Greetings. I want to thank you all again for helping me with my printing/braille greeting card venture. Special thank you to fotofreek for printing and sending samples - that goes above and beyond the normal realm. Conclusions, so far, are thus: Choice of paper is Ilford Smooth Heavyweight Matte (2-sided) Paper, Epson two-sided matte photo paper, or something comparable. I would like to find something a bit heavier, but the coated paper makes brilliant images. With proper settings recommended from paper manufacturers, all three of the Epson, HP, and Canon printers do a good job. I am tending towards Canon. BUT, the revisited dilemma is; if printing on the two-sided coated matte "good" paper, the braille "breaks" through the color too much after embossing over the printed area. So I tried embossing first, then sent the embossed sheet through the printer. The image turned out beautiful - it covered the dots and actually improved how they looked. Problem solved, except that there was some braille text on white parts of the page, and when the printhead traveled over those dots it "stubbed it's toes" and left black specks on the very tips of some of the dots. While dealing with this new problem, I discovered that the Canon i550 that I was testing at a co-workers desk had a printhead that could be manually adjusted to a higher position, by use of a lever on top of the print cartridges, to accommodate thicker stock. This was perfect! And it worked beautifully. But, the drawback is, the new ip-series Canon's (4000, 5000, etc.) do not have this adjustable printhead, nor do the tech's at Canon think the new ip series printers will work on the embossed stock. They did not know of any other Canon product that has the adjustable printhead. So I am considering purchasing an older i850, i950, or i960 - or maybe even simply use the i550 that is already in place. Ok - so my question is, does anybody know if there are any other (newer) printers out there, Epson, HP, or?, that have a manual printhead adjustment similar to Canon's i-series? Simply setting the printer setting to "envelope" or "iron-on transfers" will not work because I want to use the best print setting for the paper I'm using. It's just one thing or another. Thanks to all with patience to read these long messages. Brailling in Oregon
