Films & Instant Photo Paper: FAQ

How do I ensure the film fits my camera model?

Always verify the specific series name like 'Mini', 'Square', or 'Wide' in the product title. Check the camera's rear door or manual to match the exact film dimensions required to avoid mechanical jams.

How can I verify the freshness of the film stock?

Look for listings that show photos of the packaging or explicitly state the 'Best Before' date in the description. High-rated sellers on AliExpress usually rotate stock quickly to ensure chemical stability and vibrant development.

What specs indicate long-lasting photo quality?

Choose films with UV-resistant coatings or Zink technology for smudge-proof and water-resistant results. Check for 'archival quality' labels to ensure your photos won't fade when exposed to light over time.

Will the film be damaged by X-rays during international shipping?

Most modern shipping routes use low-dose scanners that don't affect standard ISO 800 film, but you can message the seller to request 'X-ray sensitive' labeling. Ensure the seller uses rigid boxes to prevent pressure marks on the film sheets.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
ISO Rating Match
Ensure the film speed matches your lighting conditions; ISO 800 is the standard for the most versatile indoor and outdoor instant photography results.
✓
Development Technology
Distinguish between chemical-based development (Instax/Polaroid) and Zero Ink (Zink) technology to match your specific printer or camera hardware.
✓
Bulk Pack Efficiency
Buying in bulk packs of 20, 50, or 100 sheets significantly reduces the cost per print compared to single packs on AliExpress.
✓
Finish and Texture
Choose between glossy for vibrant colors or matte for a classic, non-reflective look depending on your specific artistic preference.
