Our Story
Architectural Printing on Kitsap Peninsula
In response to the growth of local architectural firms, developers and contractors of all types in Kitsap County, founders Joe and Rick began to provide architectural printing services to Kitsap Peninsula in 1992, and incorporated in 1996 at the Liberty Bay Marina in Poulsbo as Sound Reprographics, Inc. We soon gained a loyal customer base from Bainbridge Island to Port Orchard, and even Jefferson County.
We soon realized that we needed to add copying services to produce specification books, so we purchased our first black and white copier/printer. Eventually, requests were coming for color, so we purchased our first color copier. We learned that by adding a raster image processor (RIP) device, we could also print full color images direct from digital files, at the time not widely available in Kitsap County. We now could effectively produce short run full color brochures, flyers, business cards, postcards, booklets etc. As more of our customers began using CAD programs, we saw a need for a plotting service, to produce the originals needed to run blueprints. We purchased our first large format color printer, an HP 650c. We quickly learned that with the addition of another type of RIP device, that same plotter could produce high quality photographic images. We added a very large mounting and laminating press, and found ourselves in the large format color business, producing everything from posters, signs and banners to trade show and point of purchase displays. We expanded to more outdoor and specialty signage, wall coverings, even elevator doors. As we outgrew our space at the marina, we moved to a more central location at highway 305 near Bond Rd. The increasing need and traffic coming from Bainbridge Island caused us to expand to a 2nd location at the Pavilion, eventually becoming “corporate HQ”. Another move in Poulsbo led us to our current location, where we have been for close to 20 years. 
Supporting small businesses, schools and organizations
Time and technology finally caught up with the old process of blueprinting, and we eventually made the jump to digital toner-based engineering printers. Now we could print directly from CAD files, pdf’s, tiff’s etc and every print was an original. The technology quickly moved to inkjet, providing even higher quality and resolution, producing prints with much finer detail than ever before. Sound Repro now has the latest high quality inkjet printers in both locations.
Over the years, we continued seeking out other ways we could utilize our current equipment, computers and increasing knowledge of the graphic communications, leading us to producing vehicle graphics, apparel, dye-sublimation printing, promotional products and mailing services. A conversation with FedEx about the lack of drop off locations on Bainbridge Island, led us to becoming a FedEx Authorized Shipping Center. The idea was to not only provide full-service shipping (without driving to Silverdale), but also to provide a place to drop their FedEx packages, instead of the old tradition of standing outside the post office waiting for the FedEx truck to come by at 4:00. Yes, that’s how it used to happen!
