* Label reads Jonny Herbert Originals

The Jonny Herbert label produced sophisticated, junior-sized quality day, cocktail and evening dresses. The company was registered by John Buffa and Herbert Aptel in 1950 as a division on Sealove-Becker, Inc. By 1954 the company had expanded into the Midwest with a sales office in Chicago. Aptel later left the company but Buffa managed it until his death in 1973. I have not been able to track more detailed history of the company, although I must add that over the years I have owned a number of dresses from this label, and seen many more, and all are high quality, beautifully made and designed.

 

Condition 

Excellent. 

No notable flaws that I can see -  a sliver of thread can be seen on a couple of seams and stitching on hem a tad untidy but not visible at all from the front.

Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws above and beyond this will be highlighted here.

 

Comment 

Simply gorgeous dress with some fabulous design details that really make it stand apart from the rest. One of the best Jonny Herbert dresses I have had the pleasure of owning. Please drop us a line if you require additional information about this listing.

Large-format printer, fairly reliable and quick but so-so on ink usage
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Large-format scanner/printer. Accepts paper from the front (main) cassette OR through a back paper tray if you need to print something on different paper. Individual cartridges for ink. Not particularly economical on ink (and the ink of course is expensive) but the cartridges are individual (one each red, yellow, blue and black) and after a couple years of use, I've NEVER had to clean the print heads - printing is always clean and clear. Has had some issues connecting to wifi so have found the cable connection to the computer is best/more reliable. It's hard to find an absolutely perfect printer but this one comes close. I use it mostly for large scanning/printing as it goes up to 11 x 17 inches. One drawback to note is that after only a short time, the document feeder pulls the documents through crookedly, so scans/prints from the document feeder do NOT come out straight (for both single and double-sided scans.) This model is a few years old so there may be more recent Epson models on the market as of 2026.

All printer suck this one sucks less. :). Love it.
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
If you ever saw office space the movie there is a scene where he get mad at his printer and we all relate because printers have a lot of moving parts that can go bad. I have not got or set up a printer for many years. So it was a tad hard but honestly not really. It takes time because it does so much. And I wanted to rush but they truly did everything they could to baby sit us. Google the printer type with the word download. That is what I did and you come to a page you find and down load set up software. I set it up with usb. But also wireless. A tad tricky but only because I was not following directions. It takes some time to find all the packing tape and that’s fine. It’s bigger than most printers. So when I was looking for printers they were 400 or 1-2 thousand. And then this one less than two hundred. In business two hundred is like disposable. At home it’s a nice dinner. So I am impressed for the money what ya get. Personally. The screen is huge. And clear. And you can read it from many angles. It’s animated. Touch. It’s flexible you can tilt it. Better than the old brother with with a thumbnail. I also set it up on my phone. It was not hat hard and printed a photo and it printed color edge to edge and it’s on standard paper. Look nice. And like a photo in a magazine. Can’t wait to print something 13 by 19. We own a venue restaurant and do shows can’t wait to make show posters. I’m going to buy one for home but want to see what printing cost is.

Epson quality has sunk into the nameless abyss
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Really shocked that this is how bad Epson products have gotten. This MFC isn't even comparable to models that came out 20 years ago. First off the scanner is extremely poor quality. My Brother MFC from 2009 can pick up light blues and reds and brightness of the paper better then this Epson can. Which is just sad. Very poor color gambit for the scanner, it would be better to take photos with your phone and send them to the printer then use the scanner. I scan in watercolors and ink paintings/sketches and had to pull out my decade old scanner rather then use this one. Then there is the quality of the prints, which is mediocre at best. Colors don't reproduce well and you can't adjust the profile enough to get it to print correctly. Then there is the insane amount of ink this thing uses. The amount of pages you can print per cartridge is a complete lie, think half if not a 3rd of the page count unless you are only printing on a 5.5x4 sheets of paper. Cartridges are overpriced and they can not be refilled, Epson installed a one use only chip in each of their cartridges and even if it had only used half the ink in the cartridge it won't print with it anymore. They also force updates that will deactivate any cartridge you haven't replaced in a while even if it is a genuine Epson cartridge. This printer's only purpose is to be a money pit for ink cartridges you don't actually need. Never buy Epson, they have become a dishonest unethical company with a shotty product line. *update, Epson gets worst. Firmware got updated by accident. Apparently now no cartridges work with printer, even bought from Epson. Everyone is unrecognizable by the printer. Epson has gone overboard on making their printers n compatible with remanufactured cartridges that they decided to make even their own cartridges no longer work. Turning the printer into a 50lb paper weight. NEVER BUY AN EPSON PRODUCT!!!!

Nice printer
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Printer work according to what I was expecting . Prints 🖨 great and fast / copy fast . Set up is easy but wifi and wireless connection is very tricky with phone set up . it may take some extra time . I look at videos on you tube for wifi & wireless set up . The APP there's a few App . I install the Epson smart App on my phone. Or the Epson iprint . The panel display will walk you through set up . also work great for me great display . I also like the lower tray went ready to print it comes out automatically and closes automatically went turning printer off .

So fun with good results!
Works great so far! Never used a sublimation printer or heat press before in my life and the shirt below is my attempt. The ghosting was totally user error and not due to the print. The set-up process was a bit long because it involved a 14 minute ink cycle, but the instructions walk you through every step very clearly so there were no issues. Follow them and you will be up and running in about 25 minutes. It did not come with paper as represented so be sure you have some on hand. The print quality is great from my perspective and from my shopping around, it's a great value for the money. There is little to no noise and it prints much faster than I was expecting.
