"Kodak Approvals"
I think he refers to the Kodalith MP System (a proprietary orthochromatic film system)
orthochromatic is the photographic emulsion sensitive to all colours except red. -> "lith film"the guy wants you to deliver this film, i guess.
--------------------------
SWOP color bars:
SWOP= "Specifications for Web Offset Publications" A system of standards developed for the printing industry to aid consistency in the use of colour separation films and color proofing.
You can usually add these bars in Illy and Indesign. They will be added in the trim area where you might also add trim marks.
------------------------------
Cromalin: A proprietary dry proofing system from DuPont which uses toners on light sensitive papers. aka -> "off press proofs" or "prepress proofs"
Matchprint: A proprietary dry proofing system from 3M which uses toners on light sensitive papers, used for checking colour reproduction of film prior to printing. aka -> "off press proofs" or "prepress proofs"
(it's an alternative to 'wet proof' which uses printing ink)--------------------------------...
blueline: [in short] a low quality proof used as a final check before platemaking. checking for layout purposes; page order, missing items etc. NOT FOR COLOURCHECKING.
"insertion Order" to me sounds like a document stating the ads layout/placing in the printed material...
