I have been doing a bit of digging and I’ve found a used printer, Epson Stylus Photo 1410. The print head is fairly cheap ~$150, 6 colors, 90 nozzles per color, empty ciss systems available, but the great thing about this print head is that it is driven by only 9 pins which suggests a simple serial communication protocol or single shift register. Thoughts?
The other benefit is that there are UV curable inks available for it which would be great for what I want.
