Overview

The Polaroid I-Type Color Film Black Frame Edition puts a bold visual twist on classic instant photography. Each of the 8 exposures in a pack is surrounded by a matte black border instead of the iconic white frame, giving your prints a modern, gallery-style look that makes colors pop with added contrast. The film itself uses Polaroid's standard i-Type color chemistry, producing the warm, slightly unpredictable tones that instant photography enthusiasts love — every shot carries its own unique texture and character that's impossible to replicate digitally.

This film is designed for Polaroid's current i-Type camera lineup, including the Polaroid Now, Now+, and the Polaroid Lab printer. Because i-Type film does not include a built-in battery (unlike legacy 600 film), it is not compatible with older Polaroid 600 cameras. For best results, Polaroid recommends shooting in bright, well-lit conditions or using your camera's flash, as the film is sensitive to available light. After the photo ejects, shield it from light and place it face down — full development takes 10 to 15 minutes. Storing unused packs in the refrigerator (never the freezer) helps maintain chemical freshness and consistent color reproduction over time.

Key Features

Frame your moments in bold, matte black. This i-Type Color film Black Frame Edition makes each color pop with 8 photos in every pack.

LIGHT IT UP: Polaroid Instant Film loves light. The more light in your shot, the better your photo will turn out. Always shoot in bright light or use the camera flash.

DEVELOP: All photos appear blank at first. Photos develop within 15 minutes. Shield photos from the light and place them face down as they develop.

CREATE: Every photo you create is rich textured and unique. Unpredictable, imperfect, and impossible to reproduce.

STORE CHILLED: Temperature affects how the film works so keep it stored chilled in the fridge, do not freeze.
