With Kodak having filed for bankruptcy protection and stockists having fewer and fewer supplies for film photography on hand, it seems like film photography might be about to fade from the consumer market for good. The reasons are a bit more than obvious. A hobby photographer can buy Kodak ink cartridges instead of their film and, so equipped, they can print an enormous amount of colour photos for a very affordable price. Is there even a need for film photography supplies anymore? Time will tell, but expect a more rarefied market for such supplies.

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.
