Does anyone know if this printer stops when it is out of ink? When I say
out of ink, I don't mean when the printer says it is out but when there
isn't any ink left in the sponge either. I can get at least 10 - 4X6
prints after the printer says it is out of a particular color but I
don't want to push it anymore in fear of damaging the print head.

All printers stop when they run low on ink more so 'bubble jets' as
opposed to 'ink jets' Epson with their piezo heads that squirt ink. a
bubble jet boils the ink the bubble burst and splatters the paper in the
correct place.

Just like a kettle without water, you'll burn the nozzles out as the
ink acts as a coolant. When the printer reports low ink it's time to get
ordering supplies.

See this link 'How do bubble jets work.'
