Impossible Spectra Color Polaroid Film, White (4518)

It’s ridiculous how expensive plain Polaroid film is. But I still love the look so I still pay for it. This film was great. New not old. Did what it’s supposed to

The new formula, Gen 3 film, has great color reproduction and much better development time. I just wish they'd make more per batch!

The film did work but there was some significant ghosting on the sides. Resolution seemed poor. It's also far too expensive at about $3 per picture.

The film works great, just remember to keep the picture out of direct light for 10 secs and placed in place out of sun light for few minutes to half hour. Hopefully they well improve to brighten of the colors in the future , pictures is a little on spectic (yellow) side. Also a vid wearing any thing that every reflective like white as it over loads the light on the picture.

Liked the overall quality as I use Impossible film often. My first pack was used for a brand new Spectra 2, though the camera would 'jam' after taking the photo. I thought this was due to the camera, but after some research and messing with the film pack in a darkroom, I realized the black 'sticker' that is placed on the opening of the film cartridge was preventing the film from moving out of the cartridge, and leaving it at the rollers, causing the film to burn at the bottom, making the photo appear, with a blob at the bottom. Other friends who purchased spectra systems, and many people I spoke to on online forums had similar issues with the camera not ejecting photos, and to my friends who did have the issue, the sticker was indeed the issue. To go into specifics of the problem, before the sticker was removed, the camera would make an odd sound as if it were struggling, and the film stopped at the base of the photo, only touching the white border. The light for the flash had turned off and didn't turn back on until I opened the film door and pressed the shutter button again, upon the third try, the photo came out. This lasted until the second photo where I looked on various forums looking for a solution, where I found that peeling off the sticker on the cartridge opening (where the film is ejected) is the cause for most jamming issues. This was indeed the case, for me and my friends, and the process caused at least four photos to be ruined, two by the jamming, and two more by fixing it (came out completely gray) I hope this was the result of a bad batch and all cartidges don't have the same issue. The remaining few photos were worth it though.

My boyfriend and I are having so much fun with these black and white Polaroid films. We are planning on taking some vintage photos and use for Christmas. Came on time.. Only thing I would say.. They so are pricey. But well worth it.

I was excited to get this film for my Spectra camera but disappointed in the product. I know that The Impossible Project had to essentially start over from scratch but the material quality is significantly behind and should be considered a beta test if anything and priced accordingly. While the first few images developed just fine, the 4th and 5th images developed with a blob at the top where the developer in the picture's built-in envelope just ran out, leaving a section at the top of the image where it was exposed but not developed. It's easy to spot the manufacturing defect here and I can only hope that The Impossible Project takes a look at their developer formula and can reconfigure it to be the correct amount of chemical.

Good quality! Just have an issue with my Spectra Camera. Make sure you guys look into common issues with Spectra cameras before you throw down on pricey film.
