The Laser Drill Perf-Printer
The Ultimate Braille Printer
Production of documents in Braille couldn't be easier. This network-ready printer features
parallel, serial, and Mac printer connections for maximum connectivity. A proprietary built-in text
processor uses state-of-the-art OCR technology to convert most typefaces into Braille
characters.
The high-power laser printer engine then precisely drills holes in the paper to create a Braille
document. The standard built-in paper tray handles letter size paper and card stock up to 80-
pound basis. An legal paper tray is optional. Manual feed can be used for odd sizes of paper of
similar weight, even envelopes.
Available Soon!
An optional graphics conversion processor. This revolutionary processor decomposes graphics
into basic shapes, then uses a proprietary graphics library to convert the graphic image into Braille
text. For example:
And so the printer would drill holes corresponding to the Braille for "cat."
This is just another cruel hoax, with a little inspiration from the late Kliban and his cat
books.
