LUMI INKODYE NOW AVAILABLE @ CRAFTIVITI

We just brought in a new product into Craftiviti and we are so excited over it.

LUMI Inkodye must be like the coolest way to print on fabrics. It's just so easy and so fast (only takes 10 minutes in the sun). AND it's permanent - like FOREVER!

While we haven't had the time make our own samples, we found some wonderful projects online here.

Loads of people all over the world have been using LUMI to print on T-Shirts, shoes, bags, even on sofas, chair bases, cushions and more. It can be used on anything porous: on wood, leather, canvas, paper and more.

Here's a quickie on how Inkodye works:

STEP 1 - Apply Inkodye onto your cloth, wood, paper or any other material you want to print on. The Inkocap Roller helps with this application to make sure the ink is layered consistently. This also helps save ink too. 

STEP 2 - Prepare your negative by reversing any image and printing it on an inkjet film. You can also use Lumi App here. 

(Images that contain copy may not be suitable since copy will be reversed)

If you prefer not to use negatives you can also use objects such as paper cutouts, lace or even leafs to selectively block light from activating Inkodye. 

STEP 3 - Inkodye develops its color in sunlight or bright UV, about 10 to 20 minutes on a bright day.

And because we are in the sunny tropics of Malaysia, we can make print almost every day of the year!

STEP 4 - Remove the unexposed dye using Inkowash to make your print permanent.

Inkodye is a true vat dye, the most permanent family of dyes in the world. 

Vat dyes are known for their resistance to fading. Once printed, the color does not rub off, does not fade in sunlight and can even withstand bleach washing.

While permanent and strong, Inkodye is very safe even for children. 

Inkodye is designed for printing natural fibers such as cotton, linen, rayon and silk. Inkodye can also be used as a dye or paint to color almost any absorbent natural material:

• Cotton

• Linen

• Silk

• Muslin

• Denim

• Bamboo

• Burlap

• Wood

• Hemp

• Jute

• Canvas

• Leather

• Suede

• Wool

• Mohair

LUMI Inkodye comes in 8oz bottles (RM88 per bottle). One bottle can make 10 to 12 prints the size of an A4 paper. There are two ways you can increase the quantity of prints:

1. Use Inkocap Roller (RM53) to reduce wastage

2. Dilute with water (however the ink colour will be less intense)

Inkowash is a 8oz (237ml) bottle (RM69) of specially-formulated strong detergent to rinse out unexposed Inkodye. It acts as a replacement for standard laundry detergent. Washes 10 laundry loads of prints.

To create negatives, we use ULANO. It's ideal for printing high resolution photography. RM65 for 10 sheets. Each sheet is good to make numerous printed copies. 

LUMI also comes in handy kits/sets (sunlight not included). It's the perfect gift for anyone. Even kids go pro with it too!

LUMI LAMPSHADE

We've been pretty psyched over LUMI Inkodye. This printing process is just so easy and so fast. Plus with the sunny weather in Malaysia, everyday can be a LUMI-making day. 

There are plenty of projects you can find online. Here's one on making your own lampshades.

Here's what you need. You need the Inkodye. Craftiviti carries Red, Blue, Plum and Sepia. You'll need a foam brush, some pretty lace patterns, a lampshade and some push pins. 

Pour Inkodye into a clean glass jar. You can add water to dilute the dye for a lighter effect. This also helps you save on the Inkodye so you can do more stuff with it. The Inkodyes can be mixed to create different colours!

Coat the lampshade with the Inkodye. Here they used an orange dye. There is no need to completely soak the lampshade with dye till it is dripping wet. With Inkodye you'll notice a little goes a long way. 

Next, pin on the lace. Work on this in a shaded cool area until you get it in the right position. Remember, Inkodye starts to show when it is exposed to light. So work as quickly as you can. 

Place the lampshade in direct sunlight for 10 minutes. Yup 10 minutes is all you need. 

 

Bring the lampshade back into the shade and remove the lace. Here you'll see places that are not covered will have changed its colour thanks to the dye. 

 Mix some Inkowash with hot water and wipe away. Don't be afraid to scrub at it hard to remove all access Inkodye. This step ensures the dye no longer reacts to the sunlight and continue to change colour.

From a simple inexpensive lampshade, now you have a customised design.

For variations, you can also use photo prints. Check out Lumi.co for more project ideas.
