    Hi.

    I bought a few re-manufactured/refilled ink cartridges for my HP printer at a great price compared to the new ones.

    They are sealed in plastic bag and have a clip over the print head.

    What is the best way to long term store them as i don't print a lot really.

    Thanks

    John.

    Upright, similar as they would stored be in store shelf.

    I heard this from HP rep long time ago when couple customers had bought few extra cartridges and they wanted to use them, some of the colors were missing. If the cardridge is stored on its side, the color on top might dry and block the built-in print head.

    Otherwise... dry and protected from sunlight, I'd guess.

    I wonder if i could store them in the bottom of the refrigerator it`s cool and moist , the HP website says to store them between -15c and 35c which seems a bit hot.
