John, I just received word from the editor of the algebra text that they can
only provide PDF or Quark files. Which would work better with Tiger?

Subject: Tiger now embosses variable height dots
March 18, 2002
For immediate release
Tiger Embosser - the first 3-D Windows Embosser
Corvallis, Oregon, (March 18, 2002) - ViewPlus Technologies, Inc. announces
the availability of the world's first 3 dimensional Windows embosser. The
Tiger Embosser now embosses using Variable-Height Punching, giving the user
vast flexibility combining multi-color graphics with braille for use in
tactile documents.
Materials for the Tiger Embosser are created just as they would be for a
Windows ink printer. Scan, draw or import graphics (regardless of format)
with any Windows application and emboss in tremendous detail on the Tiger.
Documents that contain text can be translated directly from Windows. The
Tiger embosses braille and graphics together beautifully and easily - and
now with Tiger 3-D, graphics are better than ever.
This revolutionary addition to Tiger embossers interprets the color spectrum
as varying punch depths. The darker a color, the deeper Tiger punches.
This added flexibility allows Tiger users to communicate even more
information than before - with no learning curve and using their existing
software. No longer must people have limited access to information that
contains multi-color graphics just because they aren't sighted. There are
no new skills or software to learn with the Tiger Embosser. Any application
that can print to a Windows ink printer will print to the Tiger. With the
Tiger's new ability to emboss variable-height dots, the graphics they create
are even more crisp and detailed than before.
The new 3-D feature for the Tiger Embosser comes at no additional cost. All
new Tiger Embossers are now deployed with 3-D Technology. Upgrades for
previous generations of Tiger Embossers are available through View Plus
Technologies.
The new 3-D Tiger Embosser can be seen at the CSUN Conference and
Exhibition, March 18-23, 2002 (booth 214/215), as well as future venues.
