Our customer support team will provide the most personalized experience from project start to finish. Our production and design teams are passionate about ensuring your success down to the last detail. We at Sound Publishing, Inc., would love to discuss becoming your coldset printing partner.
Coldset printing is a form of offset printing in which the ink dries by being absorbed into the paper. This is in contrast to heatset printing, in which the printed pages must be run through dryers to evaporate the solvents and set the inks. Coldset printing is used on uncoated papers like newsprint. The advantages of coldset printing are that it is economical, fast, and energy-efficient.
Sound Publishing has the environment in mind when they publish the Community Newspapers that keep our local communities informed. We use soy-based color inks and vegetable-based oil. Once our newspapers have been read from cover to cover, we encourage all of our readers to recycle.
Our newspapers, magazines, cardboard, and plastic wraps are recycled and repurposed at the paper mill. The paper then heads to our press facility, where we print the news from our local communities. We then begin the cycle all over again, delivering our newspapers back into the community.
All of the metal plates that we use are also recycled. And, by sharing delivery vans with national titles, we keep our vehicle emissions as low as possible.
We’re always looking to adapt to new ways of keeping our environment safe and our communities happy.
We deliver your deals to households and families throughout Washington and Alaska each week. Depending on where our readers live, your great deals will arrive in their mailboxes/driveways/porches tucked inside our newspapers.

Printing with Sound Publishing is a collaboration of ideas. We offer creative services and delivery solutions that fit your desired outcomes and budget.
Make your advertisement the lead story with wraps! Our cover wraps & spadeas achieve tremendous brand awareness and are the first thing readers will see when they pick up their copy of the paper. The height of the wrap is shorter than the newspaper, so readers will know they have our publication when they see your 4-page wrap.
