French term or phrase: Pix
This is from a description of various levels of skin quality in the leather industry. The full sentence is as follows:

Pas de cicatrice, morsure, pix, problème de fleur ou tâche de couleur sur la partie ventrale. Pas de trous sur la partie ventrale.

I haven't been able to find "pix" anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
