The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Epson EcoTank ET-2980 is the step-up tank that adds a color touchscreen and auto-duplex while keeping EcoTank running costs. High-trust Best Buy verified-purchase reviews commend its 'excellent print quality and incredibly easy setup,' plus convenient connectivity, compact size, and quiet operation, and a high-trust r/printers thread with 58 upvotes calls the quality 'unbelievable,' specifically praising 4x6 photos. The disagreement worth surfacing comes from other high-trust r/printers voices: one reports the print quality is great 'on the rare occasions it actually connects to Wi-Fi,' citing constant connection drops, and a broader r/homeschool comment about EcoTanks generally flags 'mediocre' print quality with muted colors and poor scanning.
What reviewers liked
- High-trust Best Buy verified-purchase reviews praise print quality and very easy setup
- High-trust r/printers community singles out strong 4x6 photo output
- Adds color touchscreen, auto-duplex, and supertank running costs over the cheaper ET-2800
Where it falls short
- A high-trust r/printers user reports frequent Wi-Fi connection drops
- Community threads about EcoTanks flag muted colors and weak scanning on document tanks
- Higher price than the ET-2800 without a dramatic quality leap for plain documents
