[Electronics-talk] Braille Label Maker

[cheez]

I admire you for being able to use the slate and stylus.  I never got good 
at it, however, I used it when I was taking Music Theory in Junior college.

I haven't actually used a braille labeller in years.  I use the slate, or
the Perkins.  I have the dymotape thing that you can put in the Perkins if I
am going to use the tape.  Otherwise, I use label sheets and cut them.  Pam.

Matthew:
Honestly, I was a little stunned by the price when I heard it.  I knew it
would be a few more pennies, somewhere in the $200 neighborhood.
I should have asked about the pins that are used to produce the braille.
Wonder if they are cheap plastic or what I call, metalastic.  That stuff
that feels like metal but is nothing but plastic.  Like toys trucks and cars
are made of these days.
But I think, if they are made of "metalastic," that would last longer than
regular cheap plastic.
I wish APH would bring back the old braille labelers which were made of
metal.  I don't know if you've seen them.  They were heavy-duty, the case
was made of metal--real metal--and so were the pins.  The calibration was
better too.
I find with these cheap plastic labelers you get from Maxiaid and Blind Mice
Mega Mall, have more trouble with the label advance and spaces between some
of the dots.
I have one that places dots to close to each other.  Every time I braille
dot 1 after the number sign, it almost looks like a capped p.  The numbers
130 and 132 are hard to differentiate on first glance.  and no matter how
hard you squeeze the handle, the pins won't make the dot sharp enough, or
not at all.
So I just might order one just to see what it looks like.  And if it turns
out to be okay, then I'll go and do some car washes to raise the funds for
it.  No.  I'll pass the wish onto the fat guy.  Maybe he'll put it in my
Christmas sock.  I don't wear stockings anymore.  I gave that up after they
took twinkies off store shelves.  [smiles]

Sure, if you have expendable/discretionary
income.  I'll stay with the inexpensive Dymo tape labeler.--Matthew Chao
