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.

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.

Not sure what a few of the reviewers experienced thinking it was a tight fit. I purchased this cover for a new Epson 3880 printer and it fits just great but certainly not overly tight.

Some said hard to put on their 3800s or 3880s, but I spent all of 3 seconds sliding my new cover on my 3880. Looks great and will keep the dust off my wonderful tool while keeping my work center looking organized and efficient. Good job Tumi.

First of all, there is absolutely NO difficulty removing the cover with the rear feed in place. To prevent any tendency of dislodging the rear feeder in the process, lift the front part of the cover off the printer first, then lift the whole cover easily off the printer. When you install the cover, retrace those steps: place the cover over the rear assembly first and then pull the front of the cover over the front edge of the printer. Nothing could be easier.

It's a beautifully made cover, as has been previously described, and part of the seemingly hefty price can be chalked up to the Tumi surcharge, but, as with so many things, you really get what you pay for.

The fit is absolutely ideal, and there are a few small nicely placed button vents in the rear for air circulation, but not enough to allow dust to be a problem.

Highly recommended, and an overall good value, even at its price point.

I purchased this for my new epson 3800 to protect it from dust, cat hairs, etc. It's well made and looks good, and does the job. I wish I had known about these covers for my previous printers, as it helps tremendously in keeping it clean and protected.

Stylus Pro 3800 Tumi Printer Cover
This is well made cover, and fits the printer like a glove.
Well worth the money paid.

This is a well made, tailored and sturdy cover. Fits over the 3880, with rear manual feeder attached, very well. MUCH better than a garbage bag (come on, folks, really?? This printer is an investment and a workhorse that I want to take good care of, and this fits the bill.) It would be prettier in silver nylon, to match the printer, but the black and red Tumi colors are sharp and the lines are very clean.

I own other Tumi products. This Epson 3880 cover is excellent. It fits nicely over my new printer. The quality is superb, as expected from Tumi. I would recommend this cover to anyone for their Epson 3880.
