4.0 out of 5 stars Successor to the 900 - watch out for software bug, November 21, 2000

The 980 is the 5th Epson Color Inkjet I have purchased (I like the Epson Printers). I bought the 980 because it is virtually identical to the 900 that I've had for 18 months, and I needed another printer off-site. The speed and quality are superb, but there is a bug in the installation software that will lock up your computer (happened on 2 of 3 computers I tested it on). Epson is aware of the bug, so be sure to download the revised driver from their internet site. Except for that problem it would rate 5 stars.

I have been using Epson Products for the three years I have owned my computer...The picture quality on all the Epson Stylus Printers are great... The picture quality on this one, along with the speed makes this a surpurb machine...I rate a printer by its performance... This one works when I turn it on every time... Low maintence along with high quality pictures puts this printer on the top of the performance List...

I'm a graphic designer who does a lot of presentations and color proofs. This printer is amazing: is fast, reliable and the color matching with the screen is perfect (!). I would have given a 5* rating if it came with an ethernet interfase and had a hardware postcript option.

Great buy ! Make sure to get the special paper, the matte one is quite good (hq)
