| − | An English brand of [[mimeograph]] that for many years was unavailable in the U.S. because they were so much better than American brands. Where U.S. models had cotton ink pads, Gestetners utilized a silk screen; where American [[mimeos]] relied on internal brushes and centrifugal force (or, on cheaper machines, outside applications with a brush) to spread ink around, the Gestetner used far superior waver rollers. The Gestetner also had a sophisticated method of adjustment that allowed for better registration (establishing where the print area will hit on the page), which made it vastly superior for two- and three-color mimeograph work. Gestetner is no longer made as a form of [[mimeograph]], although some of the old technology is in use in the present copier; the [[stencils]] are internal and they are cut by a photographic process from the original copy, which is scanned like a Xerox.
