Slide projection
Polaroid AutoProcess slides can be viewed or projected in the same manner as 35mm
slides made with conventional films. The following are some recommendations to help
you get the most out of your slides:
For standard projection
1. A glass-beaded screen will produce the brightest image. Be sure the projection screen
is clean. Follow the manufacturer?s recommendations for removing dust, smudges,
etc. Note: Some lenticular screens may produce objectionable patterns at certain
distances with Polachrome (color) slides.
2. Use a modern, light-efficient projector equipped with a fast, flat-field projection lens
of a suitable focal length.
3. Darken the room.
If Polaroid AutoProcess slides are to be projected to auditorium-size (larger than 10 ft.,
for example), a xenon-bulb projection system should be used. Slides also can be viewed
in rear-screen projectors, in situations where room-darkening is not practical. These
portable, self-contained units project a bright, 9-inch image, which is ideal for small
group presentations.
