[Athen] [EXT]Re: braille embosser

[Robert Beach]

I did hear a lot of bad press on the Trident. I have the Juliet Pro, around 20 years old now. It still works but is starting to have a couple of issues. I've also heard that the new Juliets are not any thing like the old work horses.

Have you worked with the Index Basics? I tested an Index Everest back in the mid 90's and was not impressed with it. One of my colleagues at another institution is using the Index Basic DV5 and seems to be very happy with it.

Thanks.

They have a new Juliet, the 120, that replaced the terrible Trident they came out with.  That one is about $5000. They are sold by Humanware, here's a link to it:

I'm still using my Juliet Pro 60 and after the awful experience I had with the Trident, I'm not willing to give up my Juliet.  She still works!

I forgot to say it must do interpoint as well.

Subject: [Athen] braille embosser

Hello all,

My dean just dropped a bomb on me. He wants me to go forward with replacing our Juliet Pro embosser, which is good. However, he needs to information to put in the new budget by end of day today, which is not good.

I'm wanting an embosser that will handle various sizes of paper, provides good quality braille, and will do graphics. Suggestions please?

Thanks.
