Hi George,

Would this not be better achieved in the software so it can work with any
interpoint embosser? I can think of several ways it might be accomplished,
for example once the page has been translated it would be a simple
character-to-character substitution at the point of transmission to the
embosser if necessary.

I am just about to enter the world of interpoint embossing so I may be a
little off here but it seems reasonable to me.

Thanks.

Hi David,

This is a very interesting idea.

Index used to do something similar to this with their original single-sided
basic models for continuous paper.  The idea was that you simply bound it on
the left, and only had to split one horizontal perforation.

I guess in theory, you could still do this, and bind by one of the
horizontal perfs, having single side back to back.

Oddly enough, it is something I have to consider for Braille DVD booklets.

I'll add it to the Suggestions Database, and perhaps see if Index themselves
have some ideas.
