[QUOTE="RJS8669, post: 170042, member: 5742"] Interesting thread. I tend to think about what a product costs me to produce (labor/materials) and then add to that a number to cover overhead and profit. I don't have a price point on Imagine yet - supposed to be getting a puck today, so we'll see what the relative material costs will be. As for the labor, since I design and mill almost everything that goes thru the lab, my labor costs for this type of restoration will be in line with that of FCZs - except that I don't currently shade anything by hand, so I have to take that into consideration. Maybe I will price it between FCZs and eMax given that eMax requires additional labor in the form of investing/pressing/divesting. The one thing i think I have to take into consideration is shade consistency - with eMax i know what I'm getting from each ingot; shading zirconia by had is a little bit more of a crapshoot...
