prepress film

... a PDF document if you wish to use your file to generate prepress film...

Example sentence:

For example, it is not uncommon to use a computer and imagesetter to generate film which is then stripped and used to expose the plate in a vacuum frame; this workflow is hybrid because separation and halftoning are carried out via digital processes while

printing plates

The PDF document is meant to be printed by a printing company.

prepress pellicle

I agree with the other suggestions, but since the word "pellicole" and not "film" has been used in the source text, then we should stick to that and use "pellicle" as an exact equivalent of the italian term.

"pellicle - a thin skin or film, the photosensitive emulsion of photographic film, (optics) a thin plastic membrane used as a beam splitter or protective cover"

Hope this helps :)
