The Imaging World Polaroid Black & White i-Type Film 2-Pack

Polaroid Black & White i-Type Instant Film is a two-pack of monochrome instant film (8 exposures per pack) that delivers classic high-contrast, glossy square photos with white borders compatible with modern i-Type Polaroid cameras.

Capture timeless black-and-white instant prints with film formulated for Polaroid's i-Type systems. Each cartridge contains eight sheets that produce 3.1" x 3.1" square images framed by the traditional Polaroid white border. With a nominal ISO 640 sensitivity, these sheets favor brighter light and develop into rich tonal gradients, deep blacks and bright highlights in minutes. Store the film chilled before use and let it warm to room temperature prior to shooting for best performance.

How long until the black-and-white image appears and how should I handle it?

After exposure the image will slowly emerge; development typically completes within 5–15 minutes depending on temperature. During the initial minutes the emulsion is sensitive—avoid shaking or bending the photo and protect it from direct light.

• Expect visible changes within the first few minutes; full contrast solidifies by 15 minutes.
• Place prints face down or in subdued light while developing to avoid uneven exposure.
• Do not flex or press the emulsion layer while it sets.

Which cameras are supported and what about power?

This i-Type film is built without an internal battery and must be used in i-Type compatible cameras that supply their own power. It works with Polaroid ONESTEP 2, Polaroid NOW, Polaroid Lab and other modern Polaroid Originals devices designed for i-Type film—but it’s not compatible with older vintage models that require battery-powered cartridges.

• Compatible: Polaroid ONESTEP 2, Polaroid NOW, Polaroid Lab and similar i-Type cameras.
• Not compatible: vintage Polaroid models that need battery-backed film packs.
• Confirm your camera provides on-board battery/power before purchase.

What shooting conditions produce the best black-and-white instant photos?

Because this film is ISO 640, it performs best in well-lit scenes; natural light yields the cleanest tonal range. Indoor shots benefit from the camera flash to prevent underexposure, and moderate outdoor light—especially bright overcast to sunny conditions—creates strong contrast without loss of highlight detail.

• Use natural daylight or the camera’s flash for indoor portraits and details.
• Avoid extreme backlighting unless you want silhouette effects.
• For texture and grainy mood, try side lighting or slightly underexposed frames.

How should I store and prepare the film for shooting?

Keep unused film refrigerated (not frozen) to preserve chemistry and extend shelf life, then allow cartridges to reach typical room temperature—about 55–80°F—before loading and shooting. Temperature affects development speed and contrast, so warming chilled film before use helps ensure consistent results.

• Store cool in the fridge; do not freeze the packs.
• Remove from cold storage and wait 20–30 minutes to reach room temperature.
• If it’s cold outside, keep freshly exposed prints close to your body while they develop.

Who is this for: Photographers, hobbyists and anyone who loves analog-style instant photography and wants a reliable monochrome look from modern Polaroid i-Type systems. Choose this two-pack if you prefer the classic square format, high-contrast tones and tactile instant prints for creative projects, events, or everyday snapshots where every frame is unique.
