I too think that `stp' isn't great.  How about something that rhymes
with print but also has a related meaning?

  Imprint

     1. To impress; to mark by pressure; to indent; to stamp.
  
     2. To stamp or mark, as letters on paper, by means of type,
        plates, stamps, or the like; to print the mark (figures,
        letters, etc., upon something).
  
     3. To fix indelibly or permanently, as in the mind or memory;
        to impress.
  
  Dint 

     1. A blow; a stroke. [Obs.] ``Mortal dint.'' --Milton. ``Like
        thunder's dint.'' --Fairfax.
  
     2. The mark left by a blow; an indentation or impression made
        by violence; a dent. --Dryden.
  
     3. Force; power; -- esp. in the phrase by dint of.
  
     To make a mark or cavity on or in, by a blow or by pressure;
     to dent. --Donne. Tennyson.

An awful idea but it might prompt someone else to have a better one.
