SolarFast

Description

SolarFast sunlight-developed dyes are used to create photograms, photographs and sun prints on paper and fabric. Used with a hand-drawn or inkjet-printed negative, SolarFast allows you to create fully detailed photographs with a complete tonal range on a T-shirt or artist paper. SolarFast is a true dye that is also great for painting, tie dyeing, screen printing, stamping, batik and more. No heat setting, chemical or steam fixing necessary--just apply the dye and set it in sunlight (or artificial UV light) and watch the color develop! The dye is odorless and makes a great activity for children.
