The P.I.A.F (Pictures in a flash) tactile graphics maker provides an important element in information delivery for all ages! From developing simple concepts about graphics with young children to providing complex information on the environment to blind and vision-impaired adults, the P.I.A.F tactile image-maker provides a versatile and reliable solution.

The P.I.A.F produces high quality tactile graphics by using heat sensitive capsule paper. The raised images are easy to produce and ideal for communicating graphics and Braille to blind people. P.I.A.F provides quick and easy access to geography, mathematics, orientation and mobility training, all science subjects and more. 

Young children can create drawings and see the results in seconds; chessboards can be made for home usage, and office layouts and organization to new employees. 

Light, and easy to carry, the P.I.A.F. tactile image maker has the following safety features:

Paper sensing: This products senses when capsule paper enters the machine, and when it exits. If the paper does not appear at the exit side within 6 seconds, the power to the heating element is turned off but the cooling fan left on.

Overheating protection: If for any reason the unit becomes too hot then shutdown occurs automatically! This is a back up to the paper sensing to ensure fail-safe operation.
