A machine that proves a point without using ink.
means A tool or machine that presses letters, seals, or designs into paper (or another material) so they rise up in relief, with no ink involved.
from Built from 'emboss' plus the agent suffix '-er' — someone or something that does the embossing. 'Emboss' itself traces back through Old French 'embocer' to the root 'boce,' meaning a knob, lump, or protrusion (related to the word 'boss,' as in a raised stud or knob on a shield or furniture). So at its core, an embosser is literally a 'lump-maker' — a device dedicated to raising little bosses out of a flat surface.
