## Description

Easily create photographic art prints and one-of-a-kind T-shirts by harnessing the power of sunlight: the SolarFast™ Starter Kit comes with everything you need to get started.

SolarFast Dye including violet, orange and blue, three sheets of SolarFast Film, SolarFast Wash, SolarFast Film Pen, a backer board, sponges, pins and test fabric.

Review: Good starter kit for Solarfast - This kit is geared toward small projects and just getting a feel for Solarfast. They give you quite a small amount of three colors of dye, which will do fine if you are making wall art or, as in the shown example, blocking out a small section on the front of a t-shirt. I didn't want to do that, I wanted to dye the whole shirt. I had to use the entirety of all three bottles and thin it with 1 part water / 3 parts dye. I blocked the sunlight with paperboard cutouts and dried leaves that I had prepared beforehand. Planning, preparation, and quick action are necessary for success. Product is colorfast as advertised. I sent it through the laundry twice, once with the provided Solarfast detergent and once with regular detergent. There was no loss of color, nor any blurring. All in all this is a great product. The best idea is to use this kit to get a feel for it, then switch to buying larger amounts of the dye in bulk. I do a lot of tie-dye related projects and it's very rare for anything to come out exactly as I wanted/expected, but Solarfast did. Will definitely be doing more in the future.
Review: Great starter kit. - I liked this kit as a starting point for getting into sun printing. I wouldn't dilute the ink as some might suggest, as it really weakens the color. It's hard to get the hang of, but it's definitely fun to play around with, and I like the colors it came with.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to do a shirt in sections, or front and back? As in do a section start to finish, wash, then do entirely new section?**
A: I think that would work!

**Q: Anyone tried this on polyester?**
A: This is for natural fibers only.

**Q: Is the Solar Fast Film for inkjet or laserjet printers?**
A: It could melt in a laser printer if plastic film. I’ve had an event cleaning out clear film from my old laser BW printer and haven’t had nerve to try it in my color laser printer.

**Q: Does anyone have tips on how to get the printer to catch the paper? Keeps saying there’s no paper in my printer**
A: Hi. I appologize u r facing this issue. Please try restarting your printer as most of the time, problems are solved by restarting your machine. Also please check for a paper jam. Hope it resolves your issue. Thanks.
