Around 2013, I became the proud owner of a Polaroid Digital Palette CI-5000 film recorder.
Manufactured in 1992, this wonderful machine uses the combined power of CRTs, film photography and 90s computing to output images from your PC to a film format of your choice, in glorious 4K-ish resolution!
Neato!
However, resources and info on these are few and far between, and that's to say nothing about the machines themselves...
So, I've been on a project to collect and learn as much about these as possible, with a view to preserving them well into the future!

Resources
My Palette came with a whole bunch of adapters, as well as various manuals and marketing materials, so here's some links to those!
Here's a list of the various film backs available for the Palette
and here's some (incomplete) documentation that was included
Also, here's the software that came in the box with mine!
Finally, here's some '90s Polaroid marketing materials and sample images from RasterPlus95, just for fun!
Guides
Here's a couple of guides I've written for getting my Palette working on modern hardware.
So far, I've modified the Palette's original drivers to work as a networked printer on modern Windows;
and here's how you pass through a parallel/LPT port to a Win98 VM on Proxmox VE, so you can run RasterPlus95 on modern hardware;
I'll be adding more as I work things out and write them up, so watch this space!
