I ordered a canvas cover for my new 3800 from this company- http://www.digitaldeckcovers.com/ It arrived today and fits well. It covers the printer with the rear paper feeder attached. It was $39.95 and can be ordered in a choice of colors and materials. My canvas one folds to a small size so it's not a pain to store when not in use. Sharon |

Mine came with a big plastic cover, too. It was big!! I don't think I would want to keep using it but if it works for you then why not?
I really posted this info for people who might search the forums for printer covers. I was put off by the $80 price I found for some covers.

Shoot....I just received my Epson 4880 and thought I could get away with a reasonable priced cover; unfortunately I just checked out the site you provided and they want $80 for the 4880 cover..... No way!
I think I'm going to head over to Joann Fabrics and Crafts and see if I can't by some black canvas and make one myself (I guess).
Cheers...
Todd

They are cheaper than B&H but I don't see why you couldn't make one. They are pretty simple.

Try CompuCover.com. I have gotten several printer and monitor covers from them.
Very reasonable price, excellent quality and fast delivery. Hard to beat.

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=187269\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] I looked at them also. But I wanted a canvas cover. My cats sometimes walk across my printer when they know I'm not looking and I thought the canvas might offer more protection. I think compucover is a good option. Sharon |

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=187135\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] Now suddenly I feel incredibly "cheap" using a cloth sheet thrown over my 9800..... On my way to Home Depot or Osh...... |

I placed my order for an Epson 2200 cover on April 19th, my credit card was billed immediately, and yet as of May 4 I haven't received notice that the cover has shipped. Two calls, one leaving a polite voice-mail inquiry, have gone unanswered. |

I'll second the recommendation for CCWear. I've bought two covers from them and they were reasonably priced and well made. -- Derek Weblog at: http://www.grandprixsw.com/WordPressThese are the best : http://www.ccwear.com/Pure cotton, no static, very kind people.

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=193446\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] To my surprise the cover arrived USPS today, ten business days after I placed the order (I'm in NY and Digital Deck is in LA). The cover looks good. All in all I can recommend them, but with some hesitation. As mentioned before, my phone calls and voice mail were not answered, and I was given no notice that the order had shipped. If you need a good cover and aren't in a rush, you might consider giving them a try. Scott |

Scott, I'm glad it worked out for you. I got a speedy answer to an email I sent before buying. Doesn't sound like consistent service. I am pleased with my cover. It fits well and goes on and off easily.

Plus, they're beautifully made. |

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=193842\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] What are the recommendations for Epson for leaving the printer on or turning it off during non-usage. Can the cover be kept on if the printer is still on (in non-use periods); any issues with heat dissapation etc.? Cheers.... TK |

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=193876\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] I would say the same with my 3800. It always feels very cool and I leave my printer on most of the time. My cover is canvas so it might be different with vinyl covers. |
