Whether you're purchasing ink cartridges for Kodak printers, Epson stylus ink cartridges or Dell ink cartridges, you may find yourself in a situation where you have exactly the right cartridge but where you still have trouble fitting it into your machine. If this is happening, there are some things that you should take a look at before you start trying to force the ink cartridge into the appropriate slot. In fact, you should never force an ink cartridge into the slot. There are many delicate plastic parts in printers and, if you force them, you may find yourself with a broken printer on your hands.
