[nabs-l] Braille Embosers

[Loren]

Then I would go with the romeo 25 or 40.  Or if you wanted two-sided
braille, the et or Juliet are very nice.  They all produce high quality
braille.  They do have embossers that produce at more than 40 cps, but you
will pay significantly more for them.  The bookmaker will produce around 80
cps and the express will go between 100 and 150 cps.  But you are also
talking between 8 and fifteen thousand dollars.  I have to admit that my
fantasy involves walking up to the Enabling table at a convention and
handing them the cash for one of the express 150.  But then, we all have to
have dreams, right?  

I hope this helps.  

Btw, sometimes you can find them on ebay for much less.  But then, you have
no garauntee about the condition of the product.  Also, sometimes at the end
of the year, some distributors will sell  a used one for a lot less as well.
But I have always found the people at enabling to be good to work with.

Hi,
I did not mean that I wanted the emboser to be portable, I meant I want to
be able to take my notes with me. I know I could use the braille note and
other note taking devices, but I would like somethig in which I can produce
braille on paper for myself.
