Default plastisol shelf life

What is the shelf life plastisol ink? I purchase a bulk of supplies from craiglist and some ink came with some screen. The ink could be up to 2 years old. Any thoughts on if this ink is usable. It looks like it still has some good consistency. Any thoughts. Thanks

From what I understand plastisol has a very long shelf life.

What ruins ink is if it sat in a really hot warehouse or garage for any length of time. Can stiffen it up. Other than that, I think the stuff will last indefinitely.

Plastisol will last for years. It can be ruined by exposure to either extreme heat or extreme cold. If you are smart about how you store it will last.
