From MTG Salvation Wiki
Imprint is a keyword ability that is featured on a number of artifact cards within the Mirrodin block. Some imprint abilities are triggered, commonly by entering play, and some are activated abilities, but both remove cards from some zone to the removed from the game zone, where they are referred to as "imprinted" on the artifact.
From the Comprehensive Rules:
- 502.34. Imprint
- 502.34a Imprint is an activated or triggered ability, written “Imprint — [text],” where “[text]” is a triggered or activated ability. Cards that are in the removed-from-the-game zone because they were removed from the game by an imprint ability are imprinted on the source of that ability.
- 502.34b The phrase “imprinted [type] card” means the card of that type that’s imprinted on the permanent. If a permanent has more than one card of that type imprinted on it, each of those cards is an “imprinted [type] card.”
