Some technical French to English translation questions

[Nicolas Claris]

Hi all and more specifically to those that speak both French and English plus knowing about offset printing.
My agency does more and more works for foreign countries (Turkey, Spain, UAE, German etc.) and of course the language used is English.
Most of our clients do not know about processes and technics involved in photography but more specifically about offset printing.
When talking face to face it is easy for me to explain, but when writing down to someone who is thousands of miles (Km:-) away, it is much better to use the precise terms in order to be quitly understood, especially when we speak about figures (quotations!).
I have search the web and found some of the terms, but still I'm not sure or I didn't find the precise one, hence my request to the good people at OPF!

Can you, if you're sure right down or correct under each sentence the precise equivalent?

argent à chaud-----------------silver hot stampling
-------------------------------
Bon à tirer----------------------pass for press
-------------------------------
corrections chromies--------color corrections
-------------------------------
détourage----------------------edging-out
-------------------------------
documents d'éxécution------Art work (this is the hires file ready to go for camera proof or printing)
-------------------------------

-------------------------------

-------------------------------
feuille en rabat----------------fold-out sheet
-------------------------------
forme de découpe-----------die cut window
-------------------------------
maquette---------------------layout
-------------------------------
offset feuille--------------------sheet-fed press
-------------------------------
pelliculage brillant------------glossy film lamination
-------------------------------
pelliculage mat----------------mat film lamination
-------------------------------
Piqures à cheval--------------stappled?
-------------------------------
rotative--------------------------web-press
-------------------------------
vernis de protection---------protective varnish
-------------------------------
Vernis selectif-----------------spot varnish
-------------------------------

Thank you very much! (in bold the very important ones)

I will attempt one term, which perhaps is the most critical.

Bon à tirer "Approved for Printing" This is the important step in which the customer (Publisher/Graphic designer/art director or photographer) officlaly approves the test print and so affirms permission and instruction to go ahead and print exactly to the appearance of that print. When the print is signed by the customer, a contract is so made that this BAT print is what was agreed apon and is the standard to which the final order of prints will be delivered.

Bonjour Asher

your are completely right, this is why I don't need attempts but real used words in the graphic/print world. ;-)
BAT is the very exact term/acronym we dayly use in French.

thanks for trying!

PS "documents d'éxécution" is also very important…

Hi, Asher,

Formidable, mon ami.

Bump!

Hé y'a pas un internaute bilingue de Québec ou de Lousiane par ici ?-)
