hectograph
A hectograph is a printing device that was commonly used in the 19th and 20th centuries to reproduce documents. It works by transferring an original, prepared with special inks, to a pan of gelatin or a special type of paper. The moist surface of the gelatin picks up the ink, which is then transferred onto a blank sheet of paper. This method allows for the production of limited copies of the same document.
