So, for the most part, without QTR, I've been seeing the 1100 as primarily an "EZ" platform where all the "color" positions are the same.  This can work rather well, particularly if an ICC is used that starts the inks sequentially.  However, if QTR works, the platform could  really bloom.  That fast text printing is really nice for a general small office printer.  The 1100 is my default printer.
