That last time I worked with VMK 68 was in 1989, or so! While this may be a nice exercise, I definitely think today's porcelain have better esthetics... But back to your question, have you googled for it?

Yes I googled it and i cant find nothing.I work with wmk master and i try with master parameters and it works really fine but i can't find anything about numbers and what it's stand for and what paint liquid means. I also find some vita toluele or something like that.

I would walk all of it to the dumpster and not look back. Great material for its time, but time has brought a lot of much better solutions.

The 68 in VMK 68 means the year it was launched... And we talk about last century here... It was replaced by VMK90 and then all the other successors afterwards.

Just keep in mind that when you fire it 7 times the value will fall through the floor. That stuff has a lot of Kaolin in it and it has a heat life.

this might be a dumb question......have you called Vita?

i am fully on board with pitching that stuff in the trash though, unless its being used for practicing purposes!

I remember switching to Omega? or was that just another name for 90? The stuff had serious coefficient issues. Never resolved it and attended seminar on synspar and made the switch. Until that got killed off.
Inline was my next, and only maybe two -three pfm a month now. :Top:
Maybe they went with names instead so we couldn’t remember how old the stuff is that we were using😀

I think it was Omega. We used that one after using the 90 for a short time. I do not remember if it was just a rebranding of the 90 or if there was a real change to it. I currently am using Ivoclar's Style after using d.Sign from the very beginning of its existence.
After going almost exclusively all ceramics, I never thought I had to buy into a new PFM porcelain system... but demand has been high for pfms, higher than I would like it to be...
