Some of the chipped cart systems are pretty simple to beat... The cart is dumb as a brick. It just has a serial number in it. The printer refuses to reuse any cartridge that it has already seen as being empty. So.... You just don' t reuse the cart in the same printer the next time around. That is how some of the commercial refillers do it. You _might_ also get away with something by refilling the cart before the printer decides it is empty. But the printer might be counting picoliters for each drop it prints and refuse to print anymore than a normal cartridge full anyway.
