| | Clarification request(s) and responseJohn Walsh (asker): 9:33am Jun 9, 2004: "Eguipment" won't do in this context: Alcuni quotidiani richiedono un numero maggiore di prove a colori d’allegare all’impianto.
Roberta Anderson: 9:43am Jun 9, 2004: right: they require both the color separation films (for final output) and the color proofs (to ensure their output will be as intended by the client) - I expect this is for Ad pages? -
John Walsh (asker): 9:48am Jun 9, 2004: You got it. I see from your profile that this is your field. I got lucky.

| | separation films, color separation films, color separated films | Explanation:
that's usually what is meant by impianto fotolito: the color-separated films (output on an imagesetter from the file/pages to be printed).
The films will then be used to produce the plates, to be used for final printing.
(the graphic studio prepares the layout files; he gives them to the fotolito/service bureau who outputs them to film with color separation; the films are handed over to the printer who produces the plates for the printing press; with CtP technology, the films phase is skipped and the layout fils are utput straight to plate, using a oplatesetter instead of an imagesetter)
