Lumi | Print With Light

Lumi is a new DIY alternative to screen printing. The process works on cotton, linen, silk, rayon, canvas, and any other natural & absorbent fiber. Once finished, your print is permanent and can be machine washed without fading.

1. APPLY INKODYE
Coat your shirt or fabric with sunlight-activated Inkodye in a dim environment.

2. PIN NEGATIVE
The negative selectively blocks light from activating the dye. Make your own custom negatives through the Lumi app.

3. EXPOSE
Inkodye develops its color in sunlight or bright UV, about 10 to 20min on a bright day.

4. PEEL
Remove the negative in a dim environment to reveal your print.

5. WASH
Using Inkowash, remove the unexposed dye to prevent it from further developing.

6. WEAR
You’re done! The print is now permanent and can be washed without special care.
