[Blindtlk] Braillers

Tue Mar 29 01:09:21 UTC 2011

    I got mine through the state, so I'm just guessing it was $650. I'm not 
sure of the weight. Possibly 5 to 10 pounds lighter? IDK.

What is the cost of the "Next Generation?"  And what does it weigh?
Thanks,
Brian M

    well stick with it... in my opinion, the next generation is a cruel hoax
for making more money. yes, it is sleeker, lighter in weight, but I don't
think it's reviews do it justice. The margin knobs are difficult to move,
the erase button is a joke... I'm planning to go back to the classic I
had...

IDK what the labeler I have is called, but I do know that cutting the tape
is hard to do and gets sloppy, messed up and I end up wasting the tape cuz I
have to redo the label. It gets frustrating...

which do you prefer classic or next generation?

Robert & Nikki, that label tape holder you speak of is calle Dymo Tape
Holder for Classic Perkins Brailler. You can get it from Perkins Products at
Howe Press Perkins School for the blind, Amazon.com, Maxi-Aids and
Independant Living Aids.

Hope this helps,

T. J.

Hi Nikki -- as far as labelers go, I bought a thing from the American
Printing House for the Blind in Louisville which is a big, flat metal strip
with a big slit running the length along the middle of the strip. On each
end are two clips into which you can put braille label tape from a role.
You then put the metal strip into the brailler between the platin and the
roller above, just like you'd put in a sheet of paper but you wouldn't roll
it in.  You couldn't roll it in if you wanted to because there is a
90-degree bend in the strip so it will stop against the back pannel of the
brailler.  The tape strip slides in between the top and bottom elements of
the brailler embossing head.  I love this thing because you can then use a
brailler to label quickly and with total accuracy. When you're done, you
slide the tape out of the clips, cut it off the role, and you've got your
totally accurate braille label.  I don't know what they exactly call it, but
I hope this helps.

Which do you prefer and why... the classic Perkins or Next Generation?

Are there other kinds of labelers other than the cheap plastic ones that
don't cut well? If so, what are their names and use for?
