Jacquard SolarFast is a unique light-sensitive dye that develops color and fixes permanently only after exposure to sunlight or UV light.
This property allows you to harness the power of the sun to create detailed sun prints, photograms, and shadow images on fabric or paper — transforming light itself into an artistic medium.
Anything that blocks the light — an object, a photo negative, or even a shadow — will leave a detailed imprint within minutes, producing magical images full of tone and depth.
Beyond traditional sun printing, SolarFast is also perfect for painting, tie-dye, screen printing, stamping, batik, and more.
It requires no heat or chemical fixers, is odorless, non-toxic, and safe for kids, and leaves fabric soft and paper unchanged in texture — making it ideal for mixed-media and art journaling projects.

- Activated by sunlight or UV lamp
- No heat or fixers required
