I think the original English writer was a bit confused about the meaning of the term "imprint", and should have used "publication" instead (making Waleed's response correct then). Imprint is a "brand name" of a main publishing house - different genres might be published by different branches of the publisher, and each will carry the "imprint" of that branch.
Please chack here for the bibliographic meaning of "imprint" (which doesn't make sense in the context provided) http://72.14.235.104/search?q=cache:dEB75bZWmY4J:www.arabcin...
