Abstract

Process for dyeing and printing cellulosic fiber materials with vat dyes in the presence of enediols as reducing agents and alkali, using in addition small amount of organic water-miscible solvents, for example low molecular weight alcohols, when reducing the vat dyes. The vatting of the vat dyes proceeds uniformly and completely within a relatively short time, and the resulting vat dyes are reproducible and notable for high levelness and fastness properties.
