I suspect that the dating has to do with the fact that in time the pigments 
settle to whatever the bottom of  the cart is. Shake well before using. Not 
just yourself.

What I don't understand is why these inks have a 'best before' date.  If
the pigments are designed to last for many decades, then this doesn't
make sense.  But then, even table salt has a best before date these days :-|
