Jacquard SolarFast is a light-sensitive dye that develops color when exposed to sunlight or UV light — revealing stunning detail and fixing naturally without heat.
Use it to create sun prints, photograms, and shadow images on paper or fabric, capturing the beauty of light and shadow with ease.
Paint your surface, place your objects, stencils, or negatives, and let the light bring your image to life.
SolarFast requires no heat or chemicals, is odorless, non-toxic, and safe for kids, and leaves fabric soft while preserving the natural texture of paper and wood.
The Sepia shade produces warm, classic tones reminiscent of old photographs — soft browns with a golden undertone that give every print a nostalgic touch.

Try printing on textured or natural materials — linen, rag paper, or raw wood. The uneven surface enhances Sepia’s classic tone, giving your piece the look of an antique photograph.
