In 2008, Polaroid ceased producing their signature instant film. There was enough stock to last somewhere into 2009. When it was gone, it was gone. The company folded and all the trade secrets were lost with it.
No one knows how to duplicate Polaroid instant colour photos. The original technology was lost ... that itself seems impossible but it happened less than 10 years ago.
The old cameras are easy to come by. Every thrift store has one or two.
But the film has been re-invented (from scratch) by The Impossible Project. They've done their best ... but it's not the same. And not as good as the original technology that Mr. Land invented and perfected.
