Larger font size, greater opportunities
Large print consists in increasing the font size of the original book or document. The enlarged document may be tailored to the user’s specific needs. This product is suitable for people with vision impairments and learning disabilities. Multiple strategies can be applied to make reading more comfortable.
Font size can range from 16 to 28 points. The standard size is 18 points, but may require adjusting on account of the original font size, enlargement strategy and desired layout.
Upon reception of the document, Braille Jymico performs several enlargement simulations to choose the method that will best meet the user’s requirements.
Quality will depend on three production Contexts
For superior quality, the best production context is when we have access to the original document in digital format. In this case, the text is selectable and images are of higher quality. Everything will be better transposed without any text degradation in the printed document.
The second and most common production context is when we have access to a hard copy of the original document. In this case, we scan the document and enhance it using specialized software.
If the original document is not available in a digital format or as a hard copy, in this case we will carry out the required text recognition, correction, redesign and image insertion procedures.
OUR LARGE PRINT STRATEGIES
1:1 Ratio
- Enlargement on one page in portrait or landscape format
- Font size: 18 pt
This strategy is the most inexpensive, but the desired font size (18 points) may be difficult to achieve. It will depend on the size of the original text and the page orientation. The final size of the enlarged document may measure up to 13 X 19 inches.
1:2 Ratio
- Enlargement on two pages in landscape format
- Font size: 18 pt
This strategy offers a larger print experience that is more satisfying than the 1:1 ratio strategy and retains the book’s original form. An original page in portrait format is therefore distributed from top to bottom on two pages in landscape format.
Benefits of this product: It is Easy to carry and can lay flat on surface when opened.
Custom ratio
- Enlargement on multiple pages in landscape or portrait format
- Font size: 16 to 28 pt
This strategy offers a mix of options depending on the user’s needs: choice of font, text and background contrast, color, redesigned layout, replacement text, image and graphic descriptions, binding, etc. This option is costlier than the 1:1 ratio.
