It shouldn't. Bad quality ink cartridges, remanufactured etc. should only affect the quality of the print, and the lifecycle of the cartridge itself (ie, manufacturers of remans claim to get the same yield as original or genuine, but generally don't.) New printheads can be expensive to replace, in a lot of cases it's more cost effective to simply replace the inkjet printer.

it depends on the printer. if it's one of the HPs where the heads are in the cartridge, it will only affect the cartridge. If it's one of the other brands (Epson, Brother, Canon, Lexmark) it can damage the printer - even if the ink is of good quality. Refilling cartridges designed for single use is dangerous to the printer. Read this http://ccs-digital.com/refilling-epson-cartridges.asp

I you have a printer with an intergrated print head like an epson, brother or some canon printers then yes. Poor quality ink can damage the print head.

Yes. Bad quality ink can clog and may affect the printer head life
