Pro Ink Attachment (PIA)

Pro Ink Attachment (PIA)

High-speed ink & braille production

  • Prints ink text and braille fast – 90 characters/sec
  • Embosses double-sided ink and braille
  • Attaches in seconds to a Tiger Pro embosser

The Pro Ink Attachment (PIA) makes possible everything from basic braille and print text to complex printed tactile graphics. Combining the ViewPlus® Pro Embosser with HP InkJet brings together the most advanced embossing technology and unparalleled HP printing.

The fast, robust ViewPlus® Pro Embosser coupled with PIA creates the first real solution for volume braille and ink production. Save paper in production with the only embossing printer capable of double-sided braille and ink.

PIA with Pro is also the only embossing system that prints your original text along with the braille. Text is not back-translated as with others that are prone to mistakes. You can even edit your print and braille independently. Use your choice of font type or character size.

No longer are you limited to using only specialty embosser software. For the first time you can get print with braille and tactile graphics directly from Windows programs, utilizing the same software you do with your ink printer. Charts, tables, and images are printed and embossed just as they appear on the screen. The ViewPlus Pro with PIA is the most versatile embossing printer ever built - reaching beyond the single-side, text-only products of the past.

An additional license to The Tiger® Software Suite is bundled with the Pro Ink Attachment.

The Tiger system has been very easy to learn and takes very little effort to translate visual information into tactile and Braille formats in a timely manner. I highly recommend the Tiger to all my colleagues who work with individuals with visual impairments.

Our Tiger graphics surpass by far what I have seen any other Braille printer produce.

I am studying mathematics and accounting and financial management at Loughborough University and it is the first time that I have been able to receive all my maths in a tactile format since I started.

The Tiger can certainly make the kind of Braille text everyone is used to in a quality unexcelled by any other embosser. However, it can also make Braille of a kind never before touched by human hand.
