Epson Smart Panel

This makes my second Epson printer with the Eco large quantity ink tanks and I have never been disappointed with them. Unfortunately, i haven’t always been so lucky with other brands that we’ve tried. In between the first and second Epson, we purchased “a different brand of printer” that never worked for us once without having to troubleshoot for an hour prior to usage. First of all, anyone that has dealt with a lot of printers throughout their lives would prob agree that having a no-fuss, no-issue, super quick and seamless productivity and a simple 1 (maybe 2)-step process to hit PRINT for a printer is a an absolute necessity. And to add to that, the fact that you’re not constantly having to replace ink cartridges really makes the day flow better. A No-hassle/no-stress printer + No-complex printer issues = a much better day for everyone. 🤪The fact that the Epson houses these large ink tanks that actually work the way they’re supposed to and because you’re not having to refill those tanks but maybe every 3-4 months (for my personal purposes) is a huge plus for me and a major time saving factor that makes my days run more efficiently. The Epsons (unlike other brands) deliver flawless results every time with rare to almost nonexistent technical issue to deal with. . Both of our Epsons have had a super easy, 2 steps or less process to producing a finished product . our current Epson ET-2980 came with an app (which concerned me given that was the issue with our previous model of a different brand)..only has two steps to follow to hit the word PRINT and you get your product in 3-5 seconds later. Incredible. So thank you Epson for making this busy mom’s day go so much faster and better! It’s the little things that make the biggest difference in a busy world!

IF I COULD GIVE 10 STARS, I WOULD! EPSON IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I plugged the printer in, hooked to wi-fi, downloaded the EPSON app and it immediately found the printer, connected, updated firmware. Worked. Everything worked in less than 10 min. I had an hp printer, “had” being the key word here. I spent literally HOURS of my life going around and around and around, trying to get it to sync up on my phone with their app. which cannot automatically find the printer and once manually entered by IP address, won’t show up in the app. They have so much going on with their auto ink scam, that the functionality of their printers and their app are all compromised. Not to mention the 17 emails I got while trying to do a simple task of connecting my printer. Emails prompting me to complete the setup. …it was set up. Over and over again! Grrr! I even paid for a subscription and still spent more HOURS of my life, looking up troubleshooting, reading blogs, reading their website suggestions and even contacting them. All failed. Will never buy hp again. Thank you soooooo much EPSON. I can’t tell you how happy I am! Beautiful print quality on my ET-2803 btw.

When we first got this printer, we liked it; despite it having no touch screen, it seemed to work okay. And we were lured in by the economical ink use. However, it seems like every time we want to print, it has disconnected, and it cannot be found! 😡 Then we have to start setup all over again, and over again, and over again, and over again, ad infinitum! 😡. Do you know what it’s like to try entering a complex wifi password on their tiny “keyboard” with no touch screen? A very time consuming process that would be bad enough if we only had to do it once, but absolute torture to have to do it every other day! Grrrr! 😡Today I tried numerous times to re-connect this thing, but it failed every single time, both with wifi, and with the Ethernet connection, nothing worked! 😡. I’m getting pretty disgusted with this terrible printer, and pretty fed up! It’s still not connected, and it’s dead in the water, a pretty useless paperweight, as far as I can see right now! EPSON, why can’t you make a printer that actually consistently works, and stays connected to a network??? And don’t be blaming the network either, we have a very fast and very capable high speed network with a 1GB fiber connection, with most devices including this printer, connected through hard wired CAT8 Ethernet cables, except for our mobile devices. Epson, Let’s get your printer to consistently work for a change!
