Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m highly disappointed in the overall experience with the Epson ET-2800 printer. What should ultimately be this printer’s positive attributes ends up being some of its greatest downfalls. I wanted my overall experience to be much better, and there was a lot left to be desired. On the positive side, I appreciate the attempt to go against the grain and provide a printer at a slightly higher cost while trying to keep the cost of ink down. Sadly, this statement is overcast by the overall build quality of this printer. At the cost of $200 plus, this printer feels very flimsy and poorly put together. A similar printer I bought just over a year ago, and at half the cost, is much sturdier. This being my initial observation, I wanted to ensure I gave this printer a fair chance. Unfortunately it was discovered that my initial negative perceptions were all but confirmed. The ET-2800 has a hard time doing any of its basic functions properly and just seems to be nothing more than the IDEA of a simple, large ink capacity printer. Pros: Prints nice clear images (usually) No ink cartridges Holds large amount of ink Simple wireless setup Lower cost of ink Cons: Constant paper jams Printer will try to print without paper in it (ink all over inside of machine) Smudges of ink on edges of paper (Rollers constantly getting ink on them) Constant error messages Too many notifications on computer Simple registration doesn’t work (Won’t recognize its own Serial #) Can’t hit close button on registration notification (must use task manager to end process) Slow Color Printing (doesn’t hit the 5ppm) Printer build quality is bad Paper Alignment Issues The biggest disappointment of this printer is how many actual prints you’ll get per full reservoir of ink. Epson’s attempt at convincing its consumers they are going to print “up to” 4,500 Black prints and 7,500 colored prints is absolute marketing bull. Two years of ink right in the box for whom? I understand with the way it’s worded I “might” get that many prints, but I didn’t even come close. I also know there are a lot of factors involved with reaching those numbers, but I was upset to find that I was only able to squeeze out just over 1,000 colored prints before needing additional ink. In addition, I can’t say I have ever owned a printer that pulls the paper through differently every time, making it so the images aren’t in the same spot on every piece of paper. I very rarely got two exact looking images because of their different placements. This printer has no clue where the paper is, whether it’s centered or how far along its come. This seems to be odd considering our technological advancements in recent years. My overall experience with this machine would be considered poor at best. I gave it 2 out of 5 stars because when it is working it does provide nice prints and I can genuinely say I’ve never had an easier wireless setup experience, but that’s about all the positives I can say about it. I would suggest looking for a different printer altogether or maybe even going ahead and taking a chance by spending a little more on a higher Epson model in hopes of better luck. The Epson ET-2800 is a good example of when a company attempts to make something simple and functional and falls completely flat.

I need this ink for my printer, it is out, I just haven't bought any yet

Love this printer! Works great! No issues! Easy to set up and connect.

Works exactly how we needed it to and is exactly what we expected also came packaged well

This printer is great on ink and prints very quickly! I highly recommend.

It works properly for my son and me therefore we can have precisely results

Overall I like the printer a lot. On the downside the very small screen to choose options using left, right, up and down arrows is confusing. Takes some knowledge for color image printing, to get the colors close, and that knowledge comes from using your photo editing program. I can get somewhat close. But for the price this is a very good printer, and look forward to be able to move up to a more expensive mode. Ink tanks, are great, they will probably last me close to a year. I do a small amount of printing of my artwork, and color labels and background for other art projects

That printer is absolutely awesome. Really east to set up and work

So far, I really like this printer. I would have given 5 stars, but the scanning feature isn't great. Some scanned documents are fine, but many are off center and blurry.

Really haven't used this long enough to give a comprehensive review, especially since I'm NOT a tech person. However, what I've seen thus far is excellent. It's great to not worry about constantly replacing empty cartridges and the print quality (I print a good bit of sheet music) is crisp and clean. My main concern is longevity since my last two Epson printers, workforce models lasted 18 months each, almost to the day. Each broke down right after I put in fresh ink...about $50 extra. I'm sincerely in hope that this one will do better. Everything else is good.

HAD TO CALL EPSON SUPPORT 6 TIMES!! UNTIL A KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON PROVIDED THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTIONS TO CONNECT THE PRINTER TO MY APPLE COMPUTER. WOULD THIS REVIEW DISQUALIFY ME FOR THE $400 CARD??

I needed a simple, basic printer for my home office and this printer meets my needs. I like the printer ink system. The printer requires very little assembly out of the box. Linking it to my laptop was a little more complicated than I had expected but that was largely my fault. It is easy to use.

So far I am pleased with my purchase. The printer is a good size, doesn’t take up a lot of space. I believe the ink will last longer. It was fast at printing out & a clean print. I would recommend.

Super easy to set up. Ink was a breeze to fill. Simple to load up on all my devices.

Product was a game changer, leveled up productivity for work completed at home.

This printer is super efficient and gives me exactly what I need! The ink has lasted a long time, I have had it for a few months now and have not had to add anything,

Great Printer. Been using for over a year and fully satisfied with it.

I have just installed the printer and printed one copy so it’s still very new to me. It seemed easy to use. The installation instructions were not the best but i followed them until the final item about installing drives? Still don’t know what that meant. Anyway, I did get it to print uccessfully. I like the smaller size of this and the ink bottles were easy to use.

There's a really good printing work well it does the job

Works really well. Like the larger ink tanks rather than the cartridges I used to have. Had a little trouble getting it set up but that was probably something on my end. I powered it off then on again and it's been working great ever since.
