Perhaps the question is whether one remembers when carbon paper was the only option -- i.e., before photo copiers? Just an idle thought.

Part of the confusion is that OP didn't describe up front what he was using the method for. For faux graining wood it makes a lot of sense. As a substitute for carbon paper, it's less useful, as a number of the followups pointed out.

Only option?? Am I the only one who remembers mimeograph machines?

Ahhhh... the sweet aroma of mimeograph paper just before a test...

[Morris Dovey]

Not to mention the old Bruning copy machines and the more compact Hectograph...

I wonder how many kids could have been rocket scientists but for sniffing those papers?

I can't remember who to give credit to, but a used fax machine cartridge (from the type that looks like a wide ribbon on rollers) works well too.

Dirt? You had dirt? We made our own from rocks.
