[edit] Academic publishing
In academic publishing, reprints are customized article reproductions of material usually previously published in academic journals.
[edit] Book publishing
In book publishing, if a reprint has been revised from an earlier version, it is usually referred to as a new edition rather than a reprint.
[edit] Collectible card games
In collectible card games, a reprint is a card published in an earlier card set which is published again in a new card set. Often, the art on the card may be changed, or the text updated to reflect new errata.
[edit] Comic books
Publishers will reprint classic comic books from years or even decades ago, often restoring the art with newer techniques. The reprints may be standalone comic books, compilation trade paperbacks, or back-ups in other comic books.
Recent comic books which sell out may be given a second (or third or more) printing in order to bring more copies to the distributor.
