Custom Large Print Transcription & Printing Services

Large Print Standards: LP documents are formatted in accordance with the Braille Authority of North America’s standards (“BANA Standards”) for printing LP, Braille materials, currently found at www.brailleauthority.org.

Large Print standards and large print test booklets are simply the regular print (RP) print material produced in a larger font size with graphics enlarged. These test booklets are created for individuals who cannot read the regular print; therefore, it is very important that we pay attention to line breaks and how items are presented.

During the quality control stage we do a side-by-side compare of the Large Print and the Regular Print to ensure that nothing was missed in the construction of the LP document. When they are finished, they return the documents with comments to Operations. After review we may recommend that certain unnecessary graphics should be removed from the page as they only serve as noise and a great distraction on the page for LP user.The quality control team goes through all comments and marks up any necessary changes on a hard copy document, which is dropped off to Large Print Production Team. QC team updates the project proof notes and tracking sheets

LP Production then makes changes and posts for another review to ensure all changes were made correctly. If everything is OK the form is now ready for delivery to the client.

Client Review

The client reviews the BL1 and returns the documents to Accessibility Solutions Group with comments and any revisions.
Accessibility Solutions Group’s production team makes any needed revisions and QC team verifies all revisions have been made correctly. If everything is OK the form is sent back to client for approval.

Final LP Step

After the client provides approval to create a final master, one final QC is completed by the QC Team to ensure everything is correct and ready for final production.
