Working on the <strong>Braille</strong> Road for Over Thirty-Eight Years<br />
Tony Schenk<br />
President<br />
Thank you for considering <strong>Enabling</strong> Technologies for your<br />
<strong>Braille</strong> production needs. Whether you want to emboss the<br />
occasional letter or 10,000 copies <strong>of</strong> a magazine, we have just<br />
the right model for the job.<br />
In addition to our traditional paper embossers, we also<br />
manufacture a commercial <strong>Braille</strong> plate making machine, a<br />
special <strong>Braille</strong> sign making machine and products for <strong>Braille</strong><br />
labeling. With over fifteen models, we <strong>of</strong>fer the broadest selection<br />
<strong>of</strong> products available from any manufacturer.<br />
We have been making <strong>Braille</strong> production equipment since<br />
1971, when we introduced the world’s first commercially<br />
available <strong>Braille</strong> embosser. Some <strong>of</strong> today’s employees have been<br />
with us for over twenty years, and our average employee has been<br />
with us for eight. <strong>Enabling</strong> Technologies’ equipment is part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
production <strong>of</strong> every <strong>Braille</strong> book from the United States Library<br />
<strong>of</strong> Congress. We’re proud <strong>of</strong> our long track record making the<br />
highest quality <strong>Braille</strong> production equipment available anywhere<br />
in the world.<br />
When you’re shopping for a <strong>Braille</strong> embosser for the first<br />
time, the choices may seem complex, but our advice couldn’t be<br />
simpler: Ask for samples made by the machine you are interested<br />
in buying. Then show them to a tactile <strong>Braille</strong> reader – and listen<br />
carefully to their comments. That’s how confident we are in the<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Braille</strong>.<br />

Before we developed the PED-30<br />
around 1980, the world’s <strong>Braille</strong> printing<br />
houses produced plates for <strong>Braille</strong> presses<br />
literally by hand. One error, and the<br />
whole plate had to be redone. The PED-30<br />
revolutionized volume <strong>Braille</strong> production<br />
by making it possible to make zinc master<br />
plates from computers. Plates from the<br />
PED-30 go onto a specially modified<br />
commercial printing press, which stamps<br />
the dots into the paper. Today, plates<br />
from the PED-30 regularly produce<br />
millions <strong>of</strong> pages <strong>of</strong> <strong>Braille</strong> world-wide,<br />
including every sheet <strong>of</strong> <strong>Braille</strong> produced<br />
for the US Library <strong>of</strong> Congress’ huge stock<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Braille</strong> books and periodicals.<br />
