Jacquard Dye Solarfast Purple for Paper and Fabric – 8 oz

EFFORTLESS SUN-POWERED CREATIVITY: Achieve stunning photographic prints without heat setting, chemical fixers, or extensive equipment. Jacquard Solarfast dye develops its vibrant colour when exposed to sunlight, simplifying the art of fabric and paper printing. Simply apply the light-sensitive ink to your surface, place objects or a film negative on top, expose to UV light, and wash out the undeveloped dye to reveal your design. VERSATILE APPLICATION ON NATURAL SURFACES: Unleash your artistic vision on a wide range of materials. This dye works on all-natural fibres, including cotton, linen, silk, hemp, and wood, as well as paper and canvas. Ideal for creating custom t-shirts, unique artwork, photograms, and shadow prints. The water-based formula ensures a soft feel on textiles, leaving the fabric pliable and without the stiffness of some fabric paints. DELIVERS LIGHTFAST AND PERMANENT RESULTS: Create artwork designed for longevity. Once exposed to sunlight and washed, Solarfast colours become permanent and highly resistant to fading from subsequent UV exposure. The wash-out process removes all undeveloped dye, locking the colour into the fibres. This ensures your prints on clothing and textiles remain crisp and vibrant through use and washing, preserving the integrity of your original design. EXPANDS YOUR CREATIVE TECHNIQUES: Go beyond simple sun prints. This versatile, light-sensitive dye can be used for screen printing, block printing, and stamping, or applied directly with a brush. Use a film negative to create detailed photographic prints on fabric or paper. Thicken with a suitable agent (sold separately) for sharper screen printing results. This single dye opens up multiple avenues for textile and mixed-media art. SIMPLIFIES YOUR WORKFLOW AND CLEAN-UP: Spend more time creating and less time cleaning. The water-based formulation of Solarfast dye allows for simple clean-up with just water, eliminating the need for harsh solvents in your workspace. Any spills or excess dye on tools and screens can be washed away easily before exposure to sunlight, streamlining your creative process from start to finish. This bottle contains 8oz (236ml) of Purple dye.
