The Braille slate and stylus are inexpensive, mechanical, and portable tools that enable users to write Braille just as pencil and paper are used for writing print. 

We are happy to state that Prime Braille Solutions has successfully produced Braille slates locally. We have completed the process and are ready to start production. With this success, we will be able to supply them at a considerably reduced price

Storage and Maintenance

  • Slate Maintenance: Regularly clean the Braille slate to remove paper dust or residue. This helps maintain optimal embossing quality and extends the lifespan of the slate.

Paper handling

Paper Type and Quality

  • Braille Paper: Use paper specifically designed for Braille, which is thicker and more durable than standard paper. This helps in producing clear, legible Braille and prevents tearing or perforation during embossing.
  • Paper Weight: Typically, Braille paper should be around 90-120 gsm (grams per square meter). Thicker paper is preferable for embossing as it withstands pressure better.
  • Paper Size: Maximum Standard A4 size (210 x 297 mm)

 Handling and Feeding

  • Paper Feeding: When placing paper into the Braille slate, ensure it is aligned correctly with the slate’s embossing cells. Misalignment can result in uneven or incorrect Braille.
  • Smooth Handling: Handle the paper carefully to avoid creases, wrinkles, or tears, which can affect the quality of the Braille.

Embossing Process

  • Pressure Application: Ensure that the Braille slate applies consistent pressure across the entire surface. Uneven pressure can lead to inconsistent Braille quality.

 

Choosing the Right Stylus

Why It Matters: The stylus you use affects how well the Braille dots come out.

Braille quality and the size of the dots depend on the quality of the Stylus point. Although using a stylus with a sharp point will be easier on the hand it may produce sharp dots. Stylus with a rounded point is recommended for the production of high quality Braille
