Impossible proudly presents: ist first, brand new instant film materials.
PX Silver Shade is a fresh, monochrome film for traditional Polaroid cameras. This unconventional material delivers
breathtaking images with an iridiscent tone range from b&w to sepia, depending on light conditions and temperature.
PX Silver Shade films also allow various artistic manipulation techniques.
Please carefully read the following information for optimized and most balanced results.
If you should encounter any unexpected problems or issues with the PX Silver Shade films please refer to our
frequently asked questions section at: http://www.the-impossible-project.com/allabout/pxfilm

With appropriate adjustment of the exposure settings it is also compatible for usage in all 600 series cameras.
PX 600 Silver Shade + Polaroid 600 Camera
The PX 600 Silver Shade has 600 ASA (film speed) and is optimized for usage in 600 cameras and SX70 cameras
equipped with a ND filter.
INSTRUCTIONS
9 Quick Steps for optimal results
1. Choose the right film and put it into your camera
2. For your first photos shoot at 17-24°C / 63-75°F as the PX film is very sensitive to temperature
3. Set the camera's lighten/darken wheel to middle setting
4. Hold camera stable, especially at low light levels
5. Make the first magic shot
6. Shield picture from light immediately (cover with your hand)
7. Develop the picture upside down for ca. 2 minutes
8. Take a deep breath, turn the picture over and inhale your very first PX Silver Shade shot
9. Store your PX 600 pictures cold and protected from light , to prevent fading contrast and colour changes
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Shield from Light
The emulsion of the PX Silver Shade films is not 100% light-proof immediately after
exposure, therefore it is recommended to shield the developing picture from bright
light sources.
When the analogue picture exits your camera after its exposure, do immediately shield
the picture from light by
- putting it into a pocket or box pocket or box
- putting the face of the picture upside down
- shielding it with the darkslide
Develop for 2 minutes.
Careful with temperature
The chemistry of the PX Silver Shade films is very sensitive to
temperature.
For most balanced results it is recommended to provide a medium room
temperature of 17-24°C (63-75°F)
- In extreme cold (10°C and below), the image will become very
light, quickly resulting in almost white tones, erasing most
contrast. Use with caution.
- In extreme heat (27°C and above), the image will turn very dark
and change to reddish, orange, and yellowish shades of extreme
contrast
TIP:
When shooting in extreme temperatures, you can put the image in your pocket to warm it when out in the cold and
keep it in the shade or via dark plasticbag in cool water to avoid too much heat when in hot surroundings
Set camera's lighten/darken wheel to middle setting
The PX Silver Shade films are very sensitive to adjustments of the
camera's lighten/darken wheel.
Do always put it to the middle setting for most balanced and optimized
results.
- Changing the wheel's position into the lighter area will result in
overexposed pictures.
- Changing the wheel's position into the daker area will result in
underexposed pictures.
Don't hesitate to manipulate
The PX Silver Shade film materials are manipulable just like original Polaroid SX70 film. You can perform the
traditional manipulation technique, image transfers as well as emulsion lifts with it.

The production of Impossible Instant Film is a highly sensitive process that may cause variations in the characteristic
of materials produced in different production runs. Therefore we print the specific date as well as the production
machine code on each Impossible film packing. Applying proper storage conditions easily enables usage for at least 2
years, whereby certain characteristica again may alter over time.
