Photographic/Chemical
Equipment and Supplies Needed
Engraving machine, cutters, Raster™
Braille kit
Darkroom or imagesetter, processing machine,
water supply, painting operation, screenprinting or hot-stamping
operation
ADA and ANSI Compliance
Fully
compliant with all laws and standards. Spherical Raster™
produces rounded Braille.
Difficult
to comply with standards for Braille, especially cross-section
thickness. Very difficult to produce rounded Braille dots.
Service and Replacement
Fast, simple setup and standard colors, easy
to replace or update signs.
Paint/ink match can be a problem. Short runs
nearly as costly as long runs.
Durability and Vandal Resistance
Excellent durability, outdoor grade material
available. Inlaid letters and graphics offer excellent tamper-resistance.
Painted surface is not as durable as solid
color material. Exterior material available, but still susceptible
to moisture. Not "1-piece" construction as claimed.
