Abstract
Embodiments of a system are described. In one embodiment, the system includes an ink template platform having a surface for engaging an ink template. The ink template may have a recess or engraving for receiving ink. Supports are configured to slideably position the ink template platform between a first and second position. The first position is a position for receiving ink, and the second position for delivering ink. The system also includes an ink capsule biased on a surface of the ink template. The ink capsule is slidably positionable on the ink template to deliver ink to the recess in response to the platform being positioned in the ink receiving position. An ink capsule biasing member applies a pressure to the ink capsule that is sufficient to remove excess ink from the ink template. Other embodiments of the system are also described.
