Hi Andre,
Provided you take time and great care to set up a display
properly, and then stay rigidly with those settings, you can
do a serious degree of proofing. I have seen this done with
both Alva and Powerbraille 40 cell displays, though of
course one should not ideally be producing more than 40
cells per line.
Having said that, I personally would still advocate a final
paper proof copy. If nothing else, it serves to check the
quality and accuracy of the braille being produced by the
embosser. I'm afraid I have seen all too many cases of late
where embossers have perhaps dropped dots, or even complete
cells, for one technical reason or another.
George.
