The driver is pretty smart and will either allow you and most often it will either disallow you sending that print job when one or more carts ink content is iffy! I have replaced a couple of the in cartridges when receiving the message that they are out, but this always seems to happen with at the end of a print or when I send the print to the printer. I've had the Pro-100 for a couple of months, and really like it. Just watch out that you do not send a large print to it or it might go empty during the printing and you will loose a good piece of media. If you are using ONLY OEM and replacing carts with OEM and are not refilling then it is ok to go to the empty point. There are some very stubborn people out there who think the can go to the fully empty point and then can just refill without any problems. If you allow a carts to reached fully empty and you decide to refill it, you will have absorption problems in the sponge as air will have infiltrated as it emptied to the point where the ink monitor declares it as empty. If you refill, you should NEVER go beyond the low warning. SO it behooves you to make sure that when you have a carts that is declared LOW that you think twice about printing a large print. On most EPSONs the printer will stop in the middle of the print when a cart is empty and upon installation of a new one will continue to print with a hint of where the original stop took place.

Ok I am assuming that you are using OEM carts and not refilling. What happens when an in cartridge runs dry in the middle of a print with the Canon Pro-100? Will it stop mid-print and allow you to change the cartridge, then continue? This is the way my large format HP plotter works. I have a question that I can't really find a straight answer to.
