I will be working on a large printing job soon and need to order quite a bit of ink for Epson 3800, B & H and Atlex are the same price, which one do you think will supply with the longest expiration date. Don't want it to expire too quickly.
Thanks

How long will this printing job take to do? If it will take so long that ink expiration with new cartridges is an issue, I'd like to hear the details. :<}

Other than asking them to hand pick the latest cartridges, I don't know how you would arrange for that. Both suppliers sell a lot of ink. I doubt they have any old stuff in stock. I have bought from both, and never got any carts that were even remotely close to expiration.

I get all my 3800 ink form Lexjet and have never gotten a cartridge within even 18 months of expiration and they have simply phenomenal customer service. if you get a cartridge you are uncomfortable with, you'll have a new one the next day.

Just bought 3 this week, dates were 3/16, 6/16, and 10/16. These were from IT Supplies. Keep in mind the ink is good for a lot longer than those dates. I think you'd have the same results from almost any first tier provider.
