How is the ELIA® Tactile Alphabet produced?
Presently, the ELIA® Tactile Alphabet is produced one of two ways: either with a modified Xerox / Tektronix Phaser 300 Printer, which can print any text from a computer onto standard paper; or, from a Hewlett Packard inkjet printer, which can print any text from a computer onto a special polystyrene paper and a special heating unit. In the future, the company plans to offer products such as other computer printers and manual and electronic label-makers that will enable users to produce the ELIA® Alphabet for individualized applications.
