Abstract: A monoazo lake pigment of the formula (I): ##STR1## whose X-ray diffraction pattern shows a high diffraction intensity at a diffraction angle (2.theta..+-.0.2.degree.; Cu - K.sub..alpha.) of 4.9.degree., moderate diffraction intensities at 18.4.degree., 25.9.degree. and 26.8.degree. and relatively low diffraction intensities at 11.1.degree., 15.3.degree. and 21.2.degree., and printing ink, a paint and plastics in which the monoazo lake pigment is contained.

Abstract: A monoazo lake pigment for use in inks and paints of the formula (I): ##STR1## whose X-ray diffraction pattern shows a high diffraction intensity at a diffraction angle (2.theta..+-.0.2.degree.; Cu-K.sub..alpha.) of 5.0.degree., moderate diffraction intensity at 25.0.degree. and relatively low diffraction intensities at 14.8.degree., 19.5.degree..

Abstract: An azo lake pigment is obtained by coupling an aromatic diazo component having a sulfonic acid group with a mixture of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and a 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid derivative represented by formula [I] ##STR1## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, a naphthalene residue, a cyclohexyl group, or a group of the formula ##STR2## in which each of X, Y and Z represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a halogen atom, an acetylamino group, a benzoylamino group, a carbomoyl group or a phenylcarbamoyl group, and X and Y together may form a cyclized benzimidazolone, benzthiazole or benzoxazole group,and laking the resulting dye with an alkaline earth metal salt or a manganese salt.

Abstract: A non-bronzing reddish lake pigment obtained by treating a reddish lake pigment with an N-(3-alkoxy-2-hydroxypropyl)trialkylammonium salt represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein each of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and X represents a halogen atom, a sulfonic acid radical, an acetic acid radical or a formic acid radical.

Abstract: A process for producing an isoindolinone pigment, which comprises hydrolyzing a salt formed from an isoindolinone compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein X represents a chlorine or bromine atom, R represents an aromatic group or a heterocyclic group, and m is 0 or an integer of 1 to 4, and a base, in water in the presence of an organic solvent not miscible freely with water.

Abstract: An indandione pigment having high tinting strength and good weatherability and light fastness of the formula ##STR1## WHEREIN A is a phenylene or naphthylene group optionally substituted by a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group or a nitro group; n is 2 or 1; and B represents a direct bond or an n valont aromatic radical.The pigment mentioned above can be prepared by reacting an indandione derivative of the formula ##STR2## (E is an alkoxy group with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or an amino group; and G is an oxygen atom, or ##STR3## in which Q is a lower alkyl group, and Q.sub.2 is a lower alkyl group or a phenyl group) with an amino compound of the formula H.sub.2 N--B--NH.sub.2 ]n-1.
