How to Expose Inkodye: Wet vs Dry

You can expose Inkodye to the sun straight out of the bottle (wet) or let your material dry in a cool, dark place overnight before exposure if you wish.

Step 1 of 6

Wet: We recommend exposing your print when Inkodye is wet to yield the deepest color results. Tip: Blot your coated material with a paper towel before exposing to avoid condensation marks.

Step 2 of 6

Dry: Coat your material in subdued lighting and store in a cool, dark place until material is dry. Exposing Inkodye after it has dried may yield a lighter end result in your Inkodye print.
