Bob, I think you're thinking of a Ditto machine - printed purple.
Jaylee, I remember the Mimeograph machine too.
I learned how to use both machines in high school.

*off to find Mr. Google....he's so wonderful....*
Okay....what's the diff?

The Mimeograph machine used wax stencils stretched around a drum filled with ink. A typo while preparing those wax stencils was not a good thing!
The Ditto machine used an original image of carbon-like material, and used a solvent to transfer the image to paper. I remember the Ditto copies were purple, and yes, the solvent was smelly!
