When I was fortunate enough to run a Configuration Center for a computer company, I was taught Japanese manufacturing techniques. The word Kaisen was used often. Loosely translated it meant constant improvement.
This is something the new Polaroid has been doing now for a few years.
Had a chance to shoot with a pack of Polaroid iType Black and White from 2023.
Total crap.
Blurry, poor shades, uneven emulsion, took about 5 minutes to get something to look at, etc...
Same shot taken with the same Polaroid iType Black and White from 2024
Big improvement
It takes about 15 seconds for something of the image to appear although you are still required to shield it from light, thus some of the magic of seeing it appear before your eyes is still missed.
The cool thing is that this film is somewhat predictable and provides some good results.
Kudo's to the Polaroid folks for continuing to improve the product.
When they get to a point where the original Polaroid Corporation Time Zero film was at, they will then finally see a tremendous growth.
