[Pibe-division] braille embosser question

[Eric Guillory]

Since this is a home school situation, and since (presumably) the combo of print/braille will not be as urgently needed, I would opt for something like an Enabling Juliet Pro 60 and utilize other means for graphics creation (e.g., the In-TACT tablet, Sensational Blackboard, Wiki Stix, craft supplies, etc.). Again, this is IMHO without knowing all the particulars.

Thanks Eric.  That is great news.  When I buy
 a new embosser (20 years from now) I will be happy to have one with
tactile graphics capabilities.

Next question, would people recommend a family purchase an embosser
with both capabilities?  There are many other ways to create tactile
graphics.
