My continuing testing with the two packs I bought on Friday at the Photographers' Gallery, London, UK.

Thanks, Heather. Very interesting. Keep us posted with your further progress.

Cheers,

No, not interested in self-destructive prints

Am sure you're only joking, but you do know that you can 'freeze' the colour change at any time?

Yes but I don't like ripping apart the integral polaroids and I've found a few accounts of the "special" films not being quite as light stable (like ArtisticTZ's colours changing over the course of a week or a month).
As it is, this stuff seems to very slightly change over the course of 24hours sometimes.

He or She is not joking. They had a film that after 24 hours the image fades to nothing. The only way to get the image back after it is lost was to put it in the sun. There were some ways that you could peel apart the film and stop it. You can buy it here. http://shop.the-impossible-project.c...70_1_1009_fade

Don't worry, I'm not getting the new PX 100 mixed up with 'Fade to Black'. As Heather had posted helpful advice on testing PX 100 I just thought I'd ask for her experience of 'Fade to Black' too!

My point was that you can 'stop' the fade of 'Fade to Black' and fix a final print when you reach the degree of darkening / colour change you are after...

If you want a developing (bad pun alert!) look at users experience of PX 100, keep checking here:

There seems to be a learning curve with using this film, and it seems to be quite sensitive to temperature etc. Am looking forward to experimenting when the film arrives...
