[I cannot think of a name]

“Are you talking about photocopiers or mimeograph machines?”

I think the brand name was Savin. It wasn't mimeograph, but the paper did come in a roll and there was this two part toner. The entire process and machine was a gigantic POS.

“Are you talking about photocopiers or mimeograph machines?”

I was about to say that such machines were not "photocopiers" - but that's not true. They were photocopiers, but they weren't plain paper photocopiers.

Xerox invented the plain paper photocopier, the only kind to make copies which might, at a glance, be mistaken for a typed original. And which produces copies which stand the test of time not only better than other types of photocopy, but better than an original which was printed on newsprint (which turns brown with age). It's true, in my recollection, that Xerox machines were rare and expensive until the late 60s or even early 70s.

Anyone remember the Ozalid copiers?
