Paul,

Have you tried to drive/control the WF1100 printer with QTR?

The little printer does a reasonably good job when ICCs are used to help control and in loads, etc.  I might see if the WF 1100 does as well.  I suspect the WF 40, with its smaller drop size would do better.

Epson is making these printers very CIS-unfriendly.  The dyes were targeted at the college student, in part, on my assumption that they would be rather clog free.
