OK so i went along to an Ivoclar road show last night and got some great information.
Theres allot of people on here asking about which press furnace to get so take note here!
Firstly the new Mutli ingots..Pretty darn awesome! got to see how the sprue set up works and the kinda results you can get with a stain/glaze technique and this is gonna be BIG for mainstream commercial work or even multi unit smile makeover stuff.
The ingots phase from dentine opacity to incisal translucency (not just colour but translucency!) and matched the stock vita guide damn near perfect from what i saw.
Now a bit of a bomb shell (would be press furnace buyers take note!)
You need a press furnace with an intelligent press function to use these ingots!
The liquid glass press's horizontally not vertically and apparently this requires a press that can sense the liquid state and pressure of the glass as it press's.
Basically what ivoclar are saying is that you need an EP3000 or EP5000 to press the multi ingots, as these are the only two furnace's in their range (and any body elses?) that have an IPF function.
Now this maybe just Ivoclar trying to flog their own gear, but when you see how the sprue former works it makes perfect sense that the furnace would need this extra level of sensing/function.
Anyone who is about to buy a press furnace, you may wanna take note of this as you DO NOT wanna miss being able to use these ingots.
Maybe there will be a work around with regular press's, maybe not...
Lucky i bought an EP3000 a while back, so looks like i made the right choice for a change .
