This would work in a similar fashion to usual ink pad stampers, although instead of the pad being an ink-soaked sponge it would be impregnated with powdered pencil lead. You would just push the stamp into the pad, the lead would stick onto it, and stamp away. I don't really know what application this
would have, but I thought it was a good idea.

would charcoal work for you? |
|
| |
I'm thinking you're going to need at least a little relative motion to make this work. |
|

Powdered graphite would probably work ok. It might be tough to "ink" the stamp without making a cloud of graphite. |
|
| |
As [phoenix]'s annotation brings up, the graphite might transfer to the paper well enough, but it would just be sitting on the very surface and be very prone to smudging. |
|
| |
I have some graphite drawing sticks that are about 1/4" square in cross section. Maybe rubbing one of those on a rubber stamp might work in lieu of a pad. |
|
| |
One possible application would be to allow an artistic "smudge" effect to be applied to a stamped image. Of course, you could probably do some form of that with ink. |
|

This should be done with a mix of iron powder and carbon, kept in an ink jar which automatically evacuates itself of air after closing. You would stamp the powder on, then it would oxidize, burning the marks into the paper. Cutting the mix with silica would adjust burn time: "Satan" strength would smoke and fume immediately after stamping. "Slow burn" would gradually etch its way into the paper over the course of the day. |

Relating to the cloud of graphite dust, you could mix it with water? |
|

Easy enough to do - rather than graphite, just use the same kind of ink as erasible ball-points. Still trying to figure out why you might possibly want to do it. |
|
| |
I thought of the erasable ink as well, but doesn't it eventually become permanent (non-erasable anyway)?
I'm still trying to figure out if there's a good use for this, too. |

Alcohol?
Disappearing ink? |

this is completely baked. In the past graphite stamp pads
were used in the college bookstore business to price
textbooks. if the price changed before the book was sold
or the book was returned to the publisher, we simply
erased the price from inside the front cover. It was a bit
messy, but it was fast and it worked. Everyone has gone
to pricing guns nowadays. |
