The patent for this process is expected to issue in the coming months, marking another milestone for this innovative company.

Rocky Hill, CT USA – Direct Color Systems® (“Direct Color LLC”) has received a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent  Application No. 14/780,346 entitled “ADA-Compliant Braille Signage Printer and Method of Printing UV LED Curable Ink Using a Flat Bed Ink Jet Printer.”  The Notice indicates that all of the pending claims in the patent application are allowable, directed to various aspects of Direct Color Systems’ printer and process for producing ADA-compliant Braille signs efficiently with a high degree of control over dot height and dot accuracy.  Issuance of the patent is expected in the coming months.

“The ability to digitally print ADA-compliant Braille signage has been one of the more popular applications for our UV LED printers over the past few years. From architectural signage companies and non-profit organizations to educational institutions and sign shops, the variety of those purchasing equipment for this application continues to grow,” says Blair Allen, President of Direct Color Systems. “This Notice of Allowance is another step towards receiving our patent for this process, something the entire team at DCS has worked diligently to achieve.”

Standard 6" x 8" signs can be output in less than 4 minutes, with a full digitally printed background, raised letters and Braille dots.
