Edwin H. Land conceived the Polaroid Instant Camera in 1943, when, on holiday, his daughter asked why she couldn’t see the photo of her he had just taken. In 2017, Polaroid is the name we associate with instant photography and film. Here we look into the brand and their latest products - the Polaroid Cube and both the Polaroid Snap Instant Digitial Cameras and Zip Printer - now on site.
Polaroid‘For 80 years, Polaroid has created the magic of instant with a track record of innovation, producing a unique experience that transcends photography.’
How do Polaroid cameras work?
Instant cameras like the classic Polaroid Spectraautomatically exposed the camera film to light and initiated the developing process inside the camera unit once the photo was taken.
The latest Polaroid Snap and Snap Touch instant cameras also expose and process photos internally, utilising the zero ink system, ‘Zink’. Zink printers print onto inkless, zinc thermal paper, which reacts to the duration and intensity of heat applied to it.

Without ink cartridges, modern Polaroids are truly compact and practical; the Polaroid Snap Touch is closer to Edward Land’s vision of a seamless and accessible camera experience for everyone than ever before.
Should I shake my Polaroid pictures?
Hey Ya! Shaking modern day Polaroid film as it develops might actually damage the image – if you do decide to shake it [like a Polaroid picture], don’t say we didn’t warn you! To celebrate the new range of Polaroid Snap Instant digital cameras on IWOOT, make sure to grab a free pack of filmon us!
