Title: Vivitar Instant Slide Printer
Post by: Andrew Bartram on March 27, 2012, 09:34:22 PM: Having gotten into Instant Photography last summer, and spending way way too much on old polaroid film, IMP stuff and Fuji 100 and 3000 my latest toy is a Vivitar Instant Slide Printer.
Using FP100c needs a 2 x ND gel in place and then the exposure turned way down but I love the results...

Anyone else have one of these?

I've moved your post to the main forum - hope you don't mind.

We seem to have a glut of interest on these type of things recently. Here are a couple of links:

Here is a set on Flickr

DMS - Great set of PT's BTW

I believe that the Daylabs had negative carriers that you could use. And if they don't, because of the way they are almost like an enlarger, I'm sure you could make a crrier of some sort.

And if not, just buy a few cardboard mounts and put the film in them (even of only temporarily).

Post by: Miller on April 17, 2012, 07:33:46 PM: I used the standard slide holder to hold the negs with the DayLab but it was hit and miss if it was aligned as the preview was cr4p... This neg was shot a few moon ago... Rgds Mlr
