The needs of today's braille reader are more advanced than ever. The versatile Tiger Cub Embosser allows you to meet the challenge with ease. The Windows(r) OS is the most widely used for information exchange. Tigers are the only embossers that allows creating and embossing of braille directly from mainstream Windows(r) software like MS Office(r), as well as from traditional braille-making software like Duxbury and Megadots. You don't need to buy a sound enclosure - The Tiger Cub Embosser is quiet. There is finally a solution for tricky and costly thermal paper. The Tiger Cub can emboss braille and graphics together on regular paper. Create graphics like you would for an ink printer using familiar Windows(r) software. Print directly to the Tiger Embosser. Don't worry about clumsy embosser graphics. Tiger Cub can emboss at 4 times the density of so-called "high-resolution" embosser graphics. Even thermal paper cannot match Tiger's patented 3-D graphics.
