Jacquard Solarfast Dye, Sun Activated Ink for Light Sensitive Printmaking, Develops Colour on Fabric or Paper Crafts Using Sunlight, Scarlet, 8oz

• SUNLIGHT ACTIVATED COLOUR DEVELOPMENT: Harness the power of UV light to develop rich, vibrant Scarlet hues on fabric and paper. This light sensitive dye remains colourless indoors, allowing for precise application and setup before taking your project outside into sunlight or under a UV lamp for exposure. The process creates detailed photographic prints, shadows, and patterns without heat setting, steaming, or chemical fixers, simplifying your printmaking workflow.
• VERSATILE APPLICATION ON NATURAL FIBRES: Works on all natural fibres including cotton, linen, silk, wool, and canvas, plus paper and wood. Apply the Solarfast dye with a brush, sponge, or brayer to create a wide range of artistic effects. Ideal for creating photograms, shadow prints, and sun paintings for unique textile art, paper crafts, and mixed media projects. The smooth consistency ensures even coverage for clear, defined results on various absorbent surfaces.
• SIMPLIFIED PROCESS AND EASY CLEAN UP: This single-component dye is ready to use directly from the bottle, eliminating complex mixing or preparation steps. After exposure to sunlight, the undeveloped dye washes out easily with water and SolarFast Wash, leaving behind a sharp, permanent design. The water-based formulation makes cleaning tools and surfaces straightforward with just soap and water before the dye is exposed to UV light, which saves time in your creative process.
• CREATES LIGHTFAST AND PERMANENT RESULTS: Once developed and washed, the dye forms a permanent bond with the fibres, ensuring your designs are wash-fast and resistant to fading from light exposure. The colour becomes part of the fabric rather than sitting on the surface, which preserves the soft, natural hand of the material. This makes it a reliable choice for wearable art, quilts, and home decor items that require laundering. Conforms to ASTM D-4236.
• ONE 8OZ BOTTLE FOR MULTIPLE PROJECTS: This 236ml (8oz) bottle provides a generous amount of Scarlet dye for numerous small to medium-sized projects. For creating photographic prints, use SolarFast Film to print a negative and place it on the coated surface before exposure. The dye's viscosity is also suitable for screen printing applications. The concentrated formula offers extensive coverage, making it an economical option for artists, students, and crafters.
