Russian term or phrase: залипы
About printing typefaces etc.

"В местах, где могут образоваться черные залипы (например, в середине буквы Ж), штрихи делаются тоньше."

Black smudges? (although it doesn't sound very technical).

All suggestions gratefully received :)

English translation:ink pools
Explanation:
"No smears, no small ink pools, just effortless writing."
(Ad for a pen.)

Also occurs as a verb:
"you can clearly see the dark shadows, usually where the ink pools at the end of a line"

Oh, here's an example even from typography, not calligraphy or pen-writing:
"The 2002 redesign of The Wall Street Journal adopted Frere-Jones' Retina face for its stock listings -- a font that clips out tiny corners where legs of letters meet, like the crook of a K, to prevent ink from pooling up and making the tables unreadable."
