beginner 8x10 polaroid questions

[andrew_roesner]

hello everyone. i've become interested in trying some polaroid image

transfers and would like to try using some of my chromes. i've read

holly dupre's pdf and many of the relevent posts here and i have a

few questions.

 

first i'd like to know if one can contact print a 5x7 chrome on type

809 paper? anyone tried it? and what about putting the negative in

your regular enlarging easel instead of the film holder to expose it?

i've learned that in addition to the 8x10 film holder i'll need a

polaprinter. i've seen the kind that uses the loading tray and film

holder together, and i've also seen what's called a slide printer

that will print a 35mm slide on 8x10. does this device also need a

film holder to opperate and will it process the 8x10 film? if so,

will it process without having to make an exposure in the machine?

 

im going to the store tomorrow to get some type 669 to try in the

hasselblad. i think this might be way too much fun, thanks for the

help!

The Polaprinter slide printer uses a film holder and the processing is done in a seperate processor.
