Braille Embosser

A specialized printer that produces braille text and tactile graphics by pressing raised dots into heavy paper or card stock. Braille embossers range from personal devices to high-volume production machines and vary in their ability to produce graphics versus text-only output. Graphics-capable embossers can create tactile diagrams, maps, and charts by controlling dot height, size, and spacing. However, braille embossers are expensive (often thousands of dollars), primarily found in institutional settings, and produce output that degrades with repeated handling.
