[John Gardner via athen-list]

Hi, I can give you pretty much any info you want on ViewPlus embossers (completely unbiased of course!) More from Viewplus.com.

  *   Lowest cost is the EmBraille available for $1500. Letter size single side tractor with hand-fed manual sheet feeder.
  *   Most popular Columbia (tractor feed, $3495) and Delta (auto sheet feed, $4195) interpoint braille and graphics.
  *   Optimised for graphics, Rogue (tractor feed $5995,)(auto sheet feed $6495) single side fast high-resolution (100 dpi) graphics and braille.
  *   Workhorse Elite, interpoint, many options including the new color ink jet attachment.

Happy to answer any questions.

Hello!

We are looking to replace a KIC Bookeye scanner for scanning books without breaking the spine. Any recommendations on recent OCR scanners for books?

Also would appreciate any feedback of ViewPlus embossers. We have not needed large scale embossing so far.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Ramya
