If you want that "copier" look, lots of options... for instance wax or
preferably oil (easier, evener -- just use promptly) and contact to lith
film. Or -- some copy machines will do a negative. Push the button and
copy as negative onto paper (to be oiled or waxed -- or even not) or
copier-safe acetate (that is, will take the heat without melting on yr
roller).
