What does REINK mean in Scrabble?
verb
printing
To supply (a stamp pad, ribbon, or printing device) with fresh ink.
Office workers reink a rubber stamp pad once the old ink has dried out and stamps start printing faintly. Older typewriters and dot-matrix printers used cloth ribbons that a typist could reink rather than throw away, saving the cost of a full replacement. Printmakers also reink a carved block or plate between each pressing, since a single loading of ink is only enough for one or two clean impressions. The word is a straightforward combination of the prefix re- and the verb ink.
