LI> appreciate your advice or anyone else's on where to obtain
LI> braille paper for my printer at a good price. And, preferably,
LI> prepunched. I have the VersaPoint 40. I have heard that this
LI> printer can use standard printer paper. I doubt it, but do you
LI> know if any braille embosser can use regular printer paper?
Linda, I also have a Versapoint. I use regular paper for things
that I know I won't keep, but you have to be careful to load the paper
just so or it will jam.
I've heard that American Thermoform has a thinner type of braille
paper available which is comparable to the price of printer paper.
However, I've never bothered to track them down, so I don't have their
address. Sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe someone around here
has their address.

As far as the Braille printer that will use regular paper. I have
used 20 pound typing paper weight continuous form in my Versa Point
BP1B with much success, and it is a lot cheaper way to get a
printout of something that you aren't going to be doing a lot of
heavy reading of, etc.
The Braille Blazer from Blazie Engineering is also very good
Braille with regular computer printer paper.
As far as Braille paper you may want to check out a company named
Metrolina. I have baught a lot of Braille paper from them in both
the narrow and wide widths. Their paper quality is very good, and
their prices aren't to bad.
