Are there any 'Polaroid like' positive alternatives for 8x10 or larger?

Are there any 'Polaroid like' positive alternatives for 8x10 or larger, preferably colour but probably B+W?

I would like to shoot 'one off' or 'unique' images similar to Polaroid or Fuji instant prints but these are no longer available in 8x10 so I'm wondering if there are any 'positive' film or similar alternatives? Maybe there are some old techniques that give a postive image that can be mounted/backlit for example.

I don't want to process/print film although this would potentially be cheaper and easier. The entire purpose is to create 'one off' images.

Thanks in advance.

You can try and shoot the positive paper by efke. I believe Freestyle carries it.

Color transparencies -- "one off", and send them off to be processed. Almost as easy as Polaroids, and probable about the same costs (just a guess).

Display in light boxes/frames, perhaps? Plus you have the ability to make high-quality copies (scanning the transparency).

True, I was looking for some thing more DIY, that didn't have to be processed externally like tranny film. But yes, it's certainly 'one off'.

Some thing like the Efke paper or maybe a similar old process that gives a positive print or image is the kind of thing I'm after.

Harman Direct Positive papers

The Impossible 8x10 will be here in not too long... wait.

The Impossible Project stuff is a scam based on the rip-off worthless crap film they sold me. If they make it, it will cost $50 a sheet and fade to mud in 20 minutes.

A little bit luxury.

Integral film is a lot harder to make than peel-apart... My guess is that their 8x10 stuff will be much better than any of their integral products (which are slowly improving)

Okay -- you said "I don't want to process/print film..." so if you don't want to get your hands wet, there is not much else.

POP paper would be your next option if it was still available.
