Braille Printers
Fluid Color Braille Monster Series
Produce ADA and Braille signage faster with a production platform engineered specifically for tactile printing.
The Fluid Color Braille Monster Series is designed for sign manufacturers that need speed, repeatability, and a more efficient ADA production workflow. Available in RF53, RF84, and RF105 configurations, the Braille Monster combines Ricoh Gen6 printheads, a unique Braille jetplate configuration, and ImagePrint RIP software with Pedestal AI.
Built for High-Volume ADA & Braille Production
Traditional ADA and Braille production can be slow and labor-intensive. The Braille Monster Series is engineered to reduce those bottlenecks with a specialized print configuration designed specifically for tactile printing.
The result is faster production, more consistent output, and the ability to gang multiple ADA signs across an entire sheet instead of producing them one at a time.
A Full 4′ x 8′ Braille Sheet in 32 Minutes
The RF84 and RF105 Braille Monster models can produce a full 4′ x 8′ sheet of ADA and Braille signage in approximately 32 minutes.
That speed helps high-volume ADA manufacturers increase throughput, reduce production time, and handle larger sign programs without adding additional manual production steps.
Unique Braille Jetplate Configuration
The Braille Monster is not simply a standard UV flatbed being used for ADA production. Its specialized jetplate configuration is designed to accelerate Braille dot and tactile-element buildup while maintaining repeatability across large sheets.
Faster Tactile Build
Specialized architecture reduces the time required to build raised Braille and tactile elements.
Full-Sheet Productivity
Gang multiple ADA signs across an entire sheet and produce them in one production run.
Consistent Output
Industrial UV printing technology supports repeatable tactile output from job to job.
ImagePrint RIP with Pedestal AI
Braille production speed starts before the file reaches the printer. ImagePrint RIP software with Pedestal AI helps simplify ADA and Braille file preparation so operators can move jobs from design to production faster.
Faster File Preparation
Reduce time spent preparing ADA and Braille production files.
Easier ADA Creation
Simplify the creation of tactile and Braille sign layouts.
Integrated Workflow
Connect file preparation and high-speed printing into one efficient production workflow.
