The xerox solid ink models not only don’t have chips, they don’t even have a cartridge as such, just hard wax like blocks of ink that are 100% consumed by the printer (minus a packaging wrapper). The 8560 is fax, scan, print, copy and starts at $1500.

I have an HP F4180 and, while the cartridge has an embedded chip you can apparently still inject ink into the cartridge itself with a medical syringe and bottle of black ink. I’ve been doing this for the past 6 months with no leaks, and no problems aside from the software Ink meter reporting incorrect levels.
