I've checked the archives and the net and find no carriers for wet Polaroid prints - so I'm making one for my own use. Any source for an item like this that will keep wet Polaroids from touching each other?

Any one have a guess as to how many folks there are in the world who are doing Polaorid sheet film work, either for pleasure or for hire - i.e. how many of us are there? and what might be the numerical market that Polaroid serves with its sheet film segment?

Are the Polaroid corporate blues about over, or are they just beginning? For how long does anyone speculate that Polaroid sheet film will still be available?

My impression is that most Polaroid sheetfilm is used commercially by people making test exposures of compositions that they wish to photograph on large-format color film. Therefore, they don't need to handle the prints very carefully, and have not needed a transporter for them.

Others, like me, use the material for small product photographs indoors, and can simply allow the prints to dry on a tabletop.

I also am curious about Polaroid's survival prospects. I still claim that "Type 59" with a "545" back on a "Speed Graphic" is faster and more straightforward than any digital camera (you don't need a printer), but the world does not seem to agree with me.
