Jacquard Products Solarfast Dye Sepia for Paper and Fabric 8oz

CREATE PRINTS WITH SUNLIGHT: Develop permanent, photographic-quality images on fabric or paper using only the sun. This light-sensitive dye activates its colour when exposed to UV light, which simplifies the process for artists and crafters. Place objects on the coated surface to create detailed shadow prints, photograms, or use a film negative for full pictures. FOR NATURAL FABRICS AND PAPER: This water-based ink is formulated for use on all natural fibres, including cotton, linen, silk, and hemp, as well as on most types of uncoated paper. Apply the dye directly from the bottle with a brush, sponge, or brayer. Its consistency also makes it suitable for screen printing, stamping, and block printing techniques before sun exposure. EASY TO USE AND CLEAN: SolarFast dye is ready to use directly from the bottle with no mixing required. After sunlight exposure, the undeveloped dye washes out with SolarFast Wash and hot water in a machine or by hand, leaving a soft-to-the-touch finish on textiles. Unused dye can be returned to its container, and tools clean up with just water. DELIVERS PERMANENT, WASH-FAST RESULTS: Once developed and washed correctly, the sepia brown colour is permanent and lightfast, resisting fading from subsequent washing and UV exposure. This ensures your artistic creations on t-shirts, quilts, and paper art maintain their appearance. The dye becomes an integral part of the fibre, preserving the natural feel of the material. EXPANDS ARTISTIC POSSIBILITIES: This dye offers a wide range of applications beyond simple sun printing. It can be used to create custom-coloured fabrics for sewing projects, unique stationery, or fine art prints. The colour intensity can be controlled by varying exposure times or by using a film negative to produce continuous-tone photographic prints on fabric or paper.
