I've only used this printer a few times. I had a little trouble connecting it to my wifi. Ended up having to move my wifi router. I think this survey should be taken in 6 months. In the meantime, thanks again for a so-far-so-good product!
Ink levels are plummeting too fast and unable to fill them all the way to full line.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like many things about the printer but the tanks of ink instead of the horribly expensive cartridge system sold me on this printer. In addition, good quality printing, and a quiet setting make it a win for me. What I don't like is the lights - flashing, steady or "breathing" I want a" turn the light off" setting. Too many lights on every device everywhere all the time. Darkness , darkness please! I know that I can turn off the printer which obviously turns off the lights but I don't want to keep turning the printer on and off. Because it is a ring light around the on/off switch it is hard to cover with black tape but I a going to try.
Impressed, but wishing the instructions were clearer.

Verified Purchase:Yes
It has been working smoothly so far, very happy with the quality of the printing and the ease of filling the ink. It was a little finicky getting it setup, especially to our laptops, the instructions to get the laptops setup felt a little unclear, but we did sort of figure it out. The only thing we still haven't figured out is how to get it to scan to our computers. The phone was easy since it had the app, but we don't really want to use our phones.
This printer was on sale and the idea of refillable ink led us to buy it Jan. 2026. Easy to set up. Print quality as expected. The tanks took some getting used to but it sure beats frequent cartridge orders. Our rating of 3 stars is due to the ridiculously tiny display and the upright paper feed leading to curled or uneven edges.

Hi 808Review, thank you for sharing your experience with your new Epson ET-2980 printer. We're glad to hear you're happy with your purchase and we hope you have a great day! Cheers, Alissa A.– The Epson Team.
Needed to replace an Epson printer that was several years old. Printer is used at home for moderate printing tasks involving letters, documents and photos. Set up was extremely easy!! Just need to follow directions that are provided. Go one step at a time!! This easily connected to wi-fi and not only my computer but also our phones and tablets so we can print from any device. Print is clean and sharp. Filled the tanks with the ink included in the box. Setup & priming for printing took some of the ink but I used what was left in the bottles to fill the tanks back up. Full tanks after setup was completed and have now printed numerous pages. Very happy!!
