German term or phrase: Metallschliff, Untertuch, Naepfchentiefe, doppeltpoliert, Chromwalze, Ausdruck

Here are the last few words giving me headaches, all about printing technology:

"Die vollstaendige Entfernung des METALLSCHLIFFS von den bedruckten Oberflaechen"
Schliff is a ground up metal used to produce metallic printing inks.

"Druckmaschine ausgeruestet mit einer Cyrel-Platte mit UNTERTUCH und einer 75er Rasterwalze (NAEPFCHENTIEFE 30microm)"

"Folgende einfache und DOPPELTPOLIERTE Bronzen haben sich als geeignet erwiesen."

"... wobei jedoct die Rasterwalze durch eine CHROMWALZE ersetzt war."
and the last one:

"Beim Drucken ist es jetzt moeglich einen Metalleffekt mit glattem, geschlossenem AUSDRUCK von Flaechen bzw. offenen AUSDRUCKEN in negativen Schriften zu erreichen."

Many thanks in advance for any hints.
Chris

Explanation:
I have no printing dictionary and I am not a printing specialist, but as nobody else has answered, here is what I would say if I had to translate your text - for what it's worth:

Metallschliff: metal dust

Untertuch: cloth underlay

Näpfchentiefe: type depth

Näpchen means "small bowl".

A Google search yielded this explanation:
"Um sich den Flankenwinkel genau vorstellen zu können, muss man sich den Buchstaben V vor Augen halten. Wäre der Buchstabe V nun so ein Näpfchen, sind die beiden Abstriche je eine Flanke." www.tsgb.ch/archiv/98_00/wen/htmls/standardisierung.htm.

doppeltpoliert: double-polished

Chromwalze: chromium roller

Ausdruck: print

The best of luck!

Thanks for your suggestions, they were very helpful indeed.

Since all this seems to be going into a database for the benefit of posterity or other inquiring minds:
After a bit more searching I found 'ink cell' for Naepfchen at Eurodicatom.
