It is only about a year ago that a lifestyle magazine in English is becoming available to them.
White Print, a new monthly out in May, has sections on food, travel, gadgetry, even politics—everything that sighted people take for granted in the multiple publications that serve them. Where other periodicals have book reviews, this one reviews audio books instead.
The magazine is printed at National Association for the Blind’s Braille Press. It has two conventional presses – Krause Automatic Press and Platon hand-operated Press; one computerised Braille Plate Embossing Machine – Puma VI and Computerized Embossers – Braillo 400 – S and Index 4 Waves Pro. It is one of the largest Braille production units in India.
Apart from this lifestyle magazine, the Braille Press prints textbooks of all subjects – including Math and Science – for English and Marathi medium students of Class I to XII in Maharashtra.
