HI,
we produce braille graphics for our braille large print greeting cards.
i am sure the roughness of the dots are frustrating in text. however, i
sure wish i had your frustration!!!!
our enterprise is one of a labor of love. hence, we cannot purchase an
up to date, even, a relatively older, but reliable braille embosser for
the purpose. therefore, we are winging it on a 40-year-old braille
blazer with windows ten.
we are encountering all sort of problems configuring this device to our
windows ten pc, and because quicktac is not technically supported by
duxbury, there is no help provided to assist us. quicktac is a graphics
program, but sighted people must do much of the creative work, because
the program cannot be used solely by a blind person.
if anyone wishes to toss their braille embosser, or even lend it for a
very special, treasured project, we would be grateful to experiment with
it in hopes of producing braille graphics for our customers and consumers.

Yes - replace your Tiger Max embosser! I have the same problem and have not been able to resolve it. There are ways to change the height of the dots, but the roughness remains. I am hoping to replace my Tiger Max soon. I prefer the Index BasicD v5 embosser.
To change the dot height go to the embosser print properties, Tiger setting, and click on the height you want. It is set on normal by default. However, as mentioned, this will not solve the roughness problem. I think this is an embosser issue. The Tiger Max is good for graphics, and the dots are smoother for graphics, but for regular braille, they are not smooth.
I hope this helps.

*Subject:* [duxuser] The feel of Braille dots
Hi, I recently had a request to change the feel of the Braille dots on my printer because they're a little pokier rather than round. One of our students is having difficulty because of it. Does anyone know if we have the capability of doing that?
I'm using a ViewPlus Tiger Max embosser with Duxbury, Tactileview and Tiger Software Suite.
Thanks so much!
Christine
