FUJI INSTAX TRANSPARENCY, be creative with INSTAX

Up to this day i always thought that a transparency with Fujifilm Instax was not possible, but i proofed myself to be wrong. Maybe i was overthinking the whole process but it's a simple solution that everyone can do at home.

If you soak it in boiling water for several minutes you can actually do this with older images! My first attempt was with a two week old print and it worked really well. You also achieve a much more vibrant result

[@urielcastro1134]

you can also use a tony bit of alcohol or perfume to get it even faster. it does leave the images looking a smidge reddish but i perdonally dont mind

[@WMARUoriginal]

This is truly a major breakthrough! Great work!

1. Cut around the picture (remove the frame). 2. Separate the slightly magenta transparent plastic layer from the rest. 3. Remove the "black stuff" (this can be done even after weeks with an aggressive cleaner like grill cleaner). 4. With hot water and a lot of patience you can pull the gelatine emulsion layer off (possible emulsion lift - good luckl!). 5. Now there is the white layer. If you scratch it off too harshly you might damage the : 6. Very thin grey layer which has the picture information. -- If you do you are down to a transparent plastic layer you've lost it. Instax was obviously never meant to be used as transparencies. (Haven't tried Instax B/W film yet.) -- Hope some Fujifilm guys will read this. I can hear them laughing all the way from Japan...

I was able to easily remove the black filmy stuff in chunks. the gray layer was harder, I was rough with it because I was getting tired of standing and using a lot of water and thought what the heck since I found out this wouldn't be an easy task. When I started I thought it would be easy likin the the sx-70 lifts, also the pics were taken 6 months ago. I am now down to the white layer and it doesn't want to easily come off so I boiled water and drop the film in it. I am still waiting to see if it will loosen. You are right they are all probably laughing. Thanks for the tips above!

im trying to do a emulsion lift with thw fujifilm and for now i tried twice and failed twice lol any tips?

[@bluebaconjake405]

@@mariarosacardoso662 I dont think its possible to do emulsions lifts with instax film

[@lolkolf7789]

Fantastic job figuring this out Marco! Great video! ;)

[@Prplgrl69]

thank you so much this was very easy to follow and im happy to find a way to do it

[@astarjack]

You can use double exposure mode (for Fuji camera) and multiple exposure mode (for Lomo cameras) in order to let the film in the cartridge. So you can let eject it when you press again the multi exposure button You done a really interesting work! Keep on rocking 🔥

[@playmylife]

I LOVE THIS!

[@boukebeer]

Awesome video! The magenta spots remind me of the Polaroid instant 35mm slide film, has a nice vibe to it!

[@AnalogThings]

thanks bouke

[@et2neoh]

Since you need to have access to hot water and a basin immediately after printing the photo, this sounds like a great use for an Instax printer

[@bluebaconjake405]

But it would defeat the purpose of instant photography for some people imo. Its definitely more practical tho!

[@1CONOCLA5T]

Very interesting. 1 might try it at some point.

[@JimBarky]

I miss your videos! Hoping that everything is alright.

[@TimHunold]

DUDE! YESSSSSS!!!!! But it is not an emulsion lift. This is cool though

[@sofiamenta8680]

yay thank u im going to try this

[@mistermotoki]

Really love it

[@BleuBakerbleubakersjrbca]

Awesome stuff

[@doyoudevelop]

You're a madman! :D

[@emkei_film_photo]

can you do this with instax mini too?

[@KathaKhajiit]

Ich habe bisher nirgends im Internet eine Antwort auf diese Frage gefunden, deshalb stelle ich sie jetzt dir. Kann ich meine Polaroids irgendwo aufhängen? Also so, dass sie dem Tageslicht ausgesetzt sind oder verblassen sie dann nach kurzer Zeit? Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ✌🏻

[@sjjm10]

Hey Marco, i have some questions for you regarding camera systems to use with FP100c. I have tried: Mamiya RZ67, Polaroid 600SE, Land Camera 180. But none of them are exactly what we're looking for. Would you be able to advise on using FP100c with a 5x4 press camera? Ive heard you can convert a graflex....? Anyway, any help or advice is very much appreciated. All the best

[@AnalogThings]

with the polaroid 405 holder you can use typ100 on the 4x5 cameras, which i really enjoy but it brings a much bigger carry with it

[@madisonthomas5538]

Why am I seeing a red light in my polaroid 640 and the cameras not working not working?

[@betopego7756]

Hey Marco! Just signed your channel, I´m loving it! Congrats! I have a question about emulsion lifts with Polaroid Originals films. I´ve done some emulsion lifts back in the 90´s with Polaroid films, and some years ago with Impossible film, and I had no difficulty even with pics that were not fresh (just slowly brushing the white layer of chemicals) and I could do it even with water in natural temperature. Now I´m starting a new project using this technique with Polaroid Originals Color 600 films and I just can´t keep the emulsion intact. That transparent gel that comes off turns into a sticky slime and the image just tears apart in pieces... Tried it like 4 or 5 times, in cold water, in warm water...but could not save one. I´ve seen your video using B&W Polaroid Originals film and you work it perfectly in warm water. Would you have any advice on how to work with color film? Any difference from 600 or SX-70 films? (I only tried Color 600, total failure). Thanks for your help, your videos are great!

[@AnalogThings]

hey beto, the color film is a b**** at the moment, as you said it gets that sticky oily thing and is super hard todo. if by any chance you can do the project on bw film you would have it alot easier. as for the color i have to try one myself with the latest batch, haven't done color lifts in a while

[@betopego7756]

@@AnalogThings thanks Marco. I´m gonna do some B&W and try on color later and see how it goes..

[@martinak.8226]

Hey! Thanks for this video, it’s what I was looking for :) just a question: where can I throw the water? It’s highly polluting I guess, I don’t have the gut to just throw it in the sink :/

[@itstaytayyy3309]

Has to be black and white film right? This won’t work with colour ?

[@apewithacomputer1897]

I find if you soak it in acetone it doesn't matter how long you wait after u take the photo

[@geireplekake820]

to get the black layer off? It works fine?

[@jfgme]

Are videos going to return or did you call it quits :( ?

[@Khalidazizphoto]

did you try sodium sulfite like on the polaroid 665 film?

[@AnalogThings]

no, haven't tried that. if you do let me know what happens

[@darthpoodle1143]

I’ve got a question: is a sx 70 with a flash just as good for taking pictures inside as a 600?

[@AnalogThings]

with flash you should be fine, but for snapshots i still prefer the 600

[@michaelh.gerloff3659]

When you talked about the chemicals and protecting your hands with gloves I thought: these chemicals (whatever they are) go down the sink. And if this is good for environmental reasons?

[@mewmew1132]

Of course it’s not good

[@igaluitchannel6644]

Interesting, but is it worth it?
