[NFBCS] Embosser that can use single sheets

[John Gardner]

Tracy, the ViewPlus Delta is a single sheet feed embosser priced at somewhere near $4000. But if you can use letter size paper, the ViewPlus EmBraille is a
Letter size single-sided tractor feed embosser with a manual single sheet feeder that works quite well. And it is a whole lot less expensive. $1995 from ViewPlus, but you might check with Irie-AT if you can get by without the software that ViewPlus bundles with its printers. The Irie BrailleBuddy is the same embosser and of course does include its printer driver but not TSS.

I'd seriously consider buying a braille embosser that can use single sheets, 11.5X10.5, or whatever the bigger braille pages measure, if the price is OK.
It looked to me like the Braille Buddy can do that.  Does anyone own the Braille Buddy?  What do you think of it?
Or is there a better choice?

I currently own an Index Basic, which so far is fine, but it is old, and won't last forever.  And I could live without having to make several tries at lining the tractor-feed paper up properly when something goes amiss.
I wonder if any mainstream printer still uses tractor-feed paper.  I bet not.
