In 1891, [[David Gestetner]] patented his Automatic Cyclostyle.  This was one of the first rotary machines that retained the flatbed, which passed back and forth under inked rollers.  This invention provided for more automated, faster reproductions since the pages were produced and moved by rollers instead of pressing one single sheet at a time.

By 1900, two primary types of mimeographs had come into use: a single-drum machine and a dual-drum machine.  The single-drum machine used a single drum for ink transfer to the stencil, and the dual-drum machine used two drums and silk-screens to transfer the ink to the stencils. The single drum (example Roneo) machine could be easily used for multi-color work by changing the drum – each of which contained ink of a different color. This was spot color for mastheads. Colors could not be mixed.

The mimeograph became popular because it was much cheaper than traditional print – there was neither [[typesetting]] nor skilled labor involved. One individual with a [[typewriter]] and the necessary equipment became their own printing factory, allowing for greater circulation of printed material.
