Letras dhesivas


Explanation:
"Letras adhesivas" or "tipos adhesivos" is what you seem to be looking for.

It consists of an acetate sheet with letters on it that can be adhered to paper or other materials by pressing the acetate sheet from the non-glued side.

A typical brand name is Letraset. It was the pioneer, but now there are a lot of brands.

Impresión directa con tipo (first choice if "letterpress")


Explanation:
Now, if the problem phrase refers to a "letterpress (one word) printing", my humble Appleton-Cuyás says it must be: "Impresión directa con tipo" (as opposite to that made with plates).

May be.

impresión mediante tipos móviles


Explanation:
This seems to be a method of printing which consists of pressing wood or metal images directly onto paper.
