The Swell Form Pro machine has transformed the creation of high-quality tactile graphics by delivering production-level speeds. Designed for customers who produce large volumes of tactile graphics, the Swell Form Pro dramatically increases output while maintaining quality. Operating at speeds up to 35 pages per minute — up to seven times faster than the standard Swell Form — the Pro eliminates the bottlenecks often associated with heavy tactile graphic production.

Description

How does it work?
The Swell Form Pro uses specially formulated Swell Touch paper that reacts to black ink and heat. Once your image is on the Swell Touch paper (also called swell paper, capsule paper, microcapsule paper, or flexi paper), run it through the Swell Form Pro machine. The heat reacts only with the black ink, causing it to “swell” or puff up, creating a tactile image. All other areas, including colored sections, remain flat. Instead of printing or copying, users can also draw directly onto the paper with the Swell Touch marker — the process works the same way: the black ink swells when exposed to heat. Free pre-made tactile diagrams can be downloaded at tactilelibrary.com.

Superior tactile graphics, faster than ever
Turn on the Swell Form Pro, set your desired speed, and the machine is ready to process your tactile graphics immediately. Print, copy, or draw your graphics onto Swell Touch paper and place it on the conveyor belt with the image facing up. The machine can handle up to two sheets at a time, with additional sheets fed manually one after the other. The conveyor moves the sheets under the heating system and deposits them into the collection tray. Completed graphics are ready to touch just seconds after processing.

The black elements of the graphics swell, while colors remain flat. You can experiment with colors, textures, and patterns to create striking tactile graphics.

Designed for braille production facilities and publishers
The Swell Form Pro is built for users who need high-quality Swell Touch tactile graphics at speed. Adjustable speed control prevents overheating, heavy-duty fans keep the machine cool, and finished sheets can be handled immediately. Auto shut-off features prevent jams and ensure the paper feeds correctly, making it reliable for continuous production.
