Our Services: Large Print

As the name suggests, the text of the document is bigger than the conventional 10/12 point texts published for the consumers with no evidence of sight loss.

Large print can be re-designed from 14 to 18 point and over depending on the degree of visual impairment.

The way one lays out the text of a large print document is equally as important as the overall font size. We here at Braille Transcription UK take great care when preparing our large print documents – and design and treat each new job differently in keeping with the client’s visual requirements.

Production Method

The following is far from definitive, but is included here as an example of how we apply our production methods when creating our large print documents.

• We use matt white or matt yellow to avoid light glare.
• When producing large print on both sides of the page, we use 100 and above GSM paper to avoid image bleeding.
• We use coloured pages between sections as dividers.
• Headings and paragraphs are left justified.
• Page numbers from the original text are right justified in square. brackets as it is considered useful when referencing.
• We prefer to comb bind all our large print documents as it enables the reader using CCTVS to keep the publication flat on the moving camera board.
• Tables are set out line by line separated by semi-colons if the text cannot be ideally laid out as a larger table.
