Each cartridge has the complete printing mechanism.  The printer sends
electrical signals to the cartridge and slides it across the page.
The most likely thing to happen from injecting some weird ink into the
cartridge would be to clog that cartridge.  But since you will be
starting from an empty cartridge, that is no loss.  Once my cartridge
is empty I plan to do exactly that.  The cost is right.
