$4,495.00

For single sheet cut paper

Using single sheet cut paper is an easy and effective system for Braille production. With Everest the printed documents are ready for binding immediately after printing. Everest can be used in an efficient way with any paper similar to that used in other single sheet feeding systems. There is no need for hand separation, special cutting equipment for the paper, or even any special paper thus making it a useful alternative to continuous paper systems.

Everest dot quality is one of the best on the market. It has equally formed dots that will last for a long time even if thin "copy paper' is used, and the design reduces the risk of holes or cracked dots. A cracked dot will have a limited life time. Using thinner paper is an important step in reducing costs and saving the global environment.

The noise level of Everest is lower than that of most Braille printers on the market. Using Everest together with the optional Everest Acoustic Hood reduces the noise to a level below what is normally is acceptable in offices.

The optimised professional design makes maintenance accessible and easy all around the world.
