Innovative complete solution for digital Braille printing
BRAILLEJET and BRAILLE VISION set new benchmarks
Embossing remains intact better than print. At least that is what printing companies have firmly believed until now when it comes to applying Braille onto packaging. But that has changed since Atlantic Zeiser, supplier of digital printing and encoding systems, recently launched its own solution for digitally printing and verifying Braille fonts – BRAILLEJET and BRAILLE VISION. The solution comprises a high-quality printing system for UV printing and a new, integrated camera control system. The benefits include superior adherence to a wide variety of substrates, transparency, contour fidelity and accuracy as well as excellent durability.
The technical challenges of printing and personalizing packaging with Braille, which have to date represented significant problems for the industry, are not the only factors behind the new development: By October 2010, all medicines sold through retail in the European Union must have Braille marking on the packaging to accommodate the needs of blind and visually challenged people.
