This term has been asked several times already and has been extensively answered. Please check the glossary.
An Impressum is reguired by German law in any German publication, but nothing equvalent is legaly requred in English-speaking countries, so there is not any direct English equivalent for the term. As noted in previous answers, English-language publications may include some or all of the material present in a German Impressum, but this material is not called an 'imprint' or a 'masthead' or (generally) anything at all in the actual publication. The term 'masthead', by the way, is almost exclusively restricted to newspapers.

oops -- \'masthead\' is also use for magazines, but in any case the word \'masthead\' doesn\'t appears as such in the publication, the way \'Impressum\' does in a German publication

: As far as I know, these terms are not used for books, only for magazines and newspapers, appearing at the top of the front page.
