Abstract: Dyes of the formula ##STR1## where F is an (m+n)-valent radical of a quinophthalone, dioxazine, indigo, quinacridone, triphenylmethane or rhodamine dye, M.sup..sym. is H.sup..sym. or one equivalent of a metal cation, m is 0, 1 or 2 and n is 1, 2, 3 or 4, and their salts, are very useful for dyeing and printing paper. If they are used for wet-end dyeing, the waste water is virtually colorless. The colorations obtained exhibit good lightfastness and good bleeding fastness.

Abstract: A process for purifying crude organic pigments, wherein the crude pigment is suspended in a mixture of two organic liquids which are partially or completely immiscible with one another, the suspension is mixed at 50.degree.-180.degree. C. until equilibrium has been reached, the phases are allowed to separate, the phase containing the impurities (i.e. the first liquid) is separated off and the purified pigment is isolated from the other phase (i.e. the second liquid).Finely divided crude pigments can, directly after purification, be converted, while in the second liquid, into pigmentary forms.The process gives pigments of high purity, which after conversion into pigmentary forms give deep, brilliant colorations.

Abstract: The invention relates to new dioxazine reactive dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## a process for their preparation and their use in dyeing and printing fibre materials which contain hydroxyl groups or amide groups.In formula (I):D denotes a radical of the dioxazine system of the formula ##STR2## the radicals Y, Z, A, X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 as well as m and n having the meaning indicated in the text of the application.The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of these new dioxazine reactive dyestuffs as well as their use in dyeing and printing fibre materials which contain hydroxyl groups or amide groups.

Abstract: Dioxazine violet pigment having a stable crystal form is advantageously produced by heating a mixture containing an aqueous suspension of a metastable dioxazine violet pigment obtainable in a conventional manner and an aromatic compound having a low solubility in water such as benzoic acid. This stable pigment is useful as a paint and excellent in tinting strength, gloss and dispersibility.
