Postscript
《印刷专业英语》自2007年出版迄今,已经6年过去了。该教材面世以来，蒙读者垂青，至2012年底已重印6次，被国内十余所高职高专院校印刷技术、印刷图文信息处理、印刷设备及工艺等专业作为专业课程教材广泛使用，并且反映良好。编者在深感欣慰之余，也深知教材中仍存在不少问题。同时，近年来新技术革命也促使印刷技术发生了前所未有的深刻变化，这就要求本教材也要不断完善和提高。为此，在出版社和广大读者的支持下，编者从2011年底开始，着手该教材的再版修订工作。
在本次修订过程中，编者尤为重视相关院校授课教师及读者的反馈意见。自2007年以来，不少热心读者通过电子邮件、电话、信函等方式反馈了对本教材的意见和建议，出版社的编辑多次到相关院校走访、座谈，收集并整理了相关院校对本教材的使用意见和建议，其中一些意见非常具体细微，多有真知灼见，编者借此机会深表感谢。
此次再版，对第一版教材的内容和编排方式都进行了较大程度的调整和修改。在修订过程中，力图紧扣培养掌握职业所需要的基础知识和专门知识，具有从事职业的综合素质和职业能力的技能型人才这一职业教育目标。
在内容上，新版教材替换了第一版教材中不适应最新前沿印刷技术的章节，增添了反映印刷前沿技术、反映绿色环保印刷理念、反映印刷行业采用的新技术、新工艺、新材料以及提高生产效率的管理新理念的章节。全书分为8章，共20课，取材范围广，内容涉及图像信息传播原理、印前工艺技术、印刷色彩管理、印刷工艺原理及设备、印后加工技术、印刷材料及印刷管理等领域。
在编排方式上，也进行了探索和改进，力求结合实际，注重实际应用。新版教材每课除了正文以外，还设有词汇、注释、补充阅读材料、练习题，以扩大学生的专业词汇和专业知识面。取消了第一版教材中每课的译文，改成了难点释疑，避免学生对译文的依赖。同时在每课后面均设有与正文内容同步，一定数量的多种类型的练习题，以帮助学生加深和巩固所学知识。
为方便教师教学，新版教材还为授课教师提供配套的教学资源（电子版），包括全部课文的译文和参考电子课件，可通过印刷工业出版社获取。
本教材此次修订再版，得到了本书责任编辑魏欣同志的大力帮助和支持。她不辞辛苦，多方调研，以教学需要及使用效果为出发点，将收集到的修改意见和建议及时反馈给编者，同时将她本人深思熟虑的修改计划与编者进行多次沟通讨论，最终与编者确定了修订方案，在此表示衷心的感谢。
由于编者水平有限，书中难免存在缺点和疏漏，敬请广大读者批评指正。
