unimprinted
Without lasting impression
Unimprinted describes something that has not received an imprint—no mark, stamp, or lasting impression has been made on it.
The term appears in discussions of animal behavior, where imprinting is the rapid learning process by which young animals form attachments: The unimprinted goslings failed to follow any mother figure.
More broadly, it can describe anything unmarked or uninfluenced: an unimprinted mind, unimprinted paper.
