[accessibleimage] Re: producing tactile graphics

Firstly to note we manufacture swell paper and hence are a supplier to
the industry.

We have set up a free to use web site loaded with tactile images. They
are roughly based on the UK National Curriculum but I am sure many
diagrams are universal. There are regular contributions to this site so
it is constantly growing. Some subjects are more heavily populated with
images than others.

The address for this site is www.tactilelibrary.com

For any image there is a thumbnail and pdf. To access the image just
click on the pdf and print.

Hi,

One advantage with an embosser  that makes tactile graphics is the 
possibility of sharing files with others, that is someone sends you a 
file of a graphic they have made and all you do is emboss it out.
The APH a site where you can download tactile graphics "APH Tactile 
Graphic Image Library" http://www.aph.org/tgil/index.html
Another link from Canada of  downloads 
http://www.prcvi.org/visualimpairment/file_download.html
Note, files can also be used as a basis for a graphic where you can add 
or change to your specifications.

Good luck,
