What porcelain do you prefer?

[charles007]

Thanks for the info.... no pink porcelain and selected modifiers is the only reason I didn't buy the kit. Plus, still no 3D shades..
Any word on the new Creation zr porcelain just recently released ? anyone ? This maybe the next porcelain many will change over to..

Noritake EX3 , CZR predictable and easiest to use

Albert, using CZR, are your shades matching as well in 3D as in Classical ? I can't nail shades in 3D with vm9, but easy in Classical shades.
Most of my 3d shades are light shades, such as 1m1, 1m1.5, 2m1, 2m1.5
Guess the problem leads back to the shades of the zirconia coping shade being slightly off.The only thing that helps is trying to get a better match on the wash coat..
Never had any problems matching 3d shades or classical with Vita porcelain in metal ceramics ! Also never had problems matching Classical shades with EX3..

Have you ever tried vm9 on 3d shades ? did you have the same problem with zirconia ?
Are you getting better shades in metal ceramics with ex3 with 3d shades compared to CZR ?
