Thanks for replying!
When there is no ink installed there won't be any ink residue on the printhead and even if that is the case, cleaning the printhead would always help. The HP inkjet printers with printhead can go up to 3 cycles of cleaning to clear any print quality issues.
I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!
