[Athen] braille embosser

[Dan Comden]

I don't believe there is yet a good embosser that does both excellent
interpoint braille text as well as decent graphics.

We still have an old Juliet Pro 60 that is loved nearly as much as Susan
loves hers. It serves as a backup to our Juliet 120 that's been mostly
reliable but not nearly the build quality of the old one. For graphics we
use a Tiger from ViewPlus. We don't use any of the swell paper options for
graphics due to the poor quality braille they create.

I think if you need both text and graphics and you're doing production
in-house at a large university with regular cycles of braille users, that
two output devices are needed.

Your dean didn't give you adequate time -- a day is not enough time to
source the information needed for such an important purchase. But they
should be happy with some ballpark costs hopefully!
