Polaroid integral films

Description

“In 1972 Polaroid introduced an entirely new concept of instant photography with the film SX-70. With the new integral system, negative and receiving sheets were sealed into a single unit and all the reactive materials were present in the unit at the time of manufacture. There was no stripping of the negative and pod from the image. After development, all the reaction products coexisted in a new stable structure.”
