Have you ever asked yourself how it would feel to touch music with your fingers?

It is possible to print every kind of music sheets in tactile form using wax ink. The printouts can be read directly by blind or visually impaired people. This kind of reading is an advantage for blind musicians, singers or anybody who is keen on music.

We offer to print music sheet on your request and to send them to you. For further information regarding the formalities please click on the link "What we can offer" in the navigation menu above. Our 2.5 times enlarged music sheets were read successfully by blind people.

picture_difference

This picture shows the difference between ordinary - usually aqueous - ink (on the left half) and wax ink (on the right half):
Normal ink is absorbed by the paper and the paper surface is taktile after printing.
Wax ink doesn't penetrate into the paper and forms a sublime contour. This arched contour is perceptible with the fingertips.
