Hello. I have an EPSON XP-415 printer. I always use EPSON 18 ink cartridges for this printer. Today, I got an ink cartridge called T18XL, which is also supposed to fit into the printer, since I've checked it out on the internet first. Thing is, it won't fit. Even if it's XL, is that a problem? It's supposed to fit. My printer is one of the combatible printers for this ink. Am I missing something? :/ Thank you in advance.

It usually helps to push really really really hard!

In other news: Ask the shop/website where you bought it to clear it up for you.

But is it normal? I don't wanna risk to get it broken. xD All the other cartridges need a minimal amount of strength. This one is bigger too.

if it is a compatible cartridge check that it does not have a small piece of plastic where the toggle tab is - I once tried to push one in and did not notice that it had a tiny bit of plastic holding the tab open - otherwise - sorry no help (apart from check them next to each other to see if they are different in more ways)

The tiny tape, you mean? I have already removed it. Yes, they're different, but I assumed it's because this one is XL and a newer model. Thing is, it even says on the package that it's combatible with my printer too. ;_;

no on some of my cartridges they had a tiny bit of plastic pushed down between the body and the spring tab that clicks into place and which need to be pressed to remove - I had to take that little bit of plastic out to enable the springy tab to be capable of depressing - only happened on two of the sets I received though, so may not be on yours

This cartridge doesn't have a spring tab. In order to be sure I know what you mean by saying spring tab, it's the pressable thing in the rear area (the one that touches the edge of the printer) of the cartridge, right? This cartridge doesn't have it, while my older cartridges had it. :P It's a newer model and an XL edition. :/

Trust your instincts. If it does not seem to work, then call the retailer and clarify.

How much more? I retried it, it just doesn't fit. xD It'll break eventually.

For those who don't speak Spanish (I don't either technically but I can translate what I do know and don't mind Googling what I don't), the joke translates to something like: "I knew it. The error in his system is from Layer 8."

A "Layer 8 error" is another way to say "user error". :P

If they are a different size maybe you have some information wrong?
