Pros & Cons

Pros

  • EcoTank Ink System: The refillable tank design eliminates the need for expensive cartridges, providing a massive ink supply that users find much more convenient and environmentally friendly.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: The printer is highly economical over time because the bottled ink is reasonably priced and lasts significantly longer than traditional cartridges, with some users reporting thousands of prints on a single fill.
  • Easy Mobile Integration: The Epson Smart Panel app is frequently praised for making the initial setup and wireless printing from smartphones a seamless and intuitive process.

Cons

  • Small LCD Screen: The 1.44-inch display is widely criticized for being far too small and difficult to read, often requiring users to use a magnifying glass or flashlight to navigate menus.
  • Connectivity and Setup Issues: Many reviewers experienced significant frustration with the printer dropping its WiFi connection or found the initial driver installation on computers to be overly complex and time-consuming.
  • Paper Handling Limitations: The lack of an internal paper tray and reliance on a rear feeder with limited capacity is a common complaint, along with reports of frequent paper jams during automatic double-sided printing.

  1. 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.

    La impresora Epson EcoTank ET-2980 me ha sorprendido para bien. La instalación fue sencilla y rápida, y el sistema de tanques de tinta es muy práctico y económico a largo plazo. La calidad de impresión es excelente, tanto en documentos como en imágenes a color. Además, es silenciosa y se conecta fácilmente de manera inalámbrica con el celular y la computadora.

    Lo que más me gusta es que la tinta rinde muchísimo, no hay que estar comprando cartuchos a cada rato, y eso la hace muy conveniente para la casa. Totalmente recomendada para quienes buscan una impresora confiable y de buena calidad.

    Bought this printer to replace a different brand printer that was always having trouble. Setup was a breeze. Everything was straightforward and done through the app. I didn’t have to worry about using the small screen and buttons on the printer. I like having the ink tanks instead of ink cartridges. I would have preferred the black printer, but my daughter needed to be able to print for school, and I couldn’t wait the extra week since it wasn’t in stock. We’ve only used it a few times so far, but we like it and have no complaints.
