No Mimeograph for me please.  It only takes one ink tube accident to 
make one hate them with a passion.   Dittos are probably what you are 
thinking of.  Dittos had their ink in the stencil that was liquified by 
the ditto fluid. (Denatured alcohol?  I was a wee lad when I used these, 
and don't recall the odor well enough to be sure. )  That limited supply 
of ink on the master was why it was only good for a hundred pages or so, 
and faded into illegibility after that.     I used to be able to use 
different colored masters to create multicolor effects on the same page. 
  A true manual color separation process.
