It may have something to do with printing photographic plates. I was reading a radiologist's page to try and see the context. It was discusing digital photography and storing them to hard disk, rather than printing photographic plates. (I think). My Spanish is limited and I was just trying to get the gist of the article.
Anyway, if you look up placa in our dictionary, one of the definitions is a photographic plate.
One of the meanings of tirar is imprimir (to print)
