Examples include: cotton, linen (bleached), viscose, polynosic, copper synthetic silk, wool, silk, synthetic polyamide, polyester and polyurethane fibers, wool / polyamide, wool / polyester, wool / cellulose, wool / Polyacrylonitrile and polyester / cellulose blended fabrics.
  • Synthetic polyamide, polyester, cellulose fibers and polyester / cellulose blended fabrics are preferably used as textile materials.
  • the textile materials are dyed or printed by methods known per se, dried and then fixed in accordance with the method according to the invention.
  • the fixation takes place in one of the conventional continuous or discontinuous dampers known per se, which must have a device for the targeted addition of air.
  • the air inlet can be regulated, for example, via a valve.
  • the water vapor state in the process according to the invention corresponds to the steam state customary in industrial dampers, such as Saturated steam and superheated steam.
  • Steaming time and steam temperature depend on the dyes and textile material used.
  • textile materials are used which are dyed or printed with azo, metal complex azo and metallized formazan dyes.
  • These dyes can be water-soluble or water-insoluble.
  • Suitable disperse dyes come e.g. B. the dyes known from the Color Index as Disperse Dyes.
  • the radical Q 1 is especially a radical of the benzene series, such as phenyl or sulfophenyl, or an alkyl radical, such as. B. methyl, a low molecular weight alkanoyl group, such as. B.

  • X is preferably directly or via an optionally monoalkylated amino group, such as, for example, -NH-, -N (CH 3 ) -, -N (C 2 H 5 ) - or -N (C 3 H 7 ) - or via a bridge member containing an amino group bound to the radical D, where D is an azo, metal complex azo or metallized formazan dye.
  • an optionally monoalkylated amino group such as, for example, -NH-, -N (CH 3 ) -, -N (C 2 H 5 ) - or -N (C 3 H 7 ) - or via a bridge member containing an amino group bound to the radical D, where D is an azo, metal complex azo or metallized formazan dye.

  • the following examples serve to illustrate the invention.
  • the parts are parts by weight and the percentages are percentages by weight.
  • the temperatures are given in degrees Celsius.
  • the relationship between parts by weight and parts by volume is the same as that between grams and cubic centimeters.

  • the printed fabric is steamed for 8 minutes in a water vapor atmosphere without excess pressure (- 1 bar) at 100-102 ° C.
  • This water vapor contains 1.5-2% by volume of air.
  • the resulting prints have a blue-gray shade after their usual post-washing treatment.
