Mimeographed

speak

Mimeographed refers to something that is copied using a stencil duplicating machine, also known as a mimeograph machine. The machine uses a stencil and a special type of ink to create multiple copies of a document, usually on a single sheet of paper. The resulting copies are often reproduced in a light blue color and are commonly used for educational or office purposes. Despite the widespread use of digital copying technology, the term "mimeographed" is still sometimes used to describe handwritten or typed notes that have been duplicated in this way.
