You know that very distinct quality you get from photocopying? Do all xerox printers have this quality? Or just the older ones?

I'm not 100 percent sure what quality you mean, unless you mean that DIY punk rock concert flyer look. Our Xerox Workcentre 7335 makes almost identical copies of what you put into it. In fact, I've found that those with no design or print background usually don't remark on any difference seen between the original and the copy.

dirty glass will produce the desired results, as will aging toner heads...I believe the older models will work best for you

you're looking for what is known as the neglected drug store xerox

If you haven't already looked, and you have a digital image, you may be able to find some kind of Photoshop filter to give you that look.

I am indeed talking about the DIY punk thingamahoozle.
It is something in the dot gain.. kind of subtle.. also the ink seems to be ridiculously thick or something?

the toner sticks to the drum with an electrostatic charge, then heat fuses it to paper. it gets sloppy when the drum wears and the rollers get dirty.

Yeah... I think that older copiers are the way to go if you don't want to figure out a way to get the look in Photoshop. You could also play try playing with the sharpness, vividness, and brightness in the copy settings on newer copiers I guess... I fooled around and figured out how to add staples on our copier. Awesome.
