Smile Ink for Canon Printer

Appreciate some assistance.

This is one question Canon will not like.

Have two printers, a Canon BJC 2000, and a Canon BJC 250.
Use bulk black ink to refill the Canon BJC 2000, and was wondering whether the same ink could be used to refill the BJC 250. Do printers normally use "specific" ink for their make and model, or would any black bubble-jet printer ink be OK?

My understanding is that any black bubble-jet ink will do. Just a matter of the getting the ink into the cartridge.
Although I agree the manufactures replacement cartridges are overpriced, it's my experience that the ink dries alittle faster than bulk ink. I've had smearing problems using bulk ink. Nothing major. I still used bulk ink, just noticed it took a few more seconds before the page was dry enough.

There is a difference in quality of ink. My son is working on developing a new type of ink for inkjet printers. But the quality is whether or not you need them. From my understanding, the print heads are only good for about half dozen refills.
