BPI has introduced a new tinting caplet for use in BPI Turbo Tinters or in other tinting units. The BPI T2 Black Caplet (Product Code 50065) joins the existing line of BPI Tinting Pills as an even more durable tinting option. The BPI T2 (for "Turbo Tinter") Caplet will tolerate the higher temperatures often used in the Turbo Tinters without color degradation. The caplet may also be used in standard tinting units for extended tinting lifetimes.

BPI has replaced its liquid defoamer with a new concentrated version, BPI No Foam Powder (product code 40211). A single capful will defoam five gallons of lens edging or surfacing coolant fluid.

BPI has introduced a new addition to its line of color analysis meters. The BPI RGB Spectrometer / Color Analyzer (PC 19504) joins the ranks of the BPI Spectrometer (PC 19501) and the BPI Dual Cuvette Spectrometer (PC 19502) as a cost effective means for checking and matching tinted lenses and filters. The BPI RGB Spectrometer looks at the three principal colors, red, green and blue, which the eye uses for making its color determinations. The meter then converts this information into color coordinate information, such as (L*, a* ,b*) or (x,y,Y) or (X,Y,Z) or even BPI's (R,G,B). This information is then used by the Companion PC Program to compare the sample color with that of another lens or filter (the standard) and predict what corrector tints and times would be needed to bring the sample close to the color standard.

BPI has added color space information to our website for those who would like to become better informed on the subject of color perception and analysis.
