uninked

Without any ink

Uninked describes something that has not been inked—lacking ink or not yet marked with ink.

The term appears in printing and tattooing: The uninked areas of the plate remained clean.

A tattoo artist might refer to uninked skin as canvas yet to be worked.

In comics and illustration, uninked pencil drawings await the next production stage.
