What equipment do I use to make braille?

A popular way to create ADA-compliant signage is with a rotary engraver, like a Vision Rotary Engraver. There are also certain UV-LED printers that can legally print braille.

What makes a sign ADA compliant aside from braille?

In addition to braille, an ADA-compliant sign must follow several other federal guidelines to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities. Example requirements include tactile characters made with applique, specific font styles and sizes, contrast, non-glare material, and more.
