Gemini Print and Braille Embosser

• The Gemini Braille Printer is ideal for low vision and blind users, providing a quiet Braille and ink printing technology with ink characters that can be printed in a standard size or 2-4 times larger.
• The shading can be adjusted, and ink characters can be positioned above or below the Braille. Characters can be printed in English, major European alphabets, Korean Hangul alphabet, Chinese and Japanese.
• Gemini can print in six-dot and eight-dot cells, and can emboss Braille graphics.
• Unlike other Braille Printers, Gemini's noise level has been reduced using a state-of-the-art printing method that pushes the Braille embossing pins into the paper instead of striking the paper so the entire line of Braille can be printed at the same time.
• Gemini's printing speeds are 32 characters/second (cps) for Braille and 90 cps for regular printed text.
• Gemini uses traditional Braille tractor paper, and you can choose regular or large print with Braille or Braille alone. With your Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) software (sold separately), high-quality documents for all your readers are easier than ever to produce.

Print Enlarged Ink Characters -

• This printer can print ink characters up to two and four times bigger than standard characters. It makes it easy for those with low vision to see what is written.
• It is possible to position ink characters both above and under the Braille and to adjust the shading.

Rich Function For Printing Braille -

• Besides printing Braille, it is also possible to print 8-dot Braille and Braille Graphics.
• By just adjusting the line spacing, you can use it effectively in a variety of ways.

Print at High Speed With Minimum Noise -

• The noise level has been greatly reduced by using a high-tech printing method that actually pushes the Braille printing pins into the paper instead of striking the paper.
• This method also allows an entire line of Braille to be printed at the same time.
