I just made my first Polaroid with the Polaroid Lab. As a huge Polaroid fan I’m absolutely thrilled about this device. I can now transfer my best DSLR photos to a Polaroid. Big thanks to the developers of the Polaroid Lab.

Does the brightness level on your phone matter or is brightness adjusted by the app when you lay the phone over the lens?

[@MrHowardMoon]

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

[@ChefIan07]

I’d also like to know this

[@OfficerRFriendly]

Unlike anything I've seen before? So what's the Instant Lab then? This better not have the same battery issues or you're going to really have to replace a lot of these.

[@atalkinghead3637]

Shhhh quiet, they don't want people to be reminded of that disaster. Just buy this one which might be a tiny bit better ;).

[@MyKidsRmyLife85]

Is there a way you can filter ur pictures to make em brighter ?

[@StoriesbyCam]

Yes, in the app I believe.

[@robbonavco1610]

The lab also causes an outer circular dark clouding or vignetting. The only way to remove this, is to scan and work an image in photoshop. That is very problematic. In theory the lab is a great idea, but it appears, falls well short.. Does anyone have a solution for this vignetting problem?

[@jasinsulejmani1053]

Hey Plaroid Team I need your help I found a Polaroid image 2 from my Grandfather but I cant find a Film tahts fit with this kamera. Pleas hellopppp meeeeeeeeeee!!!

[@patrickjclarke]

As the "King of the Lab" from the Instant Lab days (and having one of my images used in its advertising) this is an amazing upgrade! And great job on the tutorial and overview Oskar!

[@robbonavco1610]

I'm using a Polaroid lab. At the very bottom edge of the image, the last 2 millimetres, it keeps double exposing so there is slither of double image. Nothing I try is curing this. Polaroid have proved useless and have nothing relevant to say.. In put welcome?

[@CHiLECHiLL456]

why not just create an app where you dont need to put the phone on the printer to get an exposure?

[@feni_1553]

Take your case off and disable things like True Tone and Night Shift?

[@shotwithscott]

Can someone help me. I’ve been using mine and my Polaroid scans keep turning orange? Is there a fix?

[@RGraves3]

why not just be able to print polaroid photos through bluetooth instead of the whole scanning method?

[@atalkinghead3637]

Because they aren't as intuitive and intelligent as FujiFilm. For real though. Did you see their BS response to you ("a little bit of magic")?? Save your money and buy a Fuji Instax printer, the mini or square version both work wonders and connect via bluetooth/wifi. None of this scanning crap at $3 per photo.

[@johnchau3363]

​@@PolaroidOriginals If the quality of the photo affects the quality of the print, doesn't the resolution of the phone screen also affect the print's resolution? What if the photo has a much higher resolution than that of the phone? Isn't that a bit limiting?

[@tripleaaa4409]

aTalkingHead I think it’s because your phone acts as an Enlarger and exposes onto the developer, so if it were digital it wouldn’t work.

Are you supposed to push it back down when you're done??

[@seabeanmanorbier4106]

I’ve just purchased the Lab, but sadly the public AR functionality is now disabled and I’m the only one who can view my embedded AR videos. It’s a huge shame as it defeats the whole ethos of sharing my photo embedded AR videos with family and friends. Now looking for an alternative for this purpose.

[@ReValdi-d6f]

what if all the processes have been passed but the photos don't come out, does the black band that slightly comes out make the film paper unreadable?

[@ruibai434]

Can I duplicate Polaroid photos with the Lab by placing a Polaroid photo on the platform instead of a phone? Will it capture all of the original Polaroid photo? Will the new photo have worse exposure than the original?

[@FaizulPhr]

I don't see barcode as u said so >>>. so how is that ?

[@feni_1553]

Was that a 4x4 in the intro?

[@therealboywonder6832]

It's a shame the replacement film is so expensive. Otherwise a nice product

[@masterkamen371]

Honestly instant film (Polaroid or Fujifilm Instax) isn't even all that expensive when it comes to color film. Color negative film (not instant at all) costs about $20 per roll in my case and with that you get 36 photos that you still need to pay extra for developing, and pay some more for the developing lab to scan or print the photos for you. Color film developing and printing is quite complicated and there's no way the average person with a reasonable budget can do it. And you can very easily ruin the film if you improperly load it, handle it or even store it (color negative film does not like higher temperatures and it is best to store it in a fridge).

[@francobeyond]

You should create a device that can scan and copy/print really clearly an already existing polaroid picture. I have photos with my bf that turn out really good and I've always wanted to have to copies of it.

[@francobeyond]

Or can you print an already scanned film? Will it affect the quality? I'm really tempted to buy it, if ever that is possible.

[@kathleenborum]

Same I wish I could recreate my polaroids too. I hope they create that feature in the future!

[@YmarieP1]

They could probably add the feature to the app and make it possible on this device… instead of adding the photos from the phone to the device, add photos to your phone through the app using the device??

[@caillin1760]

[@dieg05antana]

Oh, ok :)

[@plasticonegro]

I was looking to see if Polaroid released a printer like the Hi·Print, but for 600/i-type paper, since I prefer that format more than the Wide of the Instax (Fujifilm) printer. I see an ad for one that looks like that, it says "Transform digital photos from your phone into real life Polaroid photographs"... I get really excited, ready to buy it... And I find a camera that takes pictures of your phone screen , and that's what you get on paper... 😵‍💫 I mean, Polaroid does THIS, and yet doesn't release a NORMAL printer to just get the prints from the native file. I must be very confused with the logic of marketing. So to buy the Instax.

[@deliriousdemons0119]

Yeah this is literally how I just came across this printer, I wanted a printer that fit the i-type / 600 film type that you can print photos from your phone, but this is just taking pictures of your phone screen to then print? Weird lol... I just want a printer with that film format style..

[@thomasdudley4558]

[@analisawilson1530]

Does anyone have any advice on how to make the lab print not so warm pictures? I have tried printing in the dark and refrigerating the film before use, even fresh out of the fridge it comes out super warm. Do I need to bump up the exposure?

Can the color film be removed to put the black and white one without being finished? Thank s

No, or the top photo in the pack would be exposed to light and ruined. once you put a new pack in you are committed to that pack until you print all 8 photos. Save your money and buy an Fujifilm instax printer at 1/3 the cost, easier to use, and higher quality results.
