Larger font size, larger future possibilities
In large print, we increase the font size from original books and documents. The new adapted format may vary depending on the specific needs of the user. This product is suited for the visually impaired people or for those with learning disabilities. Several strategies are used to make reading more comfortable.
The font size varies between 16 and 28 points. The standard is 18 points, but it may differ depending on the original size, enlargement strategy and the desired layout.
Upon receipt of the material, Braille Jymico performs several enlargement simulations in order to choose the best method, according to the requirements of the user.
Three Production Contexts Influence Quality
For the highest quality, the best production context is when we have access to the original document in digital format. In this ideal case, the text is selectable and the images are of good quality. Everything will be better transposed, without text degradation when printed.
The second (most common) production context is when we get the hard copy of the original document. In this case, we scan the book and the cover and we improve the document with specialized software.
Finally, if the digital document or the hard copy is not available, specific procedures will be applied for the text recognition, for the correction, the layout and the integration of images as needed.
Our Enlargement Strategies
Ratio 1:1
- Enlargement on a page in portrait or landscape format
- Font size: 18 pt
This solution is the most economical, but the desired font size (18 points) may be difficult to get. It all depends on the size of the original text and on its format. The final dimension of the enlarged book can be up to 13 X 19 inches.
Ratio 1:2
- Enlargement on two pages in landscape format
- Font size: 18 pt
This option preserves the standard book and offers a larger print experience that is more satisfying than the 1:1 ratio. An original page in portrait format is distributed from top to bottom on two pages in landscape format.
This option is more expensive because it requires the strategic distribution of contents by a technician in order to obtain a logical sequence, without repetition, in the central area of the book.
Advantage of the product: transportability, the binding allows the flat opening
Custom ratio
- Enlargement on several pages in landscape or portrait format
- Font size: between 16 and 28 pt
Several options are possible with this strategy, according to the needs of the user: font choice, contrast between text and background, color choice, redesign of the layout, replacement text and description for the images and graphic elements, binding types, etc. This option is more expensive than the 1:1 ratio.
