Light spot on Daylab 35 transfers

greenspun.com : LUSENET : polaroid transfers : One Thread

Hey there!

Got another one for you.... I seem to get a spot on my transfers. I am pretty sure it is from the little light flash burning into one spot of the polaroid. I was wondering if anyone has any solutions or if any one has taken apart their daylab... somehow make that light more even..

Thanks much

Scott

Putting your finger or thumb in the center of the film cartridge while loading your film can put a spot on your transfers too - all prints can be affected. Check the diagram on the foil wrapped around the film.

Your Daylab may have a light leak. Call the Polaroid tech hotline (800) 225-1618. There's a way to determine if your Daylab is leaking light. I think (if I'm recalling correctly) that you pull out a sheet of film withoug hitting the exposure button. If there's light splotches on the film, then you have a light leak. But check with a Polaroid tech for the exact method.
