Hi Alison,
I agree with you about the lack of braille labelling from the RNIB these
days.
I have the original metal version of the Reizen labeller and they are / were
brilliant. Its still going strong. But the newer plastic ones are flimsy in
my opinion, and dont last all that long.
The tape used in the Reizen can also be used with a cheap adaptor which are
available from the RNIB on a Perkins Brailler if you have one of those?
Other than that I dont really know of any other labellers available today.
I have been trying to source tractor-fed labels that I could use with my
embosser but havent yet found a supplier.

Subject: [access-uk] What are . . .
Ive just been going through the latest RNIB Products Update where they are
promoting items for sale. I wondered what is a smart Brailler they are
advertising tape for this and what is the Braille Labeller (Reizen RL350).
Since RNIB no longer provide the wide range of labels tat they used to, I am
having to buy sheets of foil labelling paper and cut my labels to size. If
there was a reasonably priced labeller, Id certainly be interested and this
is currently being advertised at around £31.
