pen marks
Written line residue
Pen marks are the lines, strokes, or traces left by a pen on a surface.
The term usually implies something incidental or unwanted—stray marks on fabric, scribbles on a wall, or ink that bled through paper: The used textbook was full of pen marks.
Pen marks may also refer to deliberate writing or drawing when the focus is on the physical traces rather than their content.
