expiry date?

sprinkles · 29th December 2005

i just found 2 boxes of brand new black & white photo paper (unopened) which i bought i really long time ago (i think almost 5 years ago).

was wondering if they have an expire date or if they are still good to use.

thanks.

Nope..

usually will have a dull yellowish look.

Best way is to try one out..but i wouldn't use them..

can throw away, the black is no more black, became dark gray, you can make a test print to comfirm this, no point waste time using them.
