{"product_id":"jacquard-solarfast-wash","title":"Jacquard Solarfast Wash","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacquard SolarFast Wash is an essential finishing step when working with SolarFast dyes on fabric or paper. Specially formulated to remove undeveloped dye, this wash helps prevent backstaining during rinsing and laundering, ensuring clean whites and crisp highlights are preserved in your final print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to be used after exposure, Jacquard SolarFast Wash plays a critical role in the SolarFast process, particularly for photographic prints, photograms and shadow prints. By clearing excess dye that has not been activated by sunlight, the wash improves image clarity and long-term durability of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacquard SolarFast dyes are light-sensitive and only develop colour when exposed to UV light, allowing artists to create highly detailed images using sunlight. Objects, transparencies or shadows placed on the painted surface block the light to form unique prints on fabric or paper. Once exposure is complete, Jacquard SolarFast Wash is used to stop further development and stabilise the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolarFast is suitable for a wide range of creative techniques including painting, tie dyeing, screen printing, stamping and batik, with no heat setting or chemical fixing required. On fabric, the dye remains soft to the touch, while on paper it leaves no surface texture, making it ideal for mixed media applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves undeveloped SolarFast dye after exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces risk of backstaining during washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreserves white areas and fine highlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential for photographic and shadow prints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for fabric and paper applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports long lasting, lightfast results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jacquard","offers":[{"title":"118ml","offer_id":44162238054534,"sku":"0014920","price":14.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"236ml","offer_id":44162238087302,"sku":"0015090","price":29.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/7213\/7350\/files\/0014920.jpg?v=1785155253","url":"https:\/\/www.eckersleys.co.nz\/products\/jacquard-solarfast-wash","provider":"Eckersley's Art \u0026 Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
