photolith
Explanation:
This is the name under which I requested from, and supplied to, printing shops in the USA. AHD defines a "photolithograph" as "a picture made by photolithography. Also shortened to 'photolith'." The law of the least effort prevails.

It is also called simply "film", but only among printers, where there is no chance of confusing it with color transparency film (chrome).

Fotolito é uma chapa de acetato com as imagens a serem impressas (em negativo). É feito um fotolito para cada cor a ser impressa e a impressão é então feita em "camadas". Pesquisei na web todas as opções oferecidas e esta me parece ser a correta. Obrigada.

photolithography


Explanation:
I am NOT AT ALL sure about this. I didn't find fotolito in my usual Portuguese dictionary but I did find that in Italian the word is used as short for "fotolitografia" (photolithography). So I thought this might be it. I have included a reference for examples of use of "photolithography" so that you can check it against your context.
