Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for producing multiple high quality copies of each of a series of one or two sided originals on ordinary paper while obtaining maximum net production in terms of both the number of originals copied and the number of copies produced, wherein a first right reading offset lithographic master or pair of masters are produced by known means from one or both sides of a first original, processed, pre-wet and attached to the plate holding surface or surfaces of an offset lithographic duplicator which then produces the desired number of one or two sided copies of the first original, with the image or images on the master or pair of masters being dampened (if required), inked and then offset onto a first offset blanket of first pair of offset blankets from which said image or images are in turn offset onto one or both sides of ordinary copy paper. While these copies from the first original are being run, a second master or pair of masters are being produced from the second original, processed and pre-wet. When the desired number of one or two sided copies of the first original have been produced, the first master or pair of masters are ejected. The second master or pair of masters are then immediately attached to the plate holding surface or surfaces and the process repeated.
