This is a hard one to answer, as preferences in embossers vary from one person to the next. I like the embossers from Enabling Technologies, like Juliet; for a blind operator they have talking menus and are easy to learn to use. Now that I have stuck out my neck, you will hear from fans of all manner of machines. One thing in Enabling's favor is their very friendly tech support. I also make use of a Braille Blazer, from Freedom Scientific, for running small documents for my own use and for doing book labels; it's inexpensive and easily configured; some folks think "inexpensive" equals cheap, but I haven't had any trouble with the thing since we got it last winter. Just my two cents, but Juliet and Blazer would get my vote.

I sent in my old Versa Point (10 years old) to update to the Duo. I just tried my third machine and even with Tech support I cannot get one to work. Is there a better machine out there? The first one I had my salesman set up. The sensor wasn't working properly, the second one worked for 2 hours and jammed twice then went dead. The third one is used and I bought new but it doesn't work either. I even called the Tech support to run through the set up and install with me. Nothing. What is easy to run and is a little more stress free? I can't even get to my new Good Feel or Graph-It to try them. I am an aide for one blind student in the 9th grade and am using the Brailler to get his work out. HELP!
