| − | An [[English]] brand of [[mimeograph]] that were 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.

| − | Gestetner is no longer made as a form of [[mimeograph]], although some of the old technology is in use in its present copier; the [[stencils]] are internal and they are cut by a photographic process from the original copy, which is scanned like a Xerox.
