Braille Printers with UV – Print Tactile Signage

Creating accessible signage doesn't need to be complex or costly. With the right UV printer, you can produce durable, regulation-compliant braille signage using a digital process that is efficient, scalable, and highly accurate. At Pozitive, we offer Mutoh UV printers that make braille printing straightforward, allowing signmakers, schools, councils, and public organisations to meet accessibility standards without the need for a dedicated braille embosser.

Why Use a UV Printer for Braille?

Unlike traditional braille embossing machines, UV printers like the Mutoh XpertJet range use layered ink to build up raised tactile elements directly onto the surface of your material. This lets you:

Print Grade 2 Braille that meets Australian and international signage standards
Add tactile text, graphics, and braille in a single print job
Work with various materials including acrylic, aluminium, corflute, and more
Easily customise or repeat jobs with minimal setup time

The result is high-contrast, tactile signage with a crisp, matte finish, ideal for accessibility compliance.

Mutoh UV Printers That Support Braille

Pozitive offers several Mutoh printers that are suitable for braille and raised printing applications:

Mutoh XpertJet 661UF
A compact A2 benchtop UV printer ideal for room signs, braille plaques, and small-scale tactile applications.
Mutoh XpertJet 461UF
A slightly smaller A3+ format benchtop printer designed for space-limited environments with no compromise on quality.
Mutoh XpertJet 1462UF
A full-sized UV flatbed printer for larger signage, high-volume production, and advanced tactile applications.

Each of these machines supports multi-layer printing with precise ink control. They are capable of producing braille dot heights between 0.6 mm and 0.9 mm, which aligns with ADA and DDA guidelines for tactile signage.

How to Print Braille Using UV

Printing braille with a Mutoh UV printer is a simple process that integrates into your existing print workflow:

Create your design with tactile text and braille using standard graphic software.
Assign print layers in the RIP software to designate base colours, raised text, and braille dots.
Use the printer’s multi-layer function to build the correct height for each element.
Print directly to your chosen substrate.

There is no need for embossing tools or manual braille insertion. The result is consistent, clean, and compliant signage, printed in-house.

Meeting Accessibility Standards

Mutoh UV printers can produce signage that meets key tactile and braille requirements, including:

Grade 2 Braille with proper dot spacing and height
Raised characters and pictograms
Matte, non-glare finishes
High contrast between text and background
Correct placement of braille beneath text blocks

This makes them an ideal solution for creating signage that aligns with Australian building codes and disability access guidelines.
