Belichtungsfähige = illuminatable? Not really a word. The term in this context refers to a printing technique, I believe. Does anyone have any better suggestions?
Thanks very much in advance for your help!

i think the word you are looking for is illuminable.

illumination-proofed?? Not too happy with it but I could not think of nothing else right now...

I just looked "illuminable" up. It seems to mean "aufhellbar" and not "belichtungsfähig".

Thanks, all, for your suggestions. My colleagues seem to think I still haven't quite hit on the right word, though.
Did anyone else have any other ideas?

I know nothing about printing, so just a few vague ideas.
What about these?
ready/suitable for film generation or printing
camera-ready
photosensitive
photocopiable

on an english version of a German printing company's website, i found the word "exposurable"
"Prices include the legal VAT plus shipping ex factory D-15517 Fürstenwalde and on the assumption, that
exposurable print data are supplied. When desired we gladly provide an appropriate setting copy for you."
However, I don't believe this is a real word, although
google also seems to translate Belichtungsfähig as exposurable.

In the film/printing context, I would also consider saying "unexposed", as in "unexposed film".

Give us the full context, and by this I mean, the sentence you actually want to translate at this point in time.

I suppose that would help:
"Druckreife und belichtungsfähige Daten sowie farbverbindliche Vorlagen für die Druckstücke"

In that context then what about simply "disclosure"?
How have you translated the remainder of the sentence?

banny,
Belichtungsfähige Daten are computer files that can be ripped (or imaged onto a negative or printing plate). Back before the days of desktop publishing, the term would have been camera-ready (because to make a printing plate, you would image the page in a big camera onto photosensitive plate material). Nowadays, I would refer to that sort of file as a "high resolution file".
Here's how I would translate the sentence:
Ready for press, high resolution files and color proofs for the materials to be printed.
