A well-placed flyer can reach the eyes of thousands of people per day, regardless of which social media platform they use, if any.

If you make a flyer for an event, share the file online and encourage others to print them out too.

Before sharing, remove the metadata with Scrambled Exif on Android or Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit on Linux. Sending a copy to a friend? Send it over Signal.

This link from the same site has a long discussion of the paper needed for the masters.

It looks like paper that just has certain properties to hold onto the ink well enough without bleeding so it can then be used to make multiple impressions.

The hectograph method my mom used back in the day involved hand writing on the master sheet as it lay upon the prepared ink bed, then using the inked back side of the master to make enough copies of a worksheet for her classroom. So some experiments may be in order.
