    Wholesale Lab Packages

    Got a call today from a friend at an independent wholesale lab. He wanted to know what can his lab do to us so we can use their frame and lens packages. We currently edge in house..I told him and the only thing I might consider is outsource the 3pm to them as long as it sounds better money wise!
    What do you people think is the best approach for them to push their packages? They have access to finished lenses as well...
    TIA
    I realy want to help this gentlemen!

    Any outsourced lab work will cost you more, specially if you are equipped to do it yourself.

    Anything you can do yourself is always the best deal. Outsourcing has always been more expensive one way or the other.

    There are jobs that I can outsource and not lose $$$. For example my machine takes 20 minutes to edge and polish a 3 piece mount polycarbonate job. At this time I can cut 20 other basic jobs! So when I have 15 rimless jobs waiting I am not so happy!
    The other thing is a question of being equipped and having the latest and greatest equipment! I know Chris will tell me that he can do a better and quicker job by hand with his 50 years old Vigor drill but I still like the work that comes out from something a bit more modern.....

    .................actually the my old drill was a brand new latest Essilor drill machine when I bought it in my old lab days.

    Then I also used only the latest and best equipment one could get. However I still learned the trade the old basic way.

    LenSync can help you send the work to your friendly lab as a new option coming to market. We can work with any equipment to ensure the ECP and retail gets the finished product as ordered with no need for special instructions! If you need to put it in notes; than it must not be that important.

    You are not the only one that is confused their must dozens or more of them on OptiBoard including myself, watching the posts how LenSinc is going to change the world.

    I have found their website been on it but it does not tell you anymore than we know already. It is all very mysterious, but
    is going to change the world of optics as we know it, and we have been reading it all over for the last 12 month.

    Lenny.............My concentration has reached the end of the rope and has blocked up.

    Maybe you have to wait until the Baby is properly born and kicking and screaming. so it can be identified down to the finger prints.
