Create 35mm color slides from a PowerPoint Presentation

HR-6000 Polaroid Digital Palette

Film Recommendations

In order to print slides, you will need to bring in a roll of 24 or 36 exposure 35mm slide film. Using ISO 200 speed film will yield acceptable results, however Polaroid recommends using ISO 100 35mm slide film for best results, as it is comparable to the processing speed of the film recorder. ISO 400 speed film is not recommended and will usually result in grainy slides.

Supported software

Microsoft Powerpoint 2000 on Windows and Powerpoint 98 on Macintosh.

The following procedure is recommended for high quality 35mm slide film output:

Loading the Film

Load the 35mm slide film cassette into the camera back of the HR6000 Digital Palette.

Pull the end of the film out gently from the cassette and make sure that one or two of the sprocket holes of the film are engaged with the sprockets within the camera backing and that the film is flat. The end of the film should be aligned with the red mark.

Close the door, you should hear a click.

The film will advance automatically. You will hear the motor advancing the film and the red indicator light should be blinking.
