Abstract: Aqueous ink formulation and a process for printing sheetlike cellulose fiber materials or materials containing cellulose fibers with reactive dyes using a single-phase inkjet process or some other non-contact minimal addon spray technique and subsequent fixation of the reactive dyes on the fiber, which comprises using an aqueous ink formulation comprising an alkali metal fluoride, an alkali metal formate, an alkali metal citrate, an alkali metal salt of a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -dicarboxylic acid or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: A process for the pad-dyeing or printing of textile material consisting of cellulose and polyester fibers with fiber-reactive and dispersion dyestuffs which comprises printing or padding the textile material with a printing paste or padding liquor which contains besides the usual printing auxiliaries and the dyestuffs mentioned an alkali salt of the formic acid as well as carriers, levelling and/or dispersing agents, fixing the dyestuffs by dry heat at temperatures above 150.degree.C or by hot steam at temperatures above 140.degree.C, and completing the prints or pad dyeings in usual manner.
