I've not used this before, though I assume all reference to 'film' really means prints (unlike type 55). I bought a couple of boxes of out-of-date stuff from Mr Cad in the UK & would appreciate any comments, feedback etc especially on stuff a few months out-of-date?

The biggest issue with out-of-date polaroid materials is the apparent drying of the chemical pack -- the goop that gets spread by the rollers. You'll see this as an incomplete picture -- the rollers just run out of chemicals to spread and there are white areas on the photograph. (particularly with opened boxes ..sealing them in something may help).

Run some tests using a couple of sheets.
