"La pellicola di Poliammide biorientato può essere stampata in negativo mediante procedimento flessografico in modo che la stampa rimanga racchiusa ‘a sandwich’ nel laminato. "

Normally you never print negatives. Negatives are normally "developed" in a tank. You normally always just print "photographs" (prints), which are positive, "from a negative"

If somebody says "let's print the negative" then I would understand this (although I would probably ask for clarification something like, "Why do you want to print the negative? Is it some kind of abstract photographic art?):
