I have some older polariod cameras sitting around my house, but i've never gotten around to getting film and shooting with them. I really should one of these days.

Guest BROWNer Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 yo chupacabra, hook me up man! i got that one step a couple of weeks ago, but its a piece of shioiaett. the images were blurred, and there was this overall purpley vibe goin' on. so now i have another shit one step coming..hopefully it works. somebody told me to get some black electrical and tape the shit out of it becuz light may be leaking in, is that possible?

So what if the jawn is blurry! It makes for a more intersting photo. If the polaroid appears purple, you're using the camera and film pack in a cold environment. Let it warm up and try then. If you have a light leak, try to use it to your advantage. Once again, it cam lead to interesting photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Rage- Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Never tried Polaroid Transfers. I've been meaning to buy different film types. I have tried this though. - Using 600 film, take a generic photo. - Having a pair of scisors handy, cut off the white border. - Gently peel apart the image from the photo chemical backing. - Place the chemical backing on a papered surface and peel developing from black back layer. Be gentle not to rustle the checmical layer. - Manipulate the checmical layer as you like on paper. - Use the photo for anything you'd like. Does anyone want a step by step visual instruction? *edit: wait... okay, maybe this IS a transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Rage- Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 *note. My jawn fucked up because I used a new pack of 600 film straight out of the Fridge. Will work better with room temperature equipment. Try this: http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer1.jpg'> Tools~ ¬ Paper (or some smooth surface) ¬ A Polaroid that takes 600 film ¬ Scissors ¬ A brain that is willing to accept the fact that you may fuck this up, but it's cool to try new things. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer2.jpg'> 1. Using 600 film, take a generic photo. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer3.jpg'> 2. Wait for image to develop, approx 2 - 3 minutes. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer4.jpg'> 3. Cut off ALL white border. ***different image*** http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer5.jpg'> 4. Now you are ready to peel the image layer and chemical layer. ****This is where I fucked up**** I should have A) waited longer to develop and B) should have let my film become room temperature. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer6.jpg'> 5. This is the back black layer which will be attatched to the chemical layer. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer7.jpg'> 6. Gently peel apart the image from the photo chemical backing. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer8.jpg'> 7. Place the chemical backing on a papered surface and peel developing from black back layer. Be gentle not to rustle the checmical layer. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer9.jpg'> 8. Manipulate the checmical layer as you like on paper. This layer should peel off from the black backing and SHOLD be the same consistency as a piece of double-sided tape. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer10.jpg'> 9. Use the photo for anything you'd like. http://www.angryalan.com/photohost/12ozalbum/transfer11.jpg'> 10. In this event it came out with an awesome transparency. GOOD LUCK!

PedroHammers Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 tesser... have you tried to do poloroid transfers with Acetone? or will that not work? Just a curiosity question. I have not tried it yet and was wondering if you or anybody has tried this process. I am only familiar with doing that with laser prints... and love it.. so I am just i would like to know if it would work with poloroids as well.

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Pedro, i really dont know if acetone would work...the more i search on the web the more technics i find...some use hot water, some use soap for the dishes...i have to try that stuff one day.

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Originally posted by BROWNer yo pedro god, hook up the laser print transfer knowledge. It also works with b&w photocopies, i think you just drop some aceton on it, press it against another paper-face down- and voila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroHammers Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Here you go Browner Acetone Transfers. Very easy, very ghetto, very cheap. First and foremost do the burnishing process in a well ventilated room wearing thick rubber gloves and a respirator Materials Rubber Gloves Respirator Acetone Burnisher (Photo IDs, Credit Cards etc. work as well) Laser Print (I am only listing laser prints because I am an advocate of this, I believe that the toner in B&W photo copies are not strong enough) Procedures 1. Take your design/image/text/picture etc. and make sure that it is the reverse of what the original is. 2. Print to a Laser Printer 3. Take print and lay it image side down on material you are transfering it to 4. Tape corners down. 5. Pour Acetone onto a clean rag. Rub the back of the print down with acetone wet rag, paper will become transluscent. Do this in sections DO NOT do the whole image at once, 5in. X 5in. areas only. 6. Burnish the affected area until the paper becomes opaque again. 7. Repeat all the steps checking periodically to make sure it is working I have done this onto high quality paper, canvas, tshirts... every time it has worked great. I have yet to try the process with color prints, though I know it is possible, if anyone has done this feel free to drop your experience. AND if anyone has any other methods for transfers holla at me. hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
