In America, this process is called > "stripping." Thats what I did too! There was paste-up, montage (stripping, I didn't know the term) and plate-making (exposing montage-films on photo-senstive plates in a certain sequence. We used double-page spreads and positioned them with a computed machine on the appropriate place of the plate). I was most of the time in the movement plate-maker, never did paste-up, but did a lot of montage, even at Purusha I was mainly in charge of the montage still going on.
