I'm team platen.
As mentioned above, from the proper name of the print surface on a letterpress machine.

But, I'll admit that's almost as much as a stretch as the similarity to a pallet or a palette.

The issue we have here is no one knows whether it's pronounced Plaht•en (as in cat) or Plate•on (as in hate).
