Reliefs / Tactile Images

When it is necessary to convey graphic information to a blind person, tactile images, or reliefs, are the solution. CEFAS has extensive experience in producing reliefs, having carried out work for exhibitions, museums and schools. There are two printing techniques available:

> Tactile images on normal Braille paper, This technique uses the Emprint haptic printer and has the lowest cost per copy.
> Tactile images on microcapsulated paper, a special paper that produces excellent quality and very durable images. The cost per copy is slightly higher.

Both techniques allow you to combine embossed, Braille and ink (color) images on the same page.

Please send us your request to info@sertec.pt to get a quote. Usually, original ink images need to be transformed to make them legible and tactile. The cost of the service is greatly influenced by the amount of work required at this stage.
