English term or phrase: blue (line) key
*Blue key: Blue images produced photographically on film from an assembly of the **key** negatives or positives. Used as a guide in the film assembly of separation negatives or positives required to process colour printing.

*blue-line key: Technique used when making sets of lithographic plates for colour printing. A **key image** of each page in position is prepared on Astrafoil using a blue dye, and the appropriate positives or negatives for each page are patched up in register with the *key*. When printed down to make a plate, the blue does not affect the result.

O termo "key" aparece várias vezes (blue key, key negatives or positives, blue-line key, key image) nos parágrafos acima. Alguém sabe qual o termo correcto em PT?

Obrigada desde já!
