    NEED ADVICE- Getting into AR

    Our lab is going into digital very soon and we want a good entry level AR unit that gives a quality coating for the cost.
    I was hoping to make a deal with one of the digital suppliers for an AR unit as well but it seems cost prohibitive.
    I may still do that, but I need advice on what is out there that is high quality and moderately priced that can coat
    20-50 pr per day to start. We can't spend another $200K on top of the digital equipment purchase so is there anything out there made by anyone that isn't junk, that will actually give a coating we can safely warranty for a year?
    Is there nothing out there for less than $100K? That's what I don't know. Please advise. ....and thanks.

    When you get quality uncut coatings from other companies quick with a 2 yr warranty for under (wholesale pricing removed) a pair, you must sit back and ask yourself 'WHY'??

    However with going digital and trying to provide an "in house" solution, there is an argument made to have AR. I know in this area, when we talk to an account, they always ask if it is in house. A large local lab has convinced them that they will always be faster cause they don't send it out. We are proving them wrong, but we are also at a much lower margin..
