Polaroid

Polaroid is a well-known manufacturer and trademark of a photographic system that produces ‘instant’ prints. This system combines film, paper, and developing solution into a single unit. When the film/paper is exposed to light, the image begins to develop immediately, fully forming within a maximum of 5 minutes. To ensure optimal results and prevent over-developing, all Polaroids on Eyestorm have been professionally ‘stopped’ and removed from their developing backs.
