Polaroid Print Copier Model 2401

This device is intended to copy Polaroid images taken by a Polaroid Land Camera model 110 or 110A. It is essentially a scanner, with the camera that takes the scans separate from the scanner. This box contains a flash, a timer, and a mounting point to hold the camera and original photograph exactly in place. The exposure time of the copy is much longer than for the original image. Images that were taken under- or over-exposed can be fixed in copying by exposing for different amounts of time. The manual reccomends an exposure time of up to 25 seconds to improve a very under-exposed image, and an exposure time as little as 4 seconds to slightly darken an over-exposed image. The contrast of the copy can be decreased by decreasing the development time from 1 minute to 45 seconds.
