imprinter
Device leaving impressions
An imprinter is a device that transfers an image or text onto a surface by pressing.
The term most commonly refers to the manual machines once used to create carbon copies of credit card transactions by pressing the raised card numbers onto paper slips: The old imprinter left purple ink on my fingers.
Imprinters also appear in labeling and embossing contexts.
