Printing & Publishing
Portuguese term or phrase: Fotolitagem
In the sentence below:

"...Contratação de serviços de fotolitagem, impressão, envelopamento, etiquetagem e entrega de livros didáticos..."

What's the best translation for "fotolitagem" in the context of the sentence, preferably in American English?

Several people have sugested photolithography, but that is a term used mostly to refer to a process used in semiconductor device fabrication.

Thanks in advance....

Explanation:
If the source text was talking about taking photographs, you wouldn't hestiate to write 'photography', would you? So why hesitate over photolithography, when it's the correct word?

Photolithography existed long before the era of nanotechnology!

Photolithographing


Explanation:
Realmente, Cesar, Photolithography é mais para teoria e tecnologia ou técnica em si. Fotolitagem vem de verbo fotolitar, por isso, sugiro que do verbo Photolithograph podemos colocar como Photolithographing.
