Insoluble azo-dyestuffs are made on the fibre by first treating the material with an azo-dyestuff preparation, padding in an acid solution and developing by passing over heated drying cylinders or through a heated chamber or by drawing through a container filled with steam. The process may be used for printing with azo-preparations alone or together with printings by means of ester salts of leuco vat-dyestuffs, and to the production of coloured resists under dyeings from aniline black preparations and/or from ester salts of leuco-vat dyestuffs. Azo-dyestuff preparations specified are those containing diazoamino compounds (see Specifications 320,324, 324,041 and 334,529, [all in Class 2 (iii), Dyes &c.], or nitrosamines (see Specifications 9102/14, [Class 15 (ii), Dyeing, Processes &c. for], 6663/15, 217,594, 328,383, [all in Class 2 (iii), Dyes &c.], and 340,534) and the usual coupling components free from sulphonic carboxyl groups. The acid solution may be one containing one or more organic acids, e.g. acetic, formic, glycollic or oxalic acids, or phosphoric acid, or one or more easily dissociated metal salts of inorganic acids, e.g. sulphates or chlorides of magnesium, zinc or aluminium, or one or more salts which are capable of yielding acid, e.g. ammonium salts of organic acids, or mixtures of these substances.
