The invention relates to a process of preparing 'one off effect' dyeings on paper or textile material comprising:

Continuous dyeing process

The present invention relates to an after-dyeing treatment process for synthetic/cellulosic fibre mixed substrates which have been dyed with at least one disperse and at least one reactive dye in which after fixation, the dyed or printed substrate is reductively treated at a neutral to alkaline pH with an aqueous solution containing reducing agent, whereby non-bound disperse dyestuff is decomposed such that it does not re-build up on the substrate whilst the fixed reactive dyestuff remains substantially unaffected.

Reduction clearing of disperse dyes

Disclosed are stable, concentrated, aqueous dyestuff preparations comprising water, an anionic dispersing agent and at least one cold-dyeing water soluble fibre reactive dye, said dye having an average particle diameter of less that 20 .mu., other optional constituents being one or more disperse dyes, acid, such as acetic acid, to adjust the pH of the preparation to a preferred value of 4 to 6, and organic solvents. The preparations are useful for the convenient production of dyebaths for dyeing substrates containing a fibre reactive dyeable component.

Aqueous concentrates of cold-dyeing fibre reactive dyes

A dyeing or printing process for substrates consisting of synthetic or semi-synthetic, high molecular organic substances of hydrophobic character, performed with an organic dyestuff which is dispersed in a liquid organic compound containing a dissolved alkyd resin acting as a dispersing agent.

Dyeing with organic dyestuffs dispersed in an organic liquid

Disclosed is a process for the removal of liquid from an absorbent substrate, comprising passing the substrate through the nip between a pair of rollers, at least one of said rollers having an effective surface of a sponge material, the sponge material having capillary pores, the average diameter of which is less than 1 mm and at least 50% of said pores having a diameter in the range of 0.1 to 0.001 mm, the pressure applied at the nip between said rollers being less than 1 kg per cm roller length.
