How a Polaroid Transfer Machine Works

Video Transcript

"Okay, so the Polaroid machine I'm using today is actually is a copy system. It's made both by Polaroid and by Copy System. Now this particular machine and there are quite a few of them that are out on the market and some are different. I like this machine because it lets me copy flat art which goes right here as opposed to other Polaroid transfer machine which makes images from slides. Slides, I love slides. Slide photography is probably one of the most beautiful tonally correct photography you could get out there but it's expensive and it's hard to do for amateurs to get a nicely exposed slide. So, what Copy System came up with was a way for anybody as long as they had a four by six flat image even something that you know you might've printed off of your computer, that you could still make Polaroid transfers with. So, this is an image. All I have to do is put it down on the screen here, cover it up and start testing to see how my image is going to look. I'm going to explain how to set an image up next."
