I could have died of joy when I found this and saw that Olympia Script was in there; my entire childhood school nonsense rushing back at once *lol*

And I still really am tempted to make a zine in the kind of magenta colour you got from spirit duplicator mimeograph machines ...

Você falou mimeógrafo e o cheirinho das folhas embebidas em álcool subiu a minha mente. Aquele carbono manchado nas laterais, a letrinha da professora no material original. Saudades da época que ao invés de fotocopiadoras xerox tínhamos era o bom e velho mimeógrafo em amarelo e cinza, com uma garrafinha de álcool do lado e muitos dedos manchados.

I'd love to get an actual spirit duplicator (the weird sweet smell! the awesome purple-magenta-pink print!) to make things with like all the stuff from school back in the day -- but alas, the chemicals used aren't exactly safe and even if I was careful, my cats are very big and also very nosy.

Carbon paper-based mimeography would certainly be safer ~ but, my purples! *lol*

Eu não sabia que existia outros tipos de mimeógrafos além do carbono+álcool. Esse tal de duplicador de espíritos parece muito foda (incrível)

Yeah, the purple-magenta text it made was a highlight of my grade school years *lol*

I don't know why the school never used carbon, now that I think about it. It would have been cool to have both, what you described is also cool --

Olha as cópias do mimeógrafo também saiam às vezes meio roxas, noutras meio cinza. Dependia muito do tanto de álcool e de qual tipo de carbono a professora usava. Elas muitas vezes deixavam a gente os alunos a cargo de rodar a manivela e fazer as folhas. Eu cheguei a montar o original de onde saia a cópia. Era muito legal.
