4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but flawed, February 13, 2007

The cover is ruggedly made and attractive, but I find that it fits too snugly on the printer
in actual use. I have to be careful every time I remove it, or else the 3800's rear paper
guide detaches and falls off, gripped by the stiff and heavy fabric of the cover, which
is otherwise thoughtfully tailored to fit over the rear guide. One could argue that
Epson should have designed the rear paper guide to attach more securely to the 3800,
but I wonder how much testing and tweaking the cover's designer did with their product
sitting on an actual 3800. I recommend this cover with this one caveat.

This review is from: Stylus Pro 3800 Tumi Printer Cover (Office Product)

Electronics like dust; the collect it like it is mana from heaven. This can be very bad with a photo printer; the last thing you want is for a lot of dust to collect on your printer and then makes its way onto to your photo while it is printing. Thus, dust covers are a must!

Sure there are plenty of generic dust covers out there, but most of those are made from plastic which discolors and dries out and doesn't hold up very well in the long run. That is where the Tumi Printer Cover for the Epson 3800 comes in. I was a little skeptical of the price at first because of my past experiences with printer covers; but, once I received it, I could see what I was paying for. This is not your typical printer cover.

The Tumi Printer Cover is well constructed of ballistic nylon - the same stuff used to make indestructible outdoor gear bags. And, it fits perfectly over my Epson 3800, completely covering down to the table it sits on, and it leaves little space under it for pockets of air full of dust to enter.

Like another reviewer, I have noticed that installing and removing the cover takes a little effort because of the rear paper feed, but that is only because Epson hung it off the printer with little to secure it. I have found that once you do it a couple of times, it is not a problem.

I researched the Epson Sylus printer that I purchased and discovered that it suffers from a weak hinge on on one of its doors and many people lost that door by the second month. I decided to preempt this problem by purchasing the Tumi cover which cam recommended highly and now I can see why. Made of medium "ballistic" nylon it has "heft" and fits like a glove. Stiff enough to hold its shape and flexible enough to conform to the printer. It even has a built-in pouch that fits over the paper feed tray so the tray doesn't have to be completely closed. Great design, great engineering, great product.
