Italian term or phrase: punto (di stampa)
From a manual for a color plotter:

"Aumentare l’uso degli inchiostri light garantisce una minore visibilità del **punto di stampa** e quindi permette di avere un effetto maggiormente fotografico, di contro aumenta il consumo degli inchiostri perché per realizzare lo stesso tono di colore sarà necessaria una quantità di inchiostro Light maggiore rispetto al corrispondente Dark"

I'm not sure if this "punto" just refers to the printing point or perhaps "dot".

Other examples:

"- Il valore finale della curva dei light (serve per determinare il **punto** finale dell’inchiostro selezionato, in questo modo si potrà far si che continui ad essere presente anche sul **punto** a densità più elevata, oppure che smetta di essere utilizzato prima)"

Thanks for your help!
