English term or phrase: Spit Bar
"The Spit Bar position is overlapping with position of the In-Frame Color Patch"

Does anybody know the German term for "spit bar"? It is a term that is used in inkjet printing. The customer explained: "The spit bar is a horizontal line that we print periodically in order to guarantee that every jet is used and won’t dry out."

I assume it is a "Spritz-Testzeile" or "Tintenstrahl-Testzeile" But I don't know the exact term.

Thanks for your help.

Explanation:
Es scheint sich möglicherweise um einen Industriedrucker von HP zu handeln? Dort kommt der Terminus "spit bar" in einem Dokument zu Problemen mit der Druckerqualität öfters vor. Beim Vergleich des englischen Dokument mit dem deutschen findet man für "spit bar" "Prüfstreifen".
