A mimeograph machine (often abbreviated to mimeo, sometimes called a stencil duplicator or stencil machine) was a low-cost duplicating machine that worked by forcing ink through a stencil onto paper. [1] The process was called mimeography, and a copy made by the process was a mimeograph.
Like the mimeo machine, digital duplicators have a stencil (called a master), ink, and drum—but the process is all automated. The original is placed on a flat bed scanner or fed through a sheet feed scanner, depending on the model.
In 1988, the company acquired Itek Graphix, a leading manufacturer of plate-makers for duplicators (small format offset presses). By the late 1990s, A. B. Dick was a division of the Nesco company of Cleveland. [2] The company filed for bankruptcy in 2004, and its assets were acquired by Presstek, a manufacturer of prepress products. [8]

The Gestetner Cyclograph was a stencil-method duplicator that used a thin sheet of paper coated with wax (originally kite paper was used), which was written upon with a special stylus that left a broken line through the stencil, removing the paper's wax coating. Ink was forced through the stencil (originally by an ink roller), and it left its ...
A digital duplicator, also known as a printer-duplicator, is a printing technology designed for high-volume, repetitive print jobs (100 copies or more). Digital duplicators can provide a reliable and cost efficient alternative to toner-based copiers or offset printing equipment.
I decided the informal tone of the article regarding ditto machines was too difficult to save, so I copy/pasted part of the Spirit duplicator article in its place. --Transfinite 03:57, 15 October 2006 (UTC) As a copier/duplicator repairman I do have a lot of knowlage of them.
David Gestetner (31 March 1854 – 8 March 1939) was the inventor of the Gestetner stencil duplicator, the first piece of office equipment that allowed production of numerous copies of documents quickly and inexpensively. He also invented a new kind of nail clipper.
