Please pay strict attention to the images: ink levels are at 95% estimated. Yes, this is expired ink. Has that been an issue? No, you're looking at the ink levels after paying $17 on the "bay" for a full set of cartridges, installing them, cleaning the print-heads, aligning the print-heads and roughly 4 or 5 dozen mixed mode (some B&W, some color) prints later. A full set of 6 inks for this averages $65-80 depending on where you go. Again, $17 is the average on a popular auction site and this printer just tells you "hey, these are expired, press this button to find out more", then "ok" and goes about doing what it was designed to do.
