Spanish term
clichè
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Printing & Publishing
In reference printing processes. I think it might be cliché in English as well:
A lo largo del tiempo bibliotecas, archivos y diversas colecciones han guardado los productos finales de esta cultura gráfica, es decir, los objetos impresos, en particular libros y periódicos. Sin embargo, se han desatendido matrices, clichés, máquinas impresoras, y con ellos se han perdido saberes acerca de los procesos de producción, sus prácticas y gestos

clichè
It's used in English as well. The term came up often when I used to oversee the printing of books for my then-employer. See Liz's reference.

: "Cliché" is correct, strictly speaking, but readers won't understand it. Its meaning has changed in everyday parlance.

Printing blocks / plates
Even if cliche can also be valid in English, it depends on the target people of the text. If it is an informative text for a magazine or something similar, I would use printing blocks which is a more widespread term nowadays. If it is for a book and you have to respect the style and terminology, I would leave cliche.
Example sentence:
AUTOMATIC MACHINE FOR CLEANING PRINTING BLOCKS
For example image correction and retouching, page layouts, creating pdf's and preparing plates for offset printing all rely on colour management.
