Can I put paper into film packet before processing?greenspun.com : LUSENET : polaroid transfers : One Thread |
I recently read that 8x10 image transfers are done by puting the paper into the film packet before processing. I assume that this gives better results than the methods used with smaller films and allows the red dye to fully transfer.So, is there any way to do this with 4x5? I was able to load some film into my #500 holder, pull out the outer envelope, and insert some paper in the proper place. When I processed the film, the clip hung up near the rollers and the packet ripped apart, leaving a lot of developer goo on the rollers and little on the print. (what a mess!)
Has anyone else tried this? I assume that if I keep the paper clear of the clip area it might work better, but I have no idea of the "goo" will spread properly.
