what is solarfast dye made up of?

[@Xenopticon]

Thanks for this info! I have a class kit I'm about to start experimenting with, with artist neighbors. I have some questions:
Question 1: In the video, you did not rinse out/off the detergent. Is that recommended procedure for prints on paper?
Question(s) 2: What is the expected ballpark longevity of prints on paper and fabric? Do they darken over time, with further exposure to sun? Or do they fade? If so, how quickly? (Like, do you have any visual examples in varying numbers of washes?) For prints on garments, do you wash them as normal for the garment, or in hot water, for the sake of the print, or how? Thanks again!

Hey there! It has been a while since we posted this and I'm not sure off the top of my head. The guys at @jacquardproducts are very knowledgeable and helpful though! I'm sure they would be happy to answer any questions for you!

Can you use canvas fabric instead of paper? Thank you!

[@mcartsupplies]

Yes, it works great on cotton, linen, wood and a variety of other surfaces!

Can you use any printer with the solarfasy film?

[@mcartsupplies]

Negatives may be printed on transparent film though a Xerox machine, laser printer or inkjet printer. For inkjet printing, we recommend using SolarFast Film, which is moisture resistant and specially coated for optimum density.
