blottable
Able to absorb
Blottable describes something that can be blotted—absorbed or dried by pressing with absorbent material.
Ink, spills, and excess moisture are blottable; permanent stains often aren't.
Use blottable ink if you want to create artistic smears.
The word appears mainly in technical contexts involving paper, cosmetics, or laboratory work.
