I can't think of any of the typical consumer machine companies that
makes such a machine (by which I mean Epson, Canon, Lexmark and HP
(unless HP has something from a special division).
None of them use solvent inks.
Also, they all charge a small fortune for OEM ink cartridge replacements.
You may wish to look at some of the Flaar reports on solvent inkjet
printers which are available via the URL below:

I'm not sure you'll find many small sized printers in this category,
however.
