Spanish term or phrase: estereotipos de hule
This is from a text about a Brazilian artist whose work from the sixties involved intervening on newspapers:

Tal es el caso de esta serie (estereotipos de hule usados para imprimir el periódico, que el artista alteraba a altas horas de la madrugada, en La misma dependencia del diario mientras el Censor Federal operaba sus cortes).

English translation:Rubber Stereotype
Explanation:
This is an old way of printing which was common for news paper printing in the 18th and 19th century. The plates could be made out of varying materials, in this case they seem to be rubber. I am a printmaker/photographer and am familiar with this process.
