Braille Printing
We produce Grade 2 Braille unless otherwise requested. Grade 2 Braille is the most widely accepted form of Braille. It takes up less space on the page due to the contractions within words. Grade 1 Braille is un-contracted and used mostly for new Braille readers who haven’t learned to read Grade 2 Braille yet.

Braille Printer Process:
We make the process easy for you. When you Request a Quote, simply e-mail the text you need translated into Braille and answer some basic questions. (Quantity needed, binding method, shipping method, and timing.) We will estimate the number of Braille pages the text will convert to and provide you with a free price quote. After terms are agreed to, we will convert the entire document into Braille, paginate it to be reader friendly, and proof read. The document is then embossed, bound, and packed for shipping.
Submitting Documents:
Formats we accept are Word documents, text documents (RTF or TXT), PDF files, Excel files, Power Point files and/or hard copy. (Documents submitted electronically in Word or Text format are less labor intensive to set-up and therefore less expensive.)
Timing:
No two jobs are alike. We will work with you to negotiate an agreeable completion date.
Paper:
We use two types of Braille paper. If the document is over 32 Braille pages, we use an 8 ½ x 11 inch continuous paper that is a 92 bright 90 lb tag with a high gloss finish. This gives a "High Def" Braille dot making it much easier to read. These documents get bound with a GBC comb and can have protective covers added.
If the document is less then 32 pages, we generally suggest the magazine fold format, which is printed on 11 x 17 inch; 65 lb. cover stock, white, and super smooth.
Other formats can be requested and we will work closely with you to meet any custom requirements you may have.
