Good overall printer
I actually purchased the ET-2980 and was sent the 2988 which is the same printer but, includes an extra bottle of black ink. I set the printer up with an iPad with Epson’s Smart Panel app and it went very smoothly. I bought a ream of Epson EcoTank Paper and it prints very good on that. I had some HP Presentation paper and it printed even better with deeper colors and contrast on that. I also had some old Epson Photo Luster paper and that printed exceptionally great. I did all the printing from a M1 MacBook Pro 14″ and while it worked fine, there is not as much control in the print dialog as the last time I owned an Epson which was probably around 2005. The scanner works fine. After filling the ink tanks the printer does an 11 minute initialization which pumps ink through the tubes to the print heads. That brought the ink level down a little bit so, after that I had some in the bottles and filled the tank up to full again. Except the black was still slightly below full. I will wait for the level to go down about one quarter of the way before opening the extra black bottle. A full image letter page prints in about a minute in best mode with plain paper setting. With Photo Paper in Best setting a full letter page takes about 3 minutes to print. Unfortunately I bought this printer to give Epson a try because my HP Smart Tank 7602 got a clog in the color head and I couldn’t clear it. Not with printing purge color pages, built in head cleaning or fluid flushing I watched on YouTube. I looked this printer up on rtings.com and it looked like Epson had improved their black density and they have. Blacks print nice and black now. On the downside, text is not quite as sharp as the HP Smart Tank but, still very good. I have noticed that text is much clearer printing from the iPad Epson Smart Panel App than my M1 MacBook Pro. I have tried pretty much every setting on Mac and it still prints darker, filled in text. It’s super dark though. Epson is still using the same print head alignment and nozzle check as they did 20 plus years ago and much more difficult to determine than HP’s way of doing it. I am going to print something in black and color every day to try to make sure I don’t clog any of the head nozzles. The warranty says 1 Yr warranty or 50,000 prints which ever comes first and if registered within 1 year you get 2 year warranty or 50,000 prints. If the heads don’t clog I will be very happy with this printer.

Good Quality Printer
I’ve been quite impressed with this printer. We got it for homeschooling our kids and it has worked great. It was very easy to set up, and I can easily print their worksheets off from my phone. The ink was easy to fill, and I like that you can buy the refill bottles. The ink holders are pretty large so I think it should last for long time. The thing I’m most impressed with is how fast it wakes up and is ready to print. It’s not the cheapest printer on the market, but it does a quality job, has a small footprint and is aesthetically pleasing to look at.

So far so great – Still testing
I have had this printer less than a week so I’m still figuring it out. I am not a professional printer person but I have learned through research and trial and error.I was going back and forth between this model and the 2800/2803 (same printer model the number just identifies which retailer you purchased it from.) From what I understand, this 2980 was newly introduced in 2025. I did not find a lot of information about it online.Why I picked the 2980:- double sided printing. I did not want to have to flip every paper manually so the automated duplex printing option was important.- quicker printing times.- at the time I purchased, 2980 was only about $30 more expensive than the 2800. I considered this a good value.- black ink is also pigment so it’s supposed to be better quality when printing photos.Thoughts so far:No complaints. I set it up using my phone and the Epson app. I thought it was simple. It just requires some time. I did run into one hiccup but I figured it out looking through the setup menu on the printer. It was the step where you print a test page then put that printed page in the copier. The prompts also took me through the steps of connecting it to my laptop. You need to know what version of Windows you have to do this. During the one of the first steps of setting it up, you fill the large ink tanks. The tank takes almost all of the ink from the bottle. (It will not let you overfill the tanks) Then you run a setup and the printer does its thing for about 11 minutes and uses up some of that ink. I went back and emptied the rest of the ink from the bottles into the printer after this process. Full printer tank and empty bottles. Success!I can print wirelessly from my phone or laptop. It’s a very simple wireless connection. The app also has printing features and the option to control the printers power. There is also an option to assign the printer an email address so you can print from anywhere by attaching the document in an email. I have not tried this feature.I would say the build quality is fine. The printer is surprisingly light. The display screen is small. Almost unnecessarily small. It feels like it should be larger. The output tray seems sturdy and it has a feature for it to automatically close when the input paper compartment is closed. I do feel like this printer is speedy. The duplex printing takes some time and I have experienced one paper jam situation with the first attempt.There is some maintenance required for this printer. I have not yet preformed any of these tasks because it is still so new.I will update.11/22/2025

Works well, I am happy.
Printer is working very well, including printing on both sides of paper. (My previous Epson quit printing on both sides after a paper jam.) I have had the printer for only a month or two, so I don’t yet know how long the ink will last, but I am sure it will last a lot longer than the cartridges for my old printer. It is very easy to put the ink into the printer. I did have trouble making sense of the directions, because of the small print. However, using a magnifying glass, I didn’t make any mistakes, and the complete setup worked perfectly. I think it took me 45 minutes, from unpacking to printing from all the computers on my network.
