I use 1400 and MIS inks and you will see some odd tones in your prints when you 
suddenly run out of ink. I normally check all inks levels before doing any print 
jobs to offset interuptions.

Thanks everybody for your replies!
Is this normal behavior, not to indicate ink levels?
Is everybody else also checking ink levels "physically"?
