It had purple ink, it smelled unique, and you had to let the paper dry. It would have been early 80's.

Yep, it was a Ditto machine. It used a waxy master set that was typed on. This transferred the purple "wax" from the carrier sheet to a master. The master was placed on a rotating drum, a small amount of alcohol was applied to the master dissolving a small amount of the wax. the master then contacted the copy paper transferring a small amount of the purple wax to the copy paper.

You mean the mimeograph, it doesn't make copies, it just prints from a special sheet. Xerox invented and patented the first copier.

mimeograph?
It wasn't really a copier but more of a printer from an offset form.
Printed using a chemical reaction from a reversed image on special paper.
