What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
TactPlus Printer Paper is a specialized thermal or swell paper designed to work with the TactPlus tactile graphics printer, producing raised-line images and tactile diagrams for people who are blind or have low vision. It's the consumable supply component of the TactPlus printing system — the paper itself does nothing without the compatible printer hardware. Users who are blind or deafblind rely on tactile graphics for reading maps, charts, diagrams, and educational materials that can't be conveyed through braille text alone. The TactPlus line has been discontinued by APH; if you're building or maintaining a tactile graphics workflow, APH now recommends their PixBlaster system, and ongoing TactPlus support has moved to Ability2Access.
