At the RNIB and JMU Access Partnership I have heard of something called
'swell paper' - evidently it works like a photocopier and where the ink
touches the paper (which is a bit like blotting paper ) it swells - not good
enough for signage though but great for explaining diagrams or icons. Not
sure who makes the copiers or paper or if it is even still available - it
sounds like fun!
