The printer will print as normal, but youll have to clean out the cartridges if you want to use pigment ink in them again.
Question:- why dont you want to use pigment inks whats wrong with it.. :|

When buying third party inks compared to OEM inks they are so much cheaper, so a little extra is not much to pay for the better quality.. :)
