Odd Request For Help!

Hi all! I am looking for a rather niche product if anyone can help?

First apologies if this is the wrong forum - seemed most DIY related thus thought you clever chaps may have the answer :D

Basically I need tracing paper capable of copying printing a section of writing (black ink) onto a page at speed. This is an idea for an open-book exam (can do whatever you like, take in whatever you like) to copy references at fast speed onto a exam workbook provided on the day.

I am thinking along the lines of a giant stamp but of course this is impracticable for multiple references and would expect expensive.

Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

Thanks all,
Coeus.

    I cannot, for the life of me, work out what you are on about.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Have a look at spirit/hectograph paper used for transferring tattoo designs to skin.

    You may need to moisten the exam paper slightly with a water or deodorant spray to get the carbon image to stick.

    (can do whatever you like, take in whatever you like)

    What about a camera and photo printer?
