I try to use ink cartridges to the very last drop. When the printer gives me an error message saying that the cartidge is empty, I simply reinstall that cartridge, and then continue this process until the cartiridge is completely dry. Can this damage the printheads?
If possible, please provide a source.

No, it won't damage the print heads. I've been doing the same for 20 years and never had a problem or heard of anyone else having a problem using the ink to the last drop.

When you install an ink cartridge into a printer, you are also installing the printhead, it is integral with the ink cartridge.

Just going on experience I would say no. But this depends on wether you are using a Laser or Deskjet. It will likely do Little damage to Deskjet, and Little to the Laser, but overtime, this may add up. And in the areas I work, this can be quickly

it shouldn't although some times the ink can dry out and plug up the print head, if your carefull and just wash the ink out of the print head it should still work, just wait for it to dry before you use it.
