[Pibe-division] braille embosser question

[Eric Guillory]

I was in a school district 2 weeks ago using one of the latest ViewPlus embossers and the braille was crisp and easily readable. I was indeed pleasantly surprised, as this was not always the case with the Tiger line of embossers. So, it looks as though ViewPlus have made significant strides in amending that previously annoying problem. A happy and safe Labor Day to all!

Subject: [Pibe-division] braille embosser question

I am working with a family who is interested in purchasing a braille
embosser.  The family home schools their blind student.  At one time
embossers the produced both braille and tactile graphics did not
produce the high quality braille of other embossers.  Is this still
true?  I am thinking about the Enabling Technologies products.  Has
anyone used the Cyclone, Phoenix or Tridant embossers and what is your
opinion.  Also feel free to recommend any other embossers that would
be good for home use.
