It all depends, there could be a slight color shift, they could elk,
they could clog your printer, there are all sorts of if's that might happen.
I know from my old days with canons they had problems with print
heads even with their replacement cartridges.
I use after market replacements for my Epson and they work pretty good.
Know this it could void your warranty.

I have a Canon Pixma IP8500 photo printer. It prints photos and
color pictures beautifully. My question has to do with replacement
ink cartridges for this printer. If I buy the official "Canon"
cartridges, they will cost me $11.95 apiece (there are 8 different
colors, 8 different cartridges which must all have ink for the
printer to print correctly) There are any number of "Canon
compatible" cartridges available online, in all the colors, costing
anywhere from $1.95 to $5.95 and up apiece. If I use the compatible
cartridges instead of the Canon branded cartridges, will the
printing quality suffer? Or might there be other problems that I
don't even know about if I use the cheaper cartridges?
Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.
