Description
A paper designed for use with mimeograph machines. A mimeograph is a duplicating machine, invented in England in 1881, that made multiple copies using a stencil. The stencil is made from a coated fiber sheet. Typing cuts through the coating to expose the fiber base. The ink can pass through the thin fiber base to the mimeograph paper. Mimeograph paper needed to be opaque with a smooth but absorbent surface. It usually contained a high percentage of cotton fibers mixed with chemical wood pulp and/or mechanical wood pulp. It ranged in weight from 16 to 24 pound.
