Review: 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.
Review: Great setup app. - The unit arrived with the edge of the box badly damaged in shipping but upon opening, I was relieved the packaging material kept the unit damage fee. I was replacing an older Epson inkjet and a Brother BW laser, settling for slighty less quality but more versatility. Highly recommend following the recommend app install on your phone to walk you through setup. I thought it was well done, very descriptive, and had no issues with setup. Satisfies most of our printing needs. If I was printing pictures, I would want to try glossy paper. On plain paper, I give it a solid "B+". Overall, I would purchase again.

### ⭐ RUN AWAY!
*by E***N on July 11, 2026*

I am a real person, I bought this printer with my own money. This is not an AI review, I did not get a promotion or kickback. My thoughts: RUN AWAY! This is my 4th Epson printer in 7 years. I print @ 40-50 pages a week. The printers have been usually reliable. I have had a 2700 series and 2 ET-2850's. The last one had a "printer pad has reached its service life" code. this is part that the owner can not replace, the unit needs to be taken in for replacement. Not worth driving 100 miles to the closest service center. I have stayed in th eEpson family because I have about 10 bottles of ink. The previous printers were pretty easy to set up and for the most part worked well, but do not last long. The newest printer, the ET-2980, was much harder to set up. not nearly as intuitive. In the past week I have lost network connection daily. VERY frustrating. I need a printer to print on demand, not be reset and fiddled with. Aug. 16, 2026 STILL - a 1 star review... Last week for some reason the printer started to print wirelessly. for about 3 days. then it stopped and I had to plug in the cable again each time I want to print. Yesterday my daughter gave me some card stock to print some small posters for a birthday party. I set the paper to premium photo matte, single sided only. Printed ok, but took about 30 minutes to print 14 pages... today I went to print some docs. Would not print in double face mode and still was printing as if it were premium paper... I rebooted both my Mac & the printer. I made sure the software I was printing from specified plain paper. BUT: the printer was locked into the premium paper mode. I deleted the printer & re-added it. no change. Finally I found on the printer a restore factory settings. WHAT A HEADACHE. The WORST interface with printers I have had since I bought my 1st printer in 1991... a TOTAL backwards progression in user friendliness...
