Oh yes thanks Mike, now I recall having seen diagrams produced in that way and
actually as I have some vision, the raised part being black which was also
helpful. I hate tactile diagrams with a passion but can understand that a
graph would be different.

Eleanor,
It is a printing device which uses swell paper.
The swell paper is impregnated with little capsules of alcohol. The paper has
a diagram, for example printed onto it firstwith black ink. As the paper moves
through the printer, it passes past a very bright halogen light source; the
heat is attracted to the black image on the paper, the alcohol swells up and
produces a tactile image, of a graph for example. It can also be used for
Braille printing. The printing costs are quite expensive, so not a cheap source
of printing Braille, but very good for long lasting images.
Hope that is explained well enough.
Regards,
Mike

Hello,
I hope this is within the boundary's of the list:
I am requesting a Zychem fuser to give tactile representations of graphs,
which I create. DSA are saying that it does not fall within their requirements
of supply, and it is the responsibility of the University to provide all class
material and handouts in a format I can access.
My argument is that this is for my independant work at home and has in
effect nothing to do with the University's duty to provide other materials.
Can anyone advise please?
Thanks,
Mike
