Hi,
I was thinking of getting a viewPlus emBraille in a few months, just for
personal use. Do those embossers work well? I was planning to use it to print
out readings for church, and the occasional website article or tactile graphics
or the occasional excel chart.

Hi,
We received our Braille Box V5 a little more than two years ago. The Index
technician has been by us about a dozen times for hammer issues. They've
replaced the entire unit twice because they couldn't fix it by us. It's been a
nightmare beyond any imagination. With that said, the latest unit has been
performing well now for about 6 months. There have been some ribbon issues
which we were able to fix ourselves with the help of tech support. Not sure if
that's an option for most people. We emboss about 1000-1500 11x17 pages a week
and we have not experienced any sheet feeding issues.
There is no question that Index has or is close to getting this machine right.
We have this embosser in our main office and the noise level is low. If you
have any more questions, feel free to email me directly at nachum@xxxxxxxxxxx.

Has anyone had any experience with the Index Braille Box V5 embosser? A
competitor told me that the hammers and solenoids frequently overheat causing
need for repairs and the sheet feed isn’t very reliable. That’s from a
competitor, so I want to verify that claim.
Also wondering about experience with the Irie-AT BrailleTrac 120 and/or
BrailleSheet 120.
If you are working with any of these embossers I’d love to hear about your
experience with them.
