[accessibleimage] Press Release: New Print and Braille Technology

Press Release April 4, 2007

New Embosser Technology for the New Millennium

 

Tactile Display Corporation proudly announces Triple Impressions. This embosser 
and printer combination is based on well-established software and hardware 
technologies.  Triple Impressions concurrently produces braille text, smooth 
continuous tactile graphics, and printed text! Braille dots, tactile graphics, 
and the visual lettering are all inked on the backside of translucent mylar 
sheets so the ink is protected from tactile reading but is visible for sighted 
readers. The transcriber can adjust the specific pressures for depth of 
embossing so other materials - braille paper and foils  - are embossable.  A 
free Grade 2 braille translator that meets NLS standards is an integral part of 
the software.  You have to feel it to believe it!

 

More Details

 

Teamwork made Triple Impressions development possible. Ioline Corporation 
(Woodinville, WA), a leader in vector graphics plotters, modified its high 
resolution hardware so print, braille, and continuous tactile graphics could be 
drawn. Symbol Graphics (Corona, CA), a leader in computerized sign making 
programs, modified its ADA sign production software to allow intermixed tactile 
graphics, print and braille text. Simple drag and drop editing allows scaling 
of tactile graphics and on screen adjustment of print and braille placement. 
The Grade 1 and Grade 2 braille translation software from Braille Research & 
Literacy (Fayetteville, GA) lets users interactively enter, edit and spell 
check all text with automatic space adjustment. Enabling Technologies (Jensen 
Beach, FL), with 36 years of embosser technology experience, is the exclusive 
US reseller of Triple Impressions; they offer on-going support for this easy to 
use computerized print, braille, and tactile graphics production system.
