ink/cartridge expiry
how long hp ink or hp cartridge work ? what is the date mentioned on the box ? is there any chart available from hp mentioning various printer ink validity period
strivoli
If they are sealed they last months if not even years. If they are opened, not so much.

expecting technical precise answers ( if possible chart or diagram from hp )
AFAIK no chart or diagram from HP. The item expiration should be printed on itself.
Strivoli is correct. On "recent" HP cartridges with expiration dates the date is laser-cut into the cartridge. These cartridges can expire while sitting on the shelf, so don't buy cartridges on sale and stockpile them -- they'll probably expire before you use them. Indeed, there are reports of cartridges expiring while installed in printers.

HP spends an enormous amount of effort making sure that you buy genuine HP cartridges at retail on a periodic basis. When a third party ink seller finds a way to make their cartridges work in HP printers, HP remotely updates printer firmware to prevent it.
So: I/M/O do not allow an HP printer or its support software to phone home to HP, and disable any "updaters" that the HP software installed into the system. Better yet, buy something that is not HP. Epson has inkjet printers with half-quart-size ink tanks and other manufacturers are following suit.
Disclosure: I am an (unwilling) HP stockholder and I despise their printer business.

Sorry, I have not found any other chart or newer one elsewhere — I do not see an updated one from HP. As stated above by fellow Experts, HP heavily prevents users from doing what you’re seeking. If everyone could easily do the override on all of their cartridges they would lose tons of revenue. You can downgrade firmware sometimes. Unfortunately, with newer models and their existing systems, features etc. in place they have things pretty much completely locked down nowadays which is tough. Strivoli’s second post is the answer to your post question on the expiration location and no new chart exists as he already stated.
