[QUOTE="user name, post: 37369, member: 1719"] Its not a disadvantage to require two firings. Your chances of hitting the shade on a monolithic in one bake are slim. I like to prepolish with a Komet Blue Ceramic Polisher #94002 C. Then apply a thinned layer of glaze, check the colors and adjust. Then you can tweek the colors if needed along with the second glaze bake. Besides-its not just hitting the color, but there are variations in glaze that look natural, and doing a two step can minimize post polishing with diamond paste. Its tough to imitate trans cusp tips on one bake. If youre just using I1 &I2 stains, the value drops quick, but you can get the blue of trans in the first bake, and add the slightest white on the ridges and tips to imitate the frosty sparkle of enamel and add depth to the anatomy and restore a touch of value with the second firing.
