Mutoh’s multi-layer UV-LED printer, printing braille and other tactile printing

Official Mutoh partners, Data Direct, has announced it is helping to bring direct braille and tactile printing to the UK market.

With accessibility requirements ramping up across public spaces, traditional braille production has meant slow, manual, and expensive methods like embossing or adhesive dot application. Mutoh’s approach is a completely different story.

Using precise multi-layer UV-LED printing, Mutoh devices build raised dots and tactile structures directly onto the substrate.

Each ink layer is applied and cured automatically until the defined height is reached — typically 0.3 to 0.6 mm for braille and up to 1.0 mm for tactile graphics.

Mutoh’s braille solution allows for a completely digital workflow, accurate dot placement with translation software and Vertelith RIP, UV curing and it compatible with a wide range of materials.
