SolarFast: Sunlight-developed dyes for paper and natural fabrics

SolarFast dyes are used to create photograms, continuous tone photographs, shadow prints, and ombrès on fabric and paper. SolarFast is also great for painting, tie dyeing, screen printing, stamping, batik and more!

Shake well before use. Apply SolarFast to fabric or paper using a brush, sponge or brayer. While still damp, expose the design to sunlight and watch the color magically appear! Place objects on coated substrate to block development during exposure. Any object that casts a shadow will create a pattern. Use a film negative to create permanent photographs on paper or fabric. After exposure, wash out undeveloped dye with SolarFast Wash and hot water, agitating vigorously. Machine washing is recommended for textiles. Color development is not complete until after washing.

SolarFast thins and cleans up with water.

For screen printing applications, use SolarFast Thickener.

SolarFast is a dye, which means it is transparent, which means the fabric you are using must be lighter than the dye. White works best. Other light or pale colors will also work well. But the dye will not show up on dark or black fabric...

I've been slowly getting interested in fabric printing at home, and now I live in a great place to do that. This video has inspired me, and I'm going to check out the product to aide in this.

It would be great to have some kind of Solarfast discharge product that removes color under the sun. It would allow to dye dark clothes using only the printed negative.

Is it ESSENTIAL to use the solarwash when putting it in the washing machine? - will the development not work if I don’t use it?

Do you HAVE to use the Solarfast Film or will other ink jet transparency, like Pictorico or Arista II, work as well?
