Jacquard SolarFast Dye – Purple – Light-Sensitive Sun Printing Color (4oz & 8oz)

Jacquard SolarFast is a light-sensitive dye that develops and fixes only when exposed to sunlight or UV light — no heat or chemicals needed.
Use it to create sun prints, photograms, and shadow images on paper or fabric, turning sunlight into artistic expression. 🌌

Paint your surface, place your negatives, lace, or translucent objects, and let the light reveal delicate, layered tones.
SolarFast is odorless, non-toxic, and safe for kids, leaving fabrics soft and papers smooth — perfect for mixed media and fine art work.

The Purple shade develops gradually, from soft lavender to deep violet, depending on exposure and material. Its subtle shifts make it ideal for creative layering and atmospheric prints.
