The Emprint SpotDot color ink and Braille printer is the latest in the Tiger Braille printer series that includes ink printing capability – made twice as fast as its predecessor. The speedy newer Emprint SpotDot follows one year after the release of the original Emprint, which was the first Braille embosser to combine Braille and color ink in the same printed document.

As more Braille readers join the mainstream, the need for communication between sighted and blind people grows. Emprint SpotDot bridges the communication gap by allowing you to print ink and Braille simultaneously, placing the corresponding ink text characters above, on top of, or underneath each line of Braille. Sighted readers can follow along and communicate more effectively with Braille readers in the classroom and workplace.

People with Low Vision and others who may not read Braille can also use the tactile and ink features for better comprehension of spatial material. Adding color to a raised image makes materials, like tactile maps or diagrams, more engaging for people with Low Vision and students with learning disabilities. Studies have shown that a combined tactile and visual/color interface makes a stronger connection with the brain than vision alone, improving learning comprehension.

Each Emprint SpotDot includes a license of the Tiger Software Suite (TSS) – a plug-in to Microsoft Office – used to create and print Braille and ink documents in MS Word and Excel. Braille text can be embossed in a wide variety of international and Braille languages. Ink text can be printed in any size, color or font the user chooses. Tactile graphics, like maps and bar charts, are printed with raised lines and high-resolution HP Inkjet color ink. The height of raised lines and objects is automatically determined by their visual equivalent: the darker the color or shade, the higher the relief in that area.

The Emprint SpotDot doubles as both a Braille embosser and desktop ink printer, saving valuable desk space. Embossing at a competitive 50 Braille characters per second (50 CPS), the Emprint SpotDot is one of the fastest ink and Braille printers on the market. And it is the only Braille printer that also prints color ink.

Emprint SpotDot features Tiger Braille - the most advanced Braille and tactile graphics technology - and HP Inkjet for the finest quality color ink printing. The printer includes audible alerts and a control panel with easy-to-use tactile buttons. Users even get a choice of case colors - red or white.

The Emprint SpotDot uses the same paper and ink cartridges as mainstream HP Inkjet printers so supplies can be purchased at any local office supply store. Contact ViewPlus for more information about the Tiger Embossers.
