Printing and Embossing Instructions
This ZIP file contains files for printing tactile graphics. Several different files, both PRN and PDF, are included, each compatible with specific production methods. The PDF (Swell) is optimized for Swell-Touch Paper (often referred to as swell paper, capsule paper, microcapsule paper). PRN files are optimized for ViewPlus embossers. Tactile graphics are formatted for 11 x 11.5-inch paper. Those denoted "UK" are formatted for A3 (11.7" x 16.5").

[Swift-Playgrounds_LearnToCode1_Max.prn] is a PRN for printing on ViewPlus Max.
