ironplanet uk900 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Do any of you do Braille signs? We do and we have made some good money from it. It's well worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I do do, signs etc. for gravoply signs I charge 30p per square inch (25mm) for the blank then 30p per didget / character. So your sign at ruffly 80 didgets and roughly 8 x 5 ? Guessing from the plate stand. would be £36.00 Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Do you charge extra for the Braille beads? I charged £60 for the sign above. It was 12" x 8" GLENGRAVING 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Ive never actually been asked for brail but your price sounds about right to me. it never crossed my mind about the fact that brail is raised, where/how did you do/get the beads Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 You can purchase the braille gun and beads from gravograph.. But shop around, they are expensive. Not sure if any one else does em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 They are more for the visually impared... But there are rules about the hight and position of them. Also there should be a marker on the notice, so the person knows were to start reading from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Never seen this done but one thought crossed my inquisitive mind!!! They (the blind people) have to feel the sign to know what it says! OK with that but,...................................................... how do they know where the bloody sign is? Surely they dont go feeling all over the walls of each building. Is this just political correctness or are they actually used?
