Introducing Power-Dot Braille
Experience the ultimate in tactile braille with Power-Dot Braille, delivering the strongest and most tactile dots available from any desktop braille embosser, all while maintaining a smooth, rounded shape. For the first time, production-quality braille is achievable on a desktop embosser.
High-Resolution Tactile Graphics
IRIE embossers provide exceptional high-resolution tactile graphics, featuring eight distinct dot heights that transform images into easily readable tactile formats. The embosser automatically adjusts dot height based on the image’s color intensity—darker colors produce higher dots, while lighter colors result in lower dots. This intuitive feature makes it simple for users of any experience level to create customized tactile graphics.
The eight different dot heights also enable the addition of intricate details to images and diagrams. For example, maps become more accessible when you fill a state or country with a lower dot height or pattern while leaving lakes and water bodies unfilled, enhancing overall readability.
Even better, you can customize your tactile graphics using any standard graphics software. Whether you’re using Adobe Design Suite, CorelDraw, or specialized tactile graphics software like TactileView, Tiger Designer, or Quicktac, you can easily perform dot-by-dot editing, add braille, or even insert math labels.
Fast, Local Support
IRIE embossers are built to endure, with durable hardware that extends the life of your device. And with a local U.S. headquarters, you can rest assured that any issues will be resolved quickly—typically within one business day. With IRIE embossers, great, fast service comes standard, with no extra costs.
Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are always ready to assist. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need help with setup and installation.
