hickey

hickey:
An irregularity in the ink coverage of a printed page. Hickeys are caused by paper dust, dirt, or pick out on the printing blanket, all of which prevents the ink from adhering to the paper surface.

cappero:
I capperi si formano quando particelle contaminanti aderiscono alla lastra o al caucciù, causando un effetto "krapfen" (cioè piccole isole di fondi pieni circondate da un alone bianco o una zona vuota non stampata circondata da una zona stampata).
