Below are the firing Parameters for the Programat CS6 for Ivocolor.  Two drying times can be worked with. The Glaze dry time cycle is 14:10 minutes. Using the Cryst drying cycle will reduce the overall cycle time to 11:20 minutes.  I have not observed any bubbling when using the faster cycle.  Experiment and see what works best for your results.

MiYO Esthetic has been a game changer for making zirconia restorations more life-like and ceramics.  Considered a brush on ceramic, the colors have a special translucency, providing a depth effect like no other ceramic coloring system.  Recently Jensen provided an 16 minute firing program.  Below is the firing forumula for furnance programing.

In the last ten years, I have applied various glazes for e.max, starting with Crystall, then Ceram and Colors, Ivoclor, and now MiYO 850.  Each one has improved the outcome for the final result.  What I have learned from teaching all of these products on e.max through the years is that the colors and glaze with MiYO 850 are more forgiving and natural looking due to their translucent nature than any other system I have used.  In all my 30-plus years of teaching, never have I seen such a positive and emotional response to learning and mastery as I have observed with MiYO.  My main motivation for teaching is passing on significant valuedRead more

This last year has been a good year for chairside CAD/CAM.  The Primemill has come to its own with mill quality for both ceramics and zirconia.  The Extra Fine Mill for ceramics provides superior fit and margins, including e.max.  The Primemill is seamless for zirconia quality mills with newer, high-strength, and aesthetic zirconias available.  It has been a good year!
