The somewhat optimistically named
"hectograph"
(few people report
being able to print 100 copies with one) is one of the legendary
fannish duplicating technologies. Matt decided to try it.
Prepared hecto tray Matt Strait; Matthew Strait
Fold up one corner so you can pull the sheet off the gelatine Matt Strait; Matthew Strait
Rub master sheet down on gelatine
And then peel it off, leaving ink behind
Then rub paper down over image on gelatine
Original needs to be backwards from what's needed for ditto :-)
Peel paper off of gelatine, revealing print Matthew Strait
Good advice for the future
One of a range of burnishers used (the back of a large spoon is traditional) Thorin Tatge
Master, used carbon sheet, and print (for early experiment in wrong orientation)
Pulling another print Dean Gahlon; Matt Strait; Thorin Tatge
Will transfer to many things! (And does't wash off easily.)
