FanFold+ V5 – Tractor-fed Braille Embosser

FanFold+ V5 – Tractor-fed Braille Embosser brings high-volume Braille production within reach

When accessible information needs to keep moving

For organizations producing Braille materials, accessibility is about more than having the right information. It is about making that information available in a form people can read independently — consistently, efficiently, and without unnecessary delays.

When Braille production involves large quantities of documents, manuals, educational materials, or other accessible content, a conventional printer may not be designed for the volume or workflow required. The result can be more operator involvement, longer production times, and interruptions that make it harder to keep up with demand.

Built for high-volume Braille production

The FanFold+ V5 – Tractor-fed Braille Embosser is designed for organizations that need dependable Braille production at scale. Its continuous tractor-fed paper system and production speed of up to 1,200 pages per hour are designed to keep large print jobs moving with minimal operator intervention. The embosser can produce up to 450 CPS and operates at 63 dB(A).

The embosser uses five embossing heads with 13 hammers and supports both 6- and 8-dot Braille. It can also produce tactile graphics at resolutions up to 20 DPI, helping organizations create more than text-only Braille documents.

Designed to simplify the production process

The FanFold+ V5 includes an integrated direct Braille translator that allows users to emboss directly from text files. It supports more than 150 languages as well as uncontracted and contracted Braille, including UEB. An embedded web interface provides access to embossing settings, Braille layout, page numbering, and other production options.

For schools, government agencies, Braille producers, and other organizations responsible for making information accessible, the goal is simple: spend less time managing the mechanics of production and more time making sure people have access to the information they need.

How Will FanFold+ V5 – Tractor-fed Braille Embosser Change Your Life?

The FanFold+ V5 – Tractor-fed Braille Embosser is designed to change what is possible when an organization needs to produce Braille regularly and at high volume. Instead of treating every large Braille job as a time-consuming production challenge, its tractor-fed continuous paper system allows long jobs to move through the embosser with minimal operator intervention.

Its high production speed, integrated Braille translation, embedded web interface, and ability to produce both Braille and tactile graphics bring multiple parts of the production process together. The acoustic enclosure helps keep operating noise to 63 dB(A), while the embedded interface provides control over layouts and embossing settings.

The real difference is what that efficiency can make possible: more accessible materials produced in-house, fewer production bottlenecks, and greater confidence that Braille information can be available when people need it.
