Most films from Impossible are very light-sensitive after exposure. If they are not immediately protected from light, this usually leads to bright and low-contrast images. How can this be prevented?
The instant films from Impossible are very light-sensitive after exposure, when the camera ejects the image. The first 30 seconds are particularly critical. If not protected immediately, this can lead to low-contrast and bright images. During development time, it also doesn't hurt to turn it over so that the image is protected from light.
One way to protect it from light is simply to hold your hand over the image when ejecting and bring the image to safety. Impossible has even released some products for this problem. With the Frog Tongue for Spectra cameras, the Frog Tongue for 600 cameras, and the PX Shade for SX-70 cameras, protecting from light is simplified.
But I haven't tested these yet, so I can't say if they are any good.
These videos show some methods for the various Polaroid cameras.
So protect your film from the evil light!
