   Who's refurbing Polaroid Cameras These Days?

   I've got an SX-70 that I had refurbished around 2013 I think by someone with the eBay name FastCat I think. He did a good job and it worked for a while. But I think it's time for a CLA on the thing. It still shoots, and spits out film but it's a bit like a rusty classic car that needs some...

   Will Tray RA-4 printing sacrifice quality of a print compared to a print processing machine?

   I remember trying different times in the past with no significant change, but for whatever reason I decided two minutes was optimum. YMMV. OTTOMH I would think any change per time at colder temperatures would be less than at higher temperatures.

   Will Tray RA-4 printing sacrifice quality of a print compared to a print processing machine?

   ...I ask because at higher temperature it seems like, once it's done, it's done. Leaving it to develop longer has no effect. I know with the old Polaroid professional, peel apart films, extending development at room temperature didn't seem to matter. I guess I'm asking is timing critical at 68F?

   Polaroid transfers? Still doable?

   ...There is another 4x5 back already offered by Mercury Camera, but it is much more expensive. This is uncharitable. The Polaroid pack-film manufacturing equipment was destroyed when the company went through one of its reorganizations, so there was nothing available for the Impossible Project...

   Polaroid transfers? Still doable?

   Thx for enlightening me a bit... So my Polaroid-compatible backs for my 4x5 monorails or for my Bronica ETRSi would not work with the 600-pack currently offered by the new 'Polaroid' company. So it is highly unlikely that the current stuff would fit at all on my Bronica (no compatible mount)...

   Inkjet Transfers similar to Polaroid

   No, not iron-ons. Seems there is a process for transfering inkjet printed images to a porous medium for an effect similar to a Polaroid transfer. Anyone done this?

   Polaroid transfers? Still doable?

   Not sure what you mean by this. The integral films cannot be used in the Polaroid and Fuji holders designed for peel-apart and P/N films. The integral film comes loaded in a pack or cassette that's inserted directly into a compatible camera. After exposure, the individual sheet is ejected...

   Polaroid transfers? Still doable?

   Oren, So although these fit traditional backs, the result is an 'instant print' , one that is not peeled apart after the appropriate processing time has elapsed?

   Polaroid transfers? Still doable?

   Thanks, Brian - lots of good links there about what can be done with various versions of the recent Polaroid integral materials. Just ran a similar search substituting Instax, and on a quick glance that seems less promising. But perhaps there's a useful needle hiding somewhere in that haystack.

    Polaroid transfers? Still doable?

    The instant films currently offered by both Polaroid and Fuji are all integral materials. As for peel-apart: You can still buy some of Florian Kaps' "One Instant" packfilm assembled from left-over Polaroid 20x24 materials. Price is 10 euro per exposure. Not clear how much stock they have...

    Polaroid transfers? Still doable?

    The issue is finding the peel-apart type of film equivalent to the original Polaroid film The Impossible Project (now called 'Polariod') makes only the SX-70 style cameras and film that instantly spits out a positive print, as I understand it. But if you buy their 600 packs, that appears to be...
