impressible
Readily takes imprints
Impressible means capable of being impressed or influenced—susceptible to outside forces shaping one's feelings or opinions.
The word is rare and literary, largely replaced by impressionable: The young are impressible, their characters not yet fixed.
An impressible surface can receive an imprint; an impressible mind can be molded by experience.
