MIS supply 2 types of plug (at least) one is a solid cylinder with a
small bump at one end, these go flush into the cart when fitted.  The
pin trick is appopriate for these.  The other design is T-shaped or
hat shaped: there is a hollow cylinder, that goes into the cart, plus
a cap that is larger than the  hole in the cart. The pin trick is not
appropriate and should not be needed for these - lift the cap part and
pull.

I suspect the main problem is quality control of the holes drilled in
the tops of the carts (some are definitely too large to give a tight
fit).

Perhaps some printers are more susceptible to leaks - mine were all
very old.  I had ink leaking around the cartridge nozzles on the
printhead (and probably also through the printhead, but it was hard to
tell).
