Verbatim to Resell Brand Barrier Free Braille CD-R

Mitsubishi Kagaku Media Co., Ltd. launched Verbatim brand barrier-free CD-R that
surface Braille can be read with tactile impression at the end of July.

By printing protruding Braille dots on the surface of a disc, not only can its
specifications be read but its front and reverse sides can be identified.

Although Mitsubishi Kagaku Media had been
selling Mitsubishi brand Braille CD-R since 2007, once it stopped serving it in
February this year. After that in response to requests from various quarters it
decided to resell a new face Braille CD-R.

Navy-blue ground and white
braille dots preserved from that of the previous Braille CD-R helps users
discern the disc specifications including capacity by not only seen but also
touched. Braille dots are printed using multiple layers of high viscosity ink
developed by the company.

The improvement of the height of braille dots and
printing method made the new disc easier for read compared to the previous
disc. The combination artifice for the height of braille dots and slipperiness
for the disc surface achieved tactile discrimination.

Optical recording discs such as CDs, DVDs,
and BDs have difficulty to identify their specifications because their shape is
identical although they have multiple specifications each such as recordable
and rewritable.
