ViewPlus Adds HP Inkjet Printing to Braille Documents

CORVALLIS, Ore., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewPlus Technologies, Inc. today announced the release of the Pro Ink Attachment (PIA) Solution for adding ink print to Braille text and tactile graphic documents. ViewPlus worked with Hewlett-Packard Specialty Printing Systems to incorporate HP Inkjet into their professional series Braille printers.

Braille documents can now be shared with sighted colleagues and teachers - - even with friends and family. The PIA prints the corresponding ink characters above or alongside the Braille embossing. The PIA also allows for images to be embossed and printed. Anything that appears on the computer screen can quickly be made into a raised, printed image on paper.

Attaching the PIA instantly transforms the fast, robust ViewPlus Pro Braille printer into a high-speed embossing printer, creating the only compact integrated solution for high volume Braille and ink production. The PIA is the only embossing printer capable of double-sided Braille and ink printing thus saving paper costs in production.

"Braille readers often have difficulty communicating with sighted people at work and in the classroom," says Jeff Gardner, ViewPlus Vice President, Sales & Marketing. "Combining HP Inkjet with the ViewPlus Pro Embosser means Braille documents can now be shared with anyone."

"It is exciting and satisfying to be able to extend the value of any Hewlett-Packard solutions in supporting new users such as the visually impaired users segment," says Clay Higgins, Hewlett-Packard Director Sales and Marketing.

Pro Ink Attachment comes with software to translate text to Braille in MS Word and Excel. And, unlike other Braille printers, the Pro with PIA is quiet so it can be used in a normal office environment. The PIA is now available for purchase. Please call your local ViewPlus dealer, or contact ViewPlus directly (sales@viewplus.com, 541.754.4002) for more details.
