Dye-na-Flow
|
Dye-na-Flow is a highly saturated, highly transparent fluid acrylic paint that is permanent on any porous or semi-porous surface, including natural and synthetic fabrics, and in many ways simulates a true dye. Dye-Na-Flow spreads on fabric until it is thoroughly absorbed and even, sinking into the fibers like a dye instead of sitting on the surface like thicker inks and paints. The colors are intense, washfast and will not change the feel of the fabric. Dye-Na-Flow is versatile and may be used for many diverse applications, from silk painting to wood staining.

They won’t crack, peel or chip, even on flexible surfaces like fabric, leather, vinyl or rubber. Soft to the touch and washfast on fabric, Lumiere paints also exhibit unparalleled adhesive properties, even on non-porous surfaces like ceramic and metal. Lumiere colors are lightfast and weather resistant and their high pigmentation provides excellent coverage, even on dark grounds.
|
Neopaque
|
Neopaque shares many characteristics with Lumiere but is not pearlescent. Formulated for maximum coverage on dark grounds, these highly pigmented opaque paints are durable, flexible and soft on a variety of surfaces, including fabric, leather, clay and canvas. In order to increase transparency, mix with a 579 Extender.

Procion MX
|
Procion MX dyes are “cold water dyes” that do not require heat. This technique makes it the most popular product for backyard dyeing, batik and tie dye. Since it is a cold water dye, it is also perfect for shibori, ice dyeing, tub and low water immersion dyeing, printing, direct painting and other “alternative” dye applications. Mix the concentrated dye powder with warm tap water to create the most vibrant of all colors for cotton, linen and other plant-based fabrics. Procion MX dyes are typically used with a soda ash fixative, which can be added directly to the dye bath or used to pre-treat the fabric, as in tie dyeing.

Solarfast
|
SolarFast dyes are light-sensitive and only develop color and become permanent upon exposure to sunlight (UV). This unique property means SolarFast may be used to create remarkably detailed photographs, photograms and shadow-prints on paper or fabric by harnessing the power of the sun! Anything you place on the painted surface to block the light will create a print in a matter of minutes, whether that’s a solid object (toys, tools, plants, lace, etc.), a photographic negative (an image digitally printed onto a transparency) or shadow (from folds in the fabric or a 3D object). SolarFast is also great for painting, tie dyeing, screen printing, stamping, batik and more—no heat setting, chemical or steam fixing necessary. The dye leaves fabric completely soft to the touch. On paper, SolarFast has zero relief and will not affect the texture of the surface whatsoever, making it a powerful tool for mixed-media arts.

By mixing with Colorless Extender #100 it is possible to achieve any degree of transparency without affecting viscosity and by mixing with white #123 colors become more pastel like. Textile Colors are washable and colorfast on natural and synthetic fabrics, as well as on other porous and semi-porous surfaces.
