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

For those with a tight budget, the Tiger Cub Jr. Braille Embosser is the most compact and affordable option, but it still boasts all the benefits of being a Tiger. The Cub Jr. is quiet and makes it easy to emboss high-resolution tactile graphics and Braille. Use Tiger Cub Jr. 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 Jr. 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 Jr. 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 Jr. 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 Tiger Cub Jr. 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 Jr. Braille Embosser. Contact ViewPlus for more information about the Tiger Embossers.
