Sorry if query seems dumb to experts in the field, but my vocabulary is very limited here....
talking about an in-house print shop, where
"le classiche macchine tipografiche presenti e funzionanti fino a pochi anni fa sono state sostituite da moderne apparecchiature di *fotoriproduzione elettronica*"

Explanation:
It is possible the term refers to printing all kinds of things, not just images in which case the more general term "digital printing" might apply. Digital printing involves an image/photograph of the page whether it be a text page or an illustration.
