The Tiger Embosser by ViewPlus Technologies, Inc. has the ability to vary the dot height on its tactile graphic output from .001 to .021 inches. Additionally, the dot density can be varied from 20 dots per inch (dpi) to 300 dpi. Finally, lines of dots can be brought to within .003 inches of each other making it possible to construct broader lines. The net result of this approach to tactile graphics is to allow the graphic artist to use foreground-background and height differentiations to create fine tactile graphics with true 3-dimensional qualities.
