[Blindmath] Questions regarding the resolution of "swell paper" embossing

[Richard Baldwin]

I've been searching without success for information regarding the effective
resolution of the "swell paper" approach to tactile graphics.

I'm aware that many factors are in play, such as the type of ink used in
the printing process and the quality of the heating process.

In general, assuming good ink and heat conditions, does anyone know:

1. How wide must a printed line be in order to be raised in the heating
process?
2. How far apart must two raised vertical lines be to be discernible as
separate lines?
3. How far apart must two raised horizontal lines be to be discernible as
separate lines (if different from vertical lines)?

Thanks,
Dick Baldwin
