1 8K Series ProPalette Description

The Polaroid 8K Series ProPalette models are a family of digital, photographic-quality

printers designed for the mid-range/professional color film recorder market. Operating

with either Windows or Macintosh platforms, they are ideal for mini-labs, audio-visual

departments, professional photographers and anyone else requiring detailed output,

faithfully rendered by a reliable, easy-to-operate film recorder.

The 8K Series ProPalette models include the following:

• Model 8035

• Model 8045

• Model 8067

Model 8035 Description

As implied by its designation, the Model 8035 uses a 35mm camera. The camera is

manufactured to Polaroid specifications by Ricoh. It produces 35mm format positive

(chrome) and negative (print) images.

The Model 8035 (Figure 1-1) provides professional quality, continuous-tone 35mm color

negatives and transparencies with up to 8192 horizontal and 5460 vertical pixels

resolution. The Model 8035 uses a 35mm camera which has a 43.53mm, f/6, six element

lens. Positive, negative and instant 35mm film can be used and a bulk roll film adapter is

available for high-volume applications.

Figure 1-1. 8K Series ProPalette Model 8035

8K Series ProPalette Repair Manual Description

The standard 35mm camera back automatically loads, counts exposures, and rewinds at

the end of each roll of film. (There is an option for early rewind.) System setup and status

is indicated via the 20-character, 2-line LCD panel.

Model 8035 can be expanded to produce 4x5 or 6x7 images through the purchase of

accessory camera backs. (Adding the camera backs also requires factory realignment.)

Model 8045 Description

The 8K Series ProPalette Model 8045 (Figure 1-2) produces professional quality,

continuous-tone 4 x 5 images with up to 8192 horizontal and 6370 vertical pixels

resolution. The Model 8045 uses a 4x5 camera which has a 101mm, f/6.7, six element

lens. Positive, negative and instant 4 x 5 film can be used. System setup and status is

indicated via the 20-character, 2-line LCD panel.

Figure 1-2. 8K Series ProPalette Model 8045

Model 8045 includes a 35mm camera back which can replace the 4 x 5 camera back to

produce 35mm images. Additionally, Model 8045 can be expanded to produce 6 x 7

images through the purchase of the accessory 6 x 7 camera back. (Adding the camera

back also requires factory realignment.)

8K Series ProPalette Repair Manual Description

Model 8067 Description

The Model 8067 (Figure 1-3) offers professional quality, continuous-tone 6 x 7 cm

images with up to 8182 horizontal and 6702 vertical pixels resolution. The Model 8067

uses a 6x7 camera which has a 74mm, f/5.5, six element lens. Positive and negative 6 x 7

film can be used. System setup and status is indicated via the 20-character, 2-line LCD

panel.

Figure 1-3. 8K Series ProPalette Model 8067

Model 8067 includes a 35mm camera back which can replace the 6 x 7 camera back to

produce 35mm images. Additionally, Model 8067 can be expanded to produce 4 x 5

images through the purchase of the accessory 4 x 5 camera back. (Adding the camera

back also requires factory realignment.)

8K Series ProPalette Factory Optimization

All 8K Series ProPalette film recorder models (8035, 8045, 8067) are factory-optimized

and matched to a specific camera during manufacture. Using a Polaroid Digital

Alignment Station at the factory assures that image quality, sizing, sharpness, location,

geometry and color saturation are all at peak level. These critical alignments result in

ideal match-ups between recorder and camera.

This process results in a film recorder with the highest level of precision which achieves

unprecedented image quality right out of the box. Each ProPalette model produces higher

resolution images than other film recorders in its product category.

Film Recorder Optics

The 8K Series ProPalette film recorders have a high-resolution, precision 7-inch CRT

with a proprietary anti-reflection and anti-static coating to render superb image sharpness

and purity. They also utilize custom optics with six element glass lenses and glass

dichroic filters to minimize spot size and maximize color saturation.

8K Series ProPalette Repair Manual Description

Electronics

Auto-Luma /Auto-Chroma digital circuits automatically adjust brightness, luminance and

color balance. Digital geometry correction provides exacting straight lines and perfect

circles and eliminates pin cushioning, barreling and keystoning. Dynamic focus circuits

adjust the focus of the electron beam to assure consistent sharpness and clarity over the

entire image area. The system’s electronics adjust the focus of each image on the CRT

and use custom lookup tables for horizontal and vertical planes.

The 8K Series ProPalette provides 8000-line, continuously variable resolution for

recording images in their native, scanned resolution. This eliminates the image

degradation exhibited at lower resolutions and the need for time-consuming image

interpolation and decimation. The 8K Series ProPalette models are also designed for fast

printing: exposing a 35mm image at 4096 dpi requires less than 60 seconds.

The finished product is a 24-bit image with 36-bit color depth per pixel and 16.8 million

colors drawn from a palette of 68 billion colors. This results in smooth, ramped

backgrounds and accurate colors.

System Status LCD Panel

A 20-character, two line interactive LCD panel on the film recorder guides the user

through setup and also provides system status information during operation. A control

panel with a push-button menu system allows the user to send commands to the recorder.

Status/command functions are provided in choice of five languages and include:

• Storage of all setups in permanent

memory

• Image pixel dimensions displayed during

green exposure

• Firmware version and update status

• Automatic load/unload film status

• Detection of film jams/mis-thread

• Frames counted and frames available for

exposure

• Red/green/blue pass in progress

• Rewind film/advance film/remove

film/abort exposure

• Pacing indicators and waiting for host

warnings

• Previous error storage and information

retrieval

• Circuit board version information

• Unit serial number

• Calibration in progress

• SCSI ID, SCSI terminate settings

• Leader/no-leader selection

• Out-of film detection by end of roll or

frame count

8K Series ProPalette Repair Manual Description

Ports

The 8K Series ProPalette models have four ports (Figure 1-4):

• Centronics parallel

• Synchronization IEEE 1284 style

• SCSI-1

• RJ-11 serial (available to service personnel only)

Figure 1-4. ProPalette Ports

Software and Interface Accessory Kits

The software provided in the Windows and Macintosh accessory kits is designed

specifically for ProPalette film recorders. Accessory kits are purchased separately.

ColorTune software matches the image seen on the computer monitor to the final image

created by the Propalette. This allows the user to perform more accurate previewing when

making adjustments to color and tone scale. ColorTune also enables the user to customize

film look-up tables to their individual workstation to obtain specific results.

Palette Export, an Adobe Photoshop export plug-in module allows printing directly from

Photoshop to produce continuous tone images quickly and simply.

The recorders can be networked with Palette for Windows (including Windows 95,

Windows 98, and Windows NT) and Palette for Macintosh. These software kits include

RasterPlus drivers.

All 8K ProPalette software has been tested for year-2000 compliance.

Accessory kits also include the appropriate cables for connecting the ProPalette film

recorder to Windows or Macintosh platforms.

The accessory kits are described in more detail in the following sections. For the PID

number associated with each kit, see Table 1-1 on page 17.
