No, I meant "display type" in contrast to print style--not contrast, as that's user-definable with threshold control.

Display types in contrast, less so.

I've been interested in those coffeemakers but have not bought one, specifically because I've been afraid I wouldn't be able to read the cups. I find that over all, print styles are much more challenging these days than they used to be, and I get really frustrated when I come up against something I can't read. I have to remind myself always that the Optacon was made before we had all of these print styles! -----Original Message----- From: optacon-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:optacon-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Huffman Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2011 5:09 AM To: optacon-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [optacon-l] Re: Hooray For The Optacon I'd be interested to know if anyone has successfully read the tops of those little cups for a Keurig coffeemaker to know what's inside. So far, I haven't been able to make that one work due to typestyles and background contrast, but would welcome any suggestions. Great weekend, all!
