Jacquard SolarFast is a light-sensitive dye that develops and fixes only after exposure to sunlight or UV light.
With this magical property, you can create unique sun prints, photograms, and shadow images on fabric or paper, turning sunlight into your creative tool. 🌤️

Coat your surface and place objects, negatives, or leaves on top. Anything that blocks the light will leave a delicate, detailed mark within minutes.
SolarFast requires no heat or chemicals, is odorless, non-toxic, and safe for kids, leaving fabric soft and paper smooth — perfect for mixed-media art.

The Blue shade develops gradually, evoking calmness and atmosphere. Its tones resemble the ocean, the sky, or light through glass — the most ethereal color in the SolarFast range.

👉 Features:

  • Available in 4oz (118ml) & 8oz (236ml)
  • UV- and sunlight-reactive dye
  • No heat or fixers required
  • Suitable for fabric, paper, wood & natural fibers
  • Odorless, non-toxic & safe for kids
  • Maintains the natural softness of surfaces

🕓 Exposure time:
Approx. 12–25 minutes in full sunlight or 25–40 minutes under soft UV light.
Blue develops gradually — longer exposure creates deeper, more atmospheric tones.

👍 Great for:

  • Cyanotype-style prints
  • Botanical & shadow compositions
  • Art journaling & educational projects
  • Mixed-media and textile art

🌱 Creative Tip:
Work with translucent materials — lace, dried flowers, or fine fabrics. Blue SolarFast captures the dance between light and shadow, leaving soft, poetic traces.
