Abstract

This research article examines the specific features of producing publications in Braille, highlighting the continuing social importance of educational and literary works accessible to individuals with visual impairments. Objective. The purpose of the research is to identify current trends in the development of Braille publishing in Ukraine and to analyze the principal technologies employed in the production of Braille-based literature. Methods. The study applies analytical, generalizing, and interpretative approaches to synthesize data from scientific and technical sources. Results. The research demonstrates that the effective dissemination of Braille publications depends on the availability of appropriate resources, the adaptation and preparation of textual content, and the implementation of advanced printing technologies. The article provides a concise overview of the historical trajectory of Braille publishing in Ukraine, outlines the content of early domestic manuals on Braille instruction for both children and adults, and reviews contemporary methodological contributions to Braille education for individuals with visual impairments, including those who lost their sight as a result of combat injuries. The analysis confirms that Braille publishing entails considerable material expenditures, including consumables, specialized printers, and auxiliary equipment. Modern technologies identified in Braille publishing include digital printing, embossing, UV inkjet printing, solid inkjet printing, thermography (thermal raising), thermal processing of relief-forming paper, vacuum forming, and screen printing. Conclusions. The research establishes that optimal tactile readability of Braille texts is achieved through digital drop-on-demand inkjet printing technology.
