Impossible Project announces 8x10 instant film coming summer 2012...

Peel-apart Polaroid was, but not the instant SX-70-type direct-positive stuff. Isn't that what the Impossible Project produces?

Yeah, integral is a much different beast than peel-apart... With peel-apart, you stop development by ripping the developer from the print. With integral, you're relying on a chemical reaction to slow and eventually stop development with no intervention.

The New55 project is stuck in a Catch-22. They can't move forward with production until they have money, but they can't make money until they have a product to sell. Bob has mentioned that he doesn't want to do Kickstarter for some reason, so short of divine intervention, I'm not sure what the plan is.

Honestly, if he just got a better website instead of a Blogspot blog, they could probably raise enough money via preorders in under a week. Time to pay a college kid $2000 to make a nice eCommerce site.

Send me that college kid and the money too if you can. Seriously, this is not a kickstarter thing. Websites don't make products. The investment goes to the ability to manufacture the product, not the order fulfillment. We're not stuck at all as there is plenty going on.

Bob, that's good to hear! I'm sure you're aware that there's a large collection of people who are anxious to give you money! Best of luck.

Now if they would make 4x5 and the smaller packfiln they'd be perfect

No, what would be perfect is if Fuji continued to make FP100c45. And brought the price more in line with their smaller FP100c film.

FWIW, I found a nice video from Mat Marrash about operating the
Calumet 8x10 processor:

I looked at their website and came away confused if it is peel-apart or SX-70 type. All their other film is for sure, but the 8x10 examples they are showing looked like peel-apart film. This is made in a different new machine the got from a US factory.

It doesn't even look *that* good. better off with expired real polaroid 8x10 film.
