Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore™ technology, a closely
guarded proprietary process that entails permanently laminating the
filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground
flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them
in precision metal rings.
The
ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the color and density of
Tiffen filters, and the characteristics of special effects filters with
much greater accuracy than typical dyed-in-the-mass filters, which
usually exhibit color and density variations.
When Tiffen filters are ground and polished, the Colorcore is
unaffected, so color and density remain uniform. Indeed, when you hold
a group of Tiffen filters of the same type against a white sheet of
paper, they all look identical -- because they are! Try this with or
competitor's filters and you're likely to see slight variations.
Maybe that's why most top Hollywood motion picture studios rely on
Tiffen filters for their multimillion-dollar productions, or why Tiffen
can custom-make an exact replacement for them if one breaks on the job.
That's consistency, and excellence - two pretty good reasons why, when
it comes to filters, you should rely on Tiffen too.

The Tiffen Ten-Year Warranty
Tiffen precision-made filters are so superior, Tiffen backs them
with a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Unlike ordinary
batch-dyed glass filters in which color can be uneven, Tiffen's unique
lamination process allows complete control over color and density for
maximum consistency. Tiffen has been honored with two Technical
Achievment Awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,
for its unique lamination process and innovative product design. Tiffen
has also been awarded an Emmy, from the Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences, for its engineering excellence.
