On the other hand, the "Tiger embosser" embosses 4 levels of dots rather than the one level of the Everest, giving a lot more variation and scope in the tactile, I also have a little reservation with the "pixilation" (resolution) factor with the Everest output in graphics mode (I don't agree that the resolution is "very high quality"), a circle tends to come out as a series of straight lines that form a circle. It depends on the complexity of the tactile, but if they're high school maths or anatomy diagrams you really need the cleanest, leanest tactile possible. As usual "you gets what you pays for" <smile> Alan ________________________________ From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of DaveSRepro@xxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, 14 December 2005 5:17 AM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: Quick Tak and TGD Pro Embossers manufactured by Enabling Technologies and Index have the ability to produce Braille graphics at a resolution of 17 braille dots per inch. these are full size braille dots not undersized as some machines produce. Standard braille is produced at 8 dots per inch. This high resolution ability creates very high quality braille graphics. TGD Pro utilizes this function in the embossers and creates the graphics in "high resolution". All graphics produces in TGD Pro can be either printed and raised or converted to a braille graphic. Braille graphics created in Pro can be saves and then imported into Duxbury and placed within the document where desired. David A. Skrivanek Repro-Tronics Inc.
