Justin,
You may want to contact the company that makes the Dymo-Tape printers.

I did when I looked a couple years ago....and the people I got there, either didn't understand what meant... or didn't want to.
Do you think this idea of doing braile would be ADA compliant?

At Tapecom we used to get that type of label from Lighthouse for the blind. we used them in quantities from 25-2500 at a time. They had to be done on an automatic machine.
(P.S. Do not take that type of tape, affix it to a cassette, apply shrinkwrap, then shrink the wrap. After the shrink process, you have flat tape again. [Now how would I know that?]

I have one that we use to make plates for a blind bowling tournament. It was sold by Scott for their manual pantagraph about 15 years ago. The main problem that we had with it, was that the letter wheel would get out of sync with the embossing wheel. We would take the gun with us to the tournament and do a test strip which one of the participants would read and confirm that it was in sync. The gun allowed us to emboss the braille lettering on the trophies at the event.
We also used it to mark the top front of the door key cards for the hotel that the participants were staying at.
