JACQUARD SOLARFAST DYE 236ml 8oz WASH

Jacquard SolarFast Wash 236ml (8oz) is an essential finishing product used with Jacquard SolarFast dyes to produce clear, permanent sun-printed images. After SolarFast dye has been exposed to sunlight or UV light, SolarFast Wash removes any undeveloped dye remaining in the fabric or paper, helping reveal the final image and preventing unwanted background staining.

This concentrated detergent plays a crucial role in the SolarFast printing process by preventing backstaining, which occurs when loose dye redeposits onto unexposed areas during washing. By eliminating this excess dye, SolarFast Wash helps preserve the bright white highlights and sharp details of photographic prints.

SolarFast Wash is suitable for use on both fabric and paper prints created with SolarFast dyes. It can be used in machine washing or hand washing methods, typically with hot water to fully remove undeveloped dye and complete the development of the printed image.

This product is widely used by textile artists, printmakers, photographers and educators who work with SolarFast dyes for sun printing, photograms, stencil designs and photographic fabric printing.
