Tactile Graphics Kit: Roller Tool

by American Printing House for the Blind

$8.35

Professional guidance helps The roller itself requires no setup, but producing usable tactile graphics requires a Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) or trained specialist who understands tactile design principles. This is a replacement part for a professional tool, so professional_recommended reflects the broader context of its use.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026

This is a replacement roller tool for APH's Tactile Graphics Kit — a small handheld brayer-style roller used to press tactile film or embossed materials flat against a backing surface when creating raised-line graphics. It's meant for teachers, vision specialists, or braille literacy instructors who produce tactile graphics for students who are blind or have low vision. This is a consumable replacement part, not a standalone product — it only makes sense if you already own or are rebuilding the APH Tactile Graphics Kit (catalog number 1-08851-00). The roller is inexpensive and Federal Quota eligible, so TVIs can order it through quota funds without cost to the student.
