When it comes to Braille embossers, the VersaPoint Duo makes a great impression! It is the only Braille embosser to combine renowned reliability with high speed, two-sided printing and reduced noise levels. The unequaled VersaPoint Duo from Blazie Engineering will shift your productivity into high gear.

Built-in speech makes the Duo convenient and more fun to use. Customize the voice to your liking, and then use it to set (or Review) embossing configurations quickly and accurately. VersaPoint Duo will read text files directly from your computer, and play WAV files, too.

The VersaPoint Duo’s crisp, consistent dot quality, and low-maintenance dependability result in highly readable, beautifully embossed documents. Its speech capabilities let you easily set configurations and check settings.

Save time and paper with two-sided embossing

Blazie Engineering’s VersaPoint Duo doubles the data contained on each sheet of paper by producing sharp Braille characters on both sides. You’ll reduce paper usage without any tradeoff in quality! The VersaPoint Duo accepts paper in weights ranging from 20 lb. To 100 lb.

The Duo is preset to produce interpoint Braille on tractor-fed paper. Your may also choose the single-sheet, friction-feed option for easy, one-sided embossing on letterhead or personal stationery.

Produce Brailled documents quickly and efficiently

The speedy VersaPoint Duo prints 6- or 8-dot Braille and tactile graphics at 60 characters per second, in interpoint mode, across its 40-character line length. Switch to single-side embossing mode at the touch of a button without any configuration changes!

Let the durability and versatility of the Duo work to your advantage. It is perfectly suited to the regular use that occurs in schools, offices, and other settings that require the production of Brailled documents for several individuals.
