Here's a close up example of
Raster™ Braille. The braille beads in the sign are clear allowing them to take on the color of the background of the signage minimizing the visual impact of the design but meeting all of the ADA's requirements in a braille sign.
Here's a close up example of engraved braille sign. Engraving the braille gives a harsher visual impact and is most times not acceptable but we can produce signs that meet the ADA's requirements for braille signs with either Raster™ Braille or engraved braille.
