Sounds like you may need to give more exposure (especially if you are
doing 8x10 transfers) or pull the negative from the positive Polaroid
print a bit later. ( I try to peel the smaller pack film apart about 5
-7 seconds after it leaves the Polaroid back.) Both of these should
reduce the amount of image to be transferred and result in a lighter
final transferred positive image.

i'm currently working on a series of polaroid
transfers. with the exception of one work session,
i'm consiste ntly getting transfers (wet OR dry) that
are just too dark--they don't even look like the
straight p rints. i've tried changes in temperature
and filtration (using a borrowed daylab, jr) but
nothing seems to work, and i'm tired of wasting film.
carr's e xcellent polaroid transfer book offers no
suggestions.

any ideas? i need to finish this project ASAP, and i'm
at my wit's end.

thanks!
devra
