Embossers

We have a wide range of quality embossers to meet different braille production requirements.  All of our embossers are sturdy and reliable with clear, well formed dots.  All are capable of producing multiple copies from internal memory which means that your computer is not tied up after the first copy has been printed.  The Everest D, Everest 4x4 PRO and Basic-D can have double sided (interpoint) output, which halves the amount of paper required to produce braille volumes.  The Everest 4x4 PRO generates A4 size "magazine format" volumes from folded A3 paper, an increasingly popular format that saves hours of binding time.

The difference between each embosser is primarily one of speed of dot production (characters per second  CPS, or pages per hour PPH) and method of paper feed - cut sheet or tractor feed.  Most embossers are tractor feed and can use fan-fold paper of varying weights.  The Everest is a cut sheet embosser and can take varying weights and widths of paper (up to A3).  All our embossers can be used by blind or sighted people and have digitised speech that speaks menus and settings (if you would like to hear a sample of its voice, click here ).
