Are Epson ET-2800 Ink Dampers Compatible with Other EcoTank Models?

Question: 
I want a new ink damper for my Epson ET-2800 printer. On your website, I found a listing for "4PCS Used Genuine Epson Dampers for ET-2750, ET-15000, ET-3750, ST-2000, ST-4000, ST-4550, L1800, and More (No Return)." Are these dampers compatible with the ET-2800?

EcoTank Models Compatible with Epson Ink Dampers
Our website's dampers fit many Epson EcoTanks, including the ET-2800, with a slight adjustment. While each damper branch provides the same core functionality and design, the plastic tail at the back of the damper is a tad different in each model.

• What's With the Plastic Tail? The damper has a plastic tail, a detail intended by Epson to prevent confusion between the models. Historical deflection is purely cosmetic, not contributing to the damper's ink flow or functionality. Instead, it is a lockout device that prevents the damper from being installed in incompatible models.
• Will These Dampers Work on the ET-2800? The dampers you are referring to won't fit into your ET-2800 unless you slightly modify the plastic tail so that it fits into your printer. With a minor modification, like using a cutter to cut the tail, the dampers can be efficiently utilized in your ET-2800.

Steps for Modification:

• Make a Clean Cut: A clean cut is critical to avoid possible misalignment issues.
• After adjusting, fit the damper into the slot provided and check its operation.

 
Why Choose These Dampers? Epson dampers to maintain proper ink flow in the printhead and avoid clogging. Although they are not explicitly designed for the ET-2800, they are designed to work with several EcoTank series models so that they can be modified for use in your device.

Disclaimer: Printers and part compatibility issues can be tricky as they are usually hands-on. We cannot support printer repair, remote diagnosis, or advice. Just so you know, we do not ship and repair printers; instead, we do in-person evaluations and repairs at our local diagnostic service (BCH Technologies Printer Repair Service). We serve customers on a first-come, first-served basis due to the high volume of requests we receive, and getting your printer in our repair queue could take a week or two. We can repair an entire printer or only replace the broken parts, and then we will guide you on how to do it. Although not the cheapest, I encourage you to do a bit of self-help by using the internet! You can head to our YouTube channel to watch videos that can help you with your printer problems. Search the icon for videos relevant to your situation or specific model. YouTube may also recommend valuable videos from other channels.
Thanks again for contacting us. We hope this helps you perform the mod and fit the ink dampers into your ET-2800. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out!
