Illustration of a mimeograph.

The mimeographing is a screen printing method , in which a fiber web, for example by printing of letters, a dye-impermeable layer is removed. This template serves as a mirror-image intermediate original and is stretched on a printing cylinder that can take up printing ink at the points where the dye-impermeable layer has been removed and press it onto the paper to be printed .

This process initially allowed higher print runs than the copier press , which was widespread up to that point , but was quickly replaced by other copying techniques, such as the soon-to-be-emerging hectography and much later by photocopiers .

Based on the mimeograph, doctoral students at the Simon Dubnow Institute in Leipzig called their blog “Mimeo”.
