- 1975, Communication and Sensory Aids for the Deaf-Blind, page 5:
- Devices that permit direct reading of inkprint would be far more useful, since then the entire library of published literature is then opened to a deaf-blind person, while only a relatively small selection can ever be put into braille.
- 1987, Rose-Marie Swallow, Kathleen Mary Huebner (eds.), How to Thrive, Not Just Survive, American Foundation for the Blind, page 40:
- “Twin-Vision” books are inkprint with braille overlays that help young children learn that words can be either seen or touched.
- 2008, Fernando Poyatos, Textual Translation and Live Translation, John Benjamins Publishing, page 32:
- A Braille library looks certainly dull and cold to the sighted person's eyes, used to inkprint libraries, since the Braille one looks more like a shelved collection of large bound legal documents.
