More Braille and tactile graphics. More quiet. Easy to use. That gives you a good idea of what the Tiger Embossers are like.

Quality Braille and speed in a compact desktop design, the Tiger Cub is the ideal Braille printer for users who primarily use 8.5” x 11”, A4 or smaller paper and still want to be able to quickly and quietly emboss braille and high-resolution tactile graphics directly from their preferred Windows programs. Use Tiger Cub for Braille production, tactile graphics, Braille math with graphics, Braille adhesive labels, Braille business cards and more.

The needs of today's Braille reader are more advanced than ever. The versatile Tiger Cub Embosser allows you to meet the challenge with ease.

Windows is the most widely used computer operating system for information exchange. The Tiger family of embossers are the only ones that allow creating and embossing of Braille directly from mainstream Windows software, such as Microsoft Office, as well as from traditional Braille-making software such as Duxbury and Megadots.

Tiger Cub can emboss Braille and graphics together on regular paper. Create graphics like you would for an ink printer using familiar Windows software. Then print directly to the Tiger Embosser. Don't worry about clumsy embosser graphics; Tiger Cub can emboss at 4 times the density of so-called high-resolution embosser graphics. Even thermal paper cannot match Tiger's patented 3-D graphics.

Braille production is just one use for the ViewPlus Cub. Also get amazing graphics straight from Windows, and emboss math graphics from mainstream software.

The Tiger Software Suite (TSS) is bundled with the Tiger Cub Braille Embosser. Contact ViewPlus for more information about the Tiger Embossers.

Accessories for the Tiger Cub:

A stack paper feeder can be attached for added convenience.

USB Kit - Free up your computer's parallel port by hooking up your Tiger Cub directly through the USB port with this handy adapter. The 6-ft. cable features gold plated connectors and gold plated copper contacts for superior conductivity and long life.
Desktop Stand - Have a place for your Braille embosser and your paper too, keeping your workspace well organized. Your printouts will automatically refold onto the stand's lower tray.

And the IVEO interactive tactile graphics solution can be added to take a embossing from the Tiger Embosser and add the capability of audio and touch to the job.
