[Trainer-Talk] Regarding Braile Embossers

[Humberto Avila]

Hello Jim,


I hope all is well.


I would look into the Index Basic D line of embossers. they are 
supported by Humanware, I believe. The Index Basic D Version 5.0 is a 
relatively modern embosser, and does its job very, very efficiently, and 
very fast. It also does tactile graphics, but am not sure that is of 
concern that much for you unless you want to emboss / look at Braille 
charts and the like for your job. This embosser is fairly popular at my 
worksight and our school district. the downside is that quite loud and 
noisy, but it has Wi-Fi and bluetooth capability, so you may as well 
make space in a closet or in an enclosed room where you don't hear the 
noise, if you have that. they're not as expensive as they used to be, 
and they have pretty much come down in price and for the kind of 
performance you're looking at, it's a good investment though I wouldn't 
be surprised to spend somewhere in the lovely tune of $3000.

Good luck with all of this and happy embosser-shopping!

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.
