Using present-day information technology and modern line printers, the Braille edition of a document can be made at the same time as the inkprint edition and the cost for this service can be kept under control. The subscribers pay the same price and get their morning newspaper in the mailbox at the same time as their sighted neighbour. In the Netherlands, the Braille printing houses of Amsterdam, Ermelo, the Hague and Nijmegen all use line printers. The presses they used before have been set aside. New applications for Braille production are emerging.
Braille libraries no longer stock and handle books.
Rather they print books on demand.
