Polaroid Color i-Type Film Color Frames Edition

The Polaroid Originals Color i-Type film is an instant film. The Polaroid company is responsible for the production of the film. However, this is not the original company from the U.S., but the successors, which at times operated under the name “The Impossible Project”. In the meantime, they have adopted the original brand name and photographers can once again buy “Polaroid films”. The film stock is manufactured in the Netherlands.

The Polaroid Color i-Type Film Color Frames Edition is a special edition of the Polaroid Color i-Type film. An instant picture with this film has a size of 8.8 x 10.7 cm. The actual picture is 7.9 x 7.9 cm and is surrounded by a frame. The frames around the images in this edition are not white, but printed in bright colors.

Development starts automatically after the image is ejected. Further steps are not necessary. You do not have to shake the images, this does not shorten the development time. You need to allow about 15 minutes for development.

Film format

The film format was developed by the company, then called “The Impossible Project”. The film can be used in i-Type format models. These include the Polaroid Originals OneStep 2, the Polaroid Now, the Impossible Instant Lab, Polaroid Lab and Polaroid Now+.

The pictures come in what is called a film cassette. Unlike the 600 film, which are identical in form factor, there is no battery in the film cassette. Therefore, the films cannot be used in the Polaroid 600 cameras. For the 600 format, there is about the Polaroid Color Film for 600*. Also, the film cannot be used in other old Polaroid cameras.

One pack of the film is enough for eight shots with an instant camera. Once the eight pictures are taken, you need a new pack of film again.

In addition to the color film, there is also a black and white film for monochrome pictures for the i-Type format (Polaroid B&W Film for i-Type*).
