ViewPlus adds HP Inkjet printing to Braille documents
 ViewPlus Technologies, Inc. (Corvallis, Oregon, February 8,
2005) - today announced the release of the Pro Ink
Attachment (PIA); Solution for adding ink print to Braille
text and tactile graphic documents. ViewPlus worked with
Hewlett-Packard Specialty Printing Systems to incorporate HP
Inkjet into their professional series Braille printers.
 Braille documents can now be shared with sighted colleagues
and teachers - even with friends and family. The PIA prints
the corresponding ink characters above or alongside  the
Braille embossing. The PIA also allows for images to be
embossed and printed. Anything that appears on the computer
screen can quickly be made into a raised, printed  image on
paper.

 Attaching the PIA instantly transforms the fast, robust
ViewPlus Pro Braille printer into a high-speed  embossing
printer, creating the only compact integrated solution for
high  volume Braille and ink  production. The PIA is the
only embossing printer capable of  double-sided Braille and
ink printing thus saving paper costs in production. 
"Braille readers often have difficulty communicating with
sighted people at work and in the  classroom" says Jeff
Gardner, ViewPlus Vice President, Sales & Marketing.
"Combining  HP Inkjet with the ViewPlus Pro Embosser means
Braille documents can now be shared with anyone."

"It is exciting and satisfying to be able to extend the
value of any Hewlett-Packard  solutions in supporting new
users such as the market segment of people with visual
impairments or age-related visual limitations" says Clay
Higgins, Hewlett-Packard Director Sales and Marketing.

 Pro Ink Attachment comes with software to translate text to
Braille in MS Word and   Excel. And, unlike other Braille
printers, the Pro with PIA is quiet so it can be used in a 
normal office environment. The PIA is now available for
purchase. Please call your local  ViewPlus dealer, or
contact ViewPlus directly (sales@xxxxxxxxxxxx, 541.754.4002)
for
 more details.
