different ways to emboss braille
I know braille can be embossed using a slate and stylus. and that you can stil buy dot matrix impact printers off amazon. also nails (the kind you hammer into wood) are sharp and durable and last long. I also got a message from Deane Blazie on facebook stating that braille embosser parts cost around $600. So what is your opinion? Could a modern epson dot matrix printer be modified to emboss braille? And since nails are a common item, could a dot matrix printer be adapted and nails, modified to produce dots on light paper all the way up to permabraille plastic sheets? Just trying to think of ways to bring down the cost of braille embossers, and maybe sell one targeted at consumers for $500 or less. Maybe would print at 15 characters per second. Also to keep costs down, maybe have the dot matrix printer motor double or tripple strike before moving onto the next dot to ensure good dot quality especially on heavier paper. Do you think these ideas would or could work? Just adapt a commercial printer to emboss braille using more common off the shelf parts?
