Now, now, your confusing the machines. The pictured machine is what I
remember using in high school, but it printed nice normal black
images. The purple stuff was ditto machines.
The way I remember it, if the request was for less then 10 copies, we
photocopied it (onto thermal paper). If it was more then that but
less then 250, we used the ditto machines. If it was more then that,
we used the mimeograph machines. Or something like that. By now I'm
sure the numbers are wrong, but it was somewhere along those lines.
And yes, I've seen a true "photocopy" machine. It had trays your ran
the paper through after you exposed it. It looked like the small
photo at the bottom of this poster:
