ink blotter
Pen mess preventer
An ink blotter is a piece of absorbent paper or a pad used to soak up excess ink from freshly written documents, preventing smears before the ink dries.
Before ballpoint pens, blotters were essential desk items.
A blotter may also be a holder or frame for the absorbent sheet: an ornate brass ink blotter.
