In the mid-1980s, Polaroid introduced a new film format. In North America, the format was called Spectra, in the rest of the world it was called Image. The way it works, such as the chemistry for development being located in the edge of the film or the frame around the captured image, is very similar to the 600 and SX-70 formats. However, the size was changed to 10.1 x 10.3 cm (actual image area: 9.1 x 7.2 cm). This was expected to improve image quality. Not many different models were manufactured for this film format.
After the production of Spectra/1200/Image films ended, instant films for the old cameras are now available again. Currently, for color photos there is the Polaroid Originals Color Film for Image & Spectra* and for black and white photos the Polaroid Originals B&W Film for Image & Spectra*.
