[accessibleimage] Re: Emprint from Viewplus

Hi,

I'm sure John will fill us in and correct me if I am wrong, but yes it is
fair to call it a "personal embosser".

I believe it is similar to the Tiger, but incorporating HP desktop
technology to provide colour contrast as well.

Hi,
Just saw this. Viewplus is coming out with a new embosser combined with
color printing. Looks very exciting

Haptic Color Braille Printer By ViewPlus®

Emprint? combines HP color Inkjet printing and Tiger®: the world's most
advanced paper embossing technology.

Printed documents appear visually-identical to those from HP Inkjet
printers. Emprint? also impacts the paper so printed features are raised
for touch.

Emboss Haptic Color images and diagrams
Print raised text and math characters
Translate and print Braille
Add more impact to all your documents


Emprint? literally adds another dimension to your printed documents, using
the same paper and ink cartridges as does an HP Inkjet printer.

Make your own Haptic Color prints from any Windows 2000/XP file that
prints on an HP Inkjet printer.

Haptic Color Printing - It's a memorable experience
Studies in neurophysiology tell us that physical experience creates
especially strong neural pathways in the brain. Beyond vision alone, using
the haptic (touch) sensory modality engages the two hemispheres of the
brain simultaneously - assuring we retain information in long-term memory.

The haptic modality is the most active and interactive of all the senses,
and unlike the visual or auditory modalities, it is bi-directional.
Everyone learns better through haptic interaction with materials.

People with learning disabilities are often limited to a single learning
style and have great difficulty processing new concepts without
tactile/kinesthetic activities. In certain cases, children cannot learn to
count without touching the objects they are counting. Blind people also
need haptic prints to have any access to graphic information at all.

Printing with Haptic Color assures that everyone can make use of the
materials you create.

There are three learning styles: 1) visual, 2 )auditory, and 3)
tactile/kinesthetic
1) The tactile/kinesthetic is driven by unparalleled Tiger® embossing
2) Add photo-quality HP Inkjet printing to Emprint? for the visual
3) Place your Haptic Color prints on the IVEO? Touchpad to add auditory
feedback

With Emprint? and IVEO? anyone can read and excel - regardless of learning
style.
