Japan has the highest rate of increase with respect to the population of senior citizens. More products, facilities, and services that are accessible to a wider range of people, regardless of their physical qualities or disabilities, are becoming popular. In this study, we focused on visual impediment. Printing braille and tactile maps with clear and colorless ultraviolet curable ink is usually done by screen printing. However, it is pointed out that end result of printed material manufactured by this method is poor quality. Therefore, we developed new printer for braille and tactile map, that clear and colorless ultraviolet curable ink was jetted by nozzle quickly. Furthermore, monitoring evaluation was conducted by several people actually using the Braille manufactured by the new printer. From this monitoring evaluation, we obtained a good appraisal for the braille.
