On a toner-style (instead of an ink
cartridge-style) copier, copy your Tactile Card image onto Swell-Paper™ and run it through the Swell-Form™ graphics machine.
Using a lower heat setting and running the
Swell-Paper™ through twice gives excellent results without
changing the blank background of the graphic.
Note: An ink cartridge-style printer
will work; however, the background ends up with a slight
texture. In the event that you do not have access
to a Swell-Form™
graphics machine and would like to order pre-made copies,
please contact Ben Wentworth at Tactile
Learning.

Quark Cards should be used to produce the cards used in
the Student Activity: Quarks - Making Arrangements. These
cards have been made with a boarder around the Quark symbol
for each card. A double-lined border will be found on one
edge of each card to indicate the edge that should be nearest
the individual using the cards. This eliminates the need to
read each symbol in order for the user to line the cards up
properly. If you have a Swell-Form™ graphics machine at your disposal, download one of the following
