増刷 (zousatsu) is the most common term for a simple reprint without changes. 重版 (juuhan) is similar but can imply a new edition with minor revisions. 再版 (saihan) often suggests a reissue after being out of print, possibly with updates. In many contexts, they are interchangeable, but 増刷 is safest for additional print runs.
The English word 'reprinting' can be a gerund or noun. In Japanese, use the appropriate noun form (e.g., 増刷) rather than trying to translate the -ing form directly. For the action, use verb phrases like 増刷する.
