Jacquard SolarFast Dyes for Sunprint Making, various colours

Art with the power of sun!

About this product:

• SolarFast dyes only develop color and become permanent upon exposure to sunlight (UV);
• This unique property means SolarFast may be used to create remarkably detailed photographs, photograms and shadow-prints on paper or fabric by harnessing the power of the sun;
• Anything you place on the painted surface to block the light will create a printed impression in a matter of minutes, whether a solid object (toys, tools, plants, lace, etc.), a photographic negative (an image digitally printed onto a transparency) or shadow (from folds in the fabric or a 3D object);
• SolarFast dyes are also great for painting, tie dyeing, screen printing, stamping, batik and more — no heat setting, chemical or steam fixing necessary;
• The dye leaves fabric completely soft to the touch;
• On paper, it has zero relief and will not affect the texture of the surface whatsoever, making it a powerful tool for mixed-media arts;
• Suitable for all natural fibers, including: cotton, linen, canvas, silk, hemp, wood, rag papers and more;
• Volume – 118.29 ml;
• Made in the USA.

How is it used?

• Apply SolarFast to fabric or paper using a brush, sponge, brayer or squeegee. While still damp, expose the design to sunlight and watch the color magically appear!
• Place objects on the coated surface prior to exposing to block development and create photograms. Any object that casts a shadow will create an image.
• Use a film negative to create permanent photographs on paper or fabric. Prints are washable and lightfast.
