(photographic) negatives

From the French "cliché", admitted with that spelling by the DRAE, often mis-spelled as "clisé", which is specific to the printing industry. The word "cliché" is well-understood colloquially (in Spain) to mean a photographic negative.
Yours is a very general list of items, none of which are printing-specific. The line with this word includes patterns, matrices, models and moldings, which would imply items from which objects can be reproduced, ergo, photo negatives.
