There was also mimeo, or some similar spelling, from mimeograph

Mimeos worked differently and didn’t smell nearly as strong, but they needed special paper (“twilltone” in the fanzine world) and the stencils were more expensive than ditto masters. You’d use them for large copy runs since a stencil could run off unlimited copies. Ditto masters were basically carbon paper and were good for maybe 30-50 copies depending. About right for a batch of class handouts.
