Considering the Quill ADA Resin Braille Printer — Looking for Real-World Feedback

[Hunter_KeenSigns]

• What are your professional thoughts on the Quill ADA Resin Braille Printer overall?
• How is the quality of the braille dots produced — in terms of height, consistency, and ADA compliance?
• How easy is the Quill to use on a day-to-day basis for typical sign jobs?
• Did you notice a measurable increase in productivity after adopting the Quill in your workflow?
• How does the Quill compare with your previous braille production method (e.g., manual raster drilling and bead insertion)?
• Have you experienced any issues with dot placement, maintenance, or integration with your CNC/engraver?
• What have you observed about customer support responsiveness (e.g., troubleshooting, parts, replacements)?
• Any additional tips, quirks, or lessons learned from using the Quill that a shop considering one should know?

A big question here is going to be what machine you plan to use the quill on. Stuff with auto tool changers and other tooling options will really allow the device to increase productivity. Hand mounting and zeroing every setup will not necessarily show increased throughput if you're running an engraver already.
*I don't have one, but heavily considered getting one, but my CNC spends more time cutting aluminum than ADA signage, so the degree of cleanup between tasks kept me from moving forward.

I run a cnc and its bit change currently which is our draw back for the current raster method

Ive been using the quill for about 1.5 years now, happy to answer any questions you may have. We were using the raster method before, Quill is easily 5-10 times faster. Ive been happy with the quality of the final product. There have been issues with consistancy of dot size and "roundness" but Jack @ Quill has been amazing to work with, extremly responsive and always goes above and beyond.

Any other questions,let me know!

Limited usage on my end so far, but results have been favorable. Got most of my quality issues worked out though about to really do some stress tests. Would recommend over other methods for sure.
