reproduction-quality plate


Explanation:
You don't print off a template. It's just a "guide" according to which you set up your job, which in turn goes to camera. From the camera film are made plates, which are mounted on press cylinders. Used to be in the industry.

Should say reproduction-quality copy. The \"plate\" was meant to comment on template. In offset printing, any print element is called copy (besides type, also halftones, borders, backgrounds etc.)

Ernst has: reproducible but that is more on the procreative side I believe

See ref. below:
Eigenschaft eines Dokuments, bei dem alle layoutbezogenen Vorgänge abgeschlossen sind - es sind also z.B. alle typografischen Elemente und Grafiken eingefügt und plaziert -, so daß dieses belichtet werden kann. Der Belichter fotografiert dabei die reprofähige Kopie und erstellt die Druckplatten anhand der fotografischen Vorlage. Einige Anwendungen sind speziell auf die Bearbeitung von Dokumenten bis zur reprofähigen Stufe ausgerichtet, wodurch die Herstellung eines manuellen Layouts und die Klebemontage der Elemente auf einer entsprechenden Unterlage entfallen können.
