The blame would be on the clogged passage ways BELOW the print cartridge.

The HP ink is water soluble.  Your ink isn't.
Can you think of a quick easy way to check if you've used HP's ink?
(A water faucet can't be too far away...)

I prefer to watch the situation for another 6 months or so.  If no real problems
develop, I'll probably switch to a home brew too.  In the mean time,
keep us up to date on any repairs needed (how would you clean solid water
proof ink form a thin plastic tube?)

Hope things work out.  I'd like to save some $ too.
