    Lens Tint Book? Any Suppliers?

    I am looking for few new lens tint books, the kind you show patients how each type of tint looks. I don't need the lenses, just the books, and my supplier stopped making them.

    Any other suggestions on how to show lens tints in a way that looks profesional?

    Thanks!

    BPI also has printed cataloque that looks better than at links above.

    Eventhough your supplier doesn't provide you with tinted samples, you should do on your own (at least the most popular colors). It looks more PRO.

    I believe the OP is capable of tinting a lens......the question is about the book, or holder for the samples.


    Check with one of the mirror coating companies. They use nice books that may suit your needs. Maybe they could point you to who supplies them. You could probably custom design them to what you want size wise. You might be able to "retrofit" one of their stock books as well. I think that it would be easy enough to re-cover the front and back.



    BPI lists one. I may have a few leads at the office. I'll post them when I get in today.
