<p class="MsoNormal">Jim, what characteristics do you need? i.e. is a non-speedy letter size single-sided embosser good enough? If so, the best buy is a ViewPlus EmBraille ($2000) but that you can buy as BrailleBuddy from Irie-AT for $1500. The difference is
that the BrailleBuddy does not include the Tiger Software Suite and the EmBraille does. Naturally, both print really good graphics.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An embosser that prints interpoint on 11.5 paper costs $3500 or more.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m prejudiced of course since I am president of ViewPlus.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know if there has been anything written as of late regarding or comparing the best or most affordable Braille embossers, mainly for home use? I’ve done some googling, and I found something Anne Taylor wrote back in the early
2000’s. Things have changed since then, so I thought I’d ask. I’m beginning to look again.
