Hello.
Speaking of raised print: I just remembered that, quite a few years ago, my
dad had a dymo-type print label maker that produced capital letters. They
were big enough for me to read easily. He now has a labeler that uses lower
case letters which are harder to read. If the labelers are still made with
capital letters, that might be a solution for labeling videos, CD's, etc.
