Example 3 A dyeing of Chlorantine Fast Orange TGLL on cotton material is impregnated with a solution containing per 100 parts water, 16 parts dimethylol-urea, 1 part ammonium phosphate, and 1 part copper chloride (the parts being by weight) and is then dried at 110 (2., whereby the fastness of the dyeing to wet treatments is increased by the high-molecular compound formed. When the thus aftertreated dyeing is exposed to light, it exhibits a better fastness to light than a dyeing aftertreated in the same manner but with exclusion of the copper salt.

A similar result is obtained when Chlorantine Fast Orange TGLL is replaced by Chlorantine Fast Bordeaux B or by Chlorantine Fast Blue 3RLL.

What we claim is:

1. Improvement in the process of increasing the i'astness properties of dyeings and prints, which have been obtained by means of a watersoluble dyestufi and aftertreatment with a highmolecular organic compound, produced by condensation of formaldehyde with a compound containing at least once the group N... N=Cq consisting in combining the aftertreatment with a simultaneous treatment with a solution of a copper compound in the same bath.

2. Improvement in the process of increasing the fastness properties of dyeings and prints, which have been obtained by means of a water-soluble dyestufi and aftertreatment with a high-molecular organic compound, produced by the condensation of formaldehyde with melamine, consisting in combining the aftertreatment with a simultaneous treatment with a solution of a copper compound in the same bath.

3. Improvement in the process oi increasing the i'astness properties of dyeings and prints, which have been obtained by means of a water-soluble dyestufl. and aftertreatment with a high-molecular organic compound, produced by condensation of formaldehyde with a compound containing at least once the group solubie dyestufls and aftertreatment with a high- 4 molecular organic compound, produced by the condensation of formaldehyde with melamine, consisting in combining the aftertreatment with a simultaneous treatment with a solution of a copper compound in the same bath, and then subjecting the material thus treated to a dry treatment at raised temperature.

5. A textile colored witha water-soluble dyestufl and aftertreated simultaneously with a highmolecular organic compound, produced by condensation of formaldehyde with a compound containing at least once the group and with a solution of a copper compound, the wet-fastness of the aftertreated textile being superior and the light fastness thereof being of a magnitude at least equal to that of the untreated colored textile.
