Got it.
Yes, you could say “have the printing plates ready for the presses.”
But, the question is... are they asking you to have them ready or to produce them (to manufacture them)?
Also, the text above means this to me: “make printing plates that can be readily installed into the printing presses.”
Does that make sense?

@Sol_Ledesma
the topic is on newspapers process. The presses is one of processes to make newspaper.
Then here what I want to ask is that the structure of the sentence "produce sth ready for" sounds weird to me. I want to know how to use this sentence. Can I use it like "have sth ready for"?

@WaterChannel yes. They are asking you to produce them.
Only one thing: we don’t say “produce ready” only “produce”
In the text above they use the phrase “ready for” to say “quick to put in” or “suitable.”
This might help:
Apple will have the phones ready for shipping in January (they are already made. They just need to prepare them for shipping)
Apple will produce phones for the Asian market (they have to manufacture them yet)
Apple will produce a phone ready for use without an iTunes account. (They will be making special phones that will be more user friendly, suitable for people without iTunes)
See the difference?
That is why I wanted more context. Because it was hard to tell if they are asking you to produce a special kind of plate that is ready to go in the presses.

@Sol_Ledesma Can I use ready for with another word like make?
For example, "My mother makes breakfast ready for us."
For example, "My mother makes breakfast ready for us."
- English (UK)
- Spanish (Mexico)
You could, BUT only if you mean to say that you guys need a special kind of breakfast (because you have special requirements or standards)
Here are the ways you can use make + ready:
1 using the word ready as “available” or “suitable”
The nurses have made the room ready for patients.
The chef was asked to make the food ready for costumers with nut allergies.
2 “make ready” is a common expression that means “to prepare for something.”
Make ready for winter. They say it’s going to be cold
3 a “makeready” (or “make-ready”) is a thing. In fact, it something that has to do with letterpress printing. It is the final adjustment of the presses, as far as I understand.
