Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions A family member, teacher, or aide can usually set this up by following the manufacturer's instructions and training videos. It is a complete standalone embosser, but you still need to load paper, connect it to a computer, and learn the software. That makes it more than open-and-use, though it does not need a clinical assessment.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The PageBlaster is a braille embosser, a printer that punches raised braille dots into paper instead of printing ink. It feeds continuous fanfold paper, so you can run longer documents without loading single sheets. It comes with TactileView drawing software for making tactile graphics. This is a good fit for a classroom or home where someone needs braille copies of documents.
