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

Jacquard SolarFast is a light-sensitive dye that develops color when exposed to sunlight or UV light, fixing naturally without heat or chemicals.
Use it to create sun prints, photograms, and shadow images on paper or fabric — letting light itself paint your art.

Coat your surface, place objects or negatives, and watch the light sculpt your image in real time.
