    Tint dyes

    For those that tint, what brand of tint does everyone use. We have some dynamic colors in the back, but I've had nothing but issues with the colors coming out different. I'm wondering if my tints are just too old. I've heard that BPI makes really good tints, any suggestions? I've got room for 9 tints.

    Try our Dura Dye www.superoptical.com. 20% discount for OPtiboarders. Biggest mistake I see is not cleaning the pans. All old dye MUST be removed.

    I didnt like dynamic lab tints when I tried them in the past. They seemed to tint slower than BPI.

    BPI tints are my tint of choice! Their Absolute Black and Brown I've found are extremely consistent and long-lasting. Perfect for the summertime sunglass madness.
    I have dabbled with Dynamic's line of tints and had similar issues: colors appearing different than the bottles/expected color.
    I have BPI's turbo tinter unit which holds six 1L beakers of tint. Worst part is cycling the colors based on job requests.

    What's the difference between VSP's options of gray 1 vs gray 2 vs gray 3?

    Idk how VSP operates but that SHOULD designate the intensity. Similar to polarized A and C options. Grey 1 lightest > Grey 3 darkest.
