Inks are formulated specifically for the print heads they go in. What you are suggesting would likely ruin the print head. If cost is the primary consideration, get a printer that has lower ink replacement cost. I bought a Kodak printer recently, and the color refill costs under $15 and the high capacity black is under $10. Reasonable enough.Can you actually make an alternative ink (using indian ink method) for an inkjet printer?
Printer ink is about the most expensive fluid on the planet, beating prize bull semen for price per mil.
Refill ink much cheaper but print quality is generally poorer or not as long lasting.
As the printhead rapidly heats the ink to make the jet fire its thermal properties are also important.
Some of them maybe use pizzo electric transducers to fire the jet in which case they might be easier to use different ink formulations.
The main problem is getting a very high colour density in the ink so it doesn't over wet or spread on the paper, yet keep it runny enough so it doesn't clog the printhead, and is dark enough to read.
The other problem is the inkjet hole size keeps getting smaller as the print resolutions get higher.
At least now you can get lasers quite cheap.
I suppose you just need to get lots of print carts and try making some ink and re-filling them and see how it goes.
Good luck
You need to modify the turbine reroute particle accellerator, if you dehydranise the carbonetic atoms the ions will expand causing the printers molecular surface sheild to regenerate. When finished Press the Start button on the popup window. Then print any document you like, the colors will print automatically.
Somebody has actually prototyped a printer which prints with coffee.
Cost effective, green (and delicious)

you can....if you print only documents
If you want to print photos use original inks
