Titolo: PICCOLO AIUTO TRADUZIONE

Per una migliore comprensione del contesto e per l'eventuale corretta
traduzione premetto che siamo una ditta produttrice di ceramica come
rivestimento per stufe.
Tali piastrelle si possono produrre nel metono "a secco" dove la terra viene
pressata a secco con apposite presse per poi essere smaltata
o col metodo a colaggio, dove l'argilla liquida viene messa in appositi
stampi.
Io ho tradotto come vedete sotto...ogni correzione č ben accetta !!!

We are an Italian firm manufacturing tiles for stoves .
Having seen your catalogue , we believe that our products may be of interest 
to you . [thanks, antonio !]
For the most part we produce dry-pressed tiles  in sizes ranging from 50x50 
mm. to 400x400mm and beyond , and we supply some of the leading stove 
manufacturers (in Italy ? in Europe?) .
If required , we can produce glazed tiles manufactured by the poured-ceramic 
process as well as by dry-pressing . (...glazed tiles both moulded and 
dry-pressed ?) (see 1 below)
If you are interested and would like to know more , please get in touch with 
us , and we shall be happy to arrange a meeting if required .
(Last sentence ,'Ringraziando' etc. - it seems to me from your original 
letter that Italian commercial correspondence is more formal than English 
nowadays ; I wouldn't include the last sentence at all ; but I'm not a 
businessman , and I may be quite wrong .)
1) Not sure what you mean : technical terms are a problem . You know a vast 
amount about ceramic tiles , and I know extremely little , so I don't know 
whether you are confident that the English terms you use are correct , or 
whether your translation is open to suggestions ; if the latter :-
 (a) I would query the word 'printed' for 'pressata' - basic tiles are 
usually produced by hydraulic presses , so 'dry-pressed' would seem more 
likely
(b) 'smaltare' - do you actually mean 'enamel' here , or just 'glaze' ? The 
latter seems more probable
(c) 'poured ceramic' - does 'a colaggio' mean that the wet clay is poured 
into a mould  ? If so , could you say 'moulded tiles' ? (presumably these 
are tiles with some sort of complex bassorilievo ?)
(d) siamo in grado di smaltare in abbinamento con lo stampato pezzi a 
collaggio  : do you produce piastrelle stampata a secco non smaltata , 
piastrelle stampata a secco e smaltata , piastrelle a colaggio non smaltata 
, and piastrelle a colaggio smaltata , and are you emphasising here that you 
can produce both kinds of tiles in a glazed (enamelled) form ? That's what I 
understood , but I may well have got it wrong . In any event 'to enamel 
poured ceramic' sounds distinctly odd , and you can't say 'in couple with' .
(Once again , if the English words you use for the technical terms are 
indeed those used 'in the trade' , then I apologise for any apparent 
impertinence in suggesting alternatives !)
