Jacquard Solarfast Sunlight (UV) Dye

8 oz (227g) Solarfast Sunlight (UV) Dye for paper and natural fabrics

SolarFast dyes only develop colour and become permanent upon exposure to sunlight (UV). This unique property means SolarFast may create remarkably detailed photographs, photograms and shadow-prints on paper or fabric by harnessing the sun's power! 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 is necessary. The dye leaves the 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.
