Hitherto, water soluble reactive dyes for dyeing or printing cellulose-containing fiber materials have been required to have various good dye characteristics such as levelling property, reproducibility of dyeing and printing, solubility and fastness. Among the reactive dyes, anthraquinone-type reactive dyes have been widely used for dyeing or printing fiber materials in blue color, and they have been particularly required to have good dye characteristics such as levelling property, reproducibility of dyeing and printing and solubility.

An object of the present invention is to provide anthraquinone type blue reactive dyes capable of giving dyed or printed products with good levelness and reproducibility in various kinds of dyeing and printing method, and having sufficient solubility.
Inventors of the present invention have found that a combination of dyes having specific structures gives an industrially advantageous, anthraquinone-type blue reactive dye superior in dye characteristics such as reproducibility, levelling property and solubility in various kinds of dyeing and printing methods.

C. so that total amount of the solution became 1000 parts, padding cotton fabric was conducted using the resulting solution as the padding liquor. The padded cotton fabric was dried for 2 minutes at 120.degree. C. and, then, steamed for 5 minutes at 100.degree. C. to fix the dye. The dyed product dyed in uniform brown color was obtained.
EXAMPLE 26
50 parts of the reactive dye composition obtained according to the same manner as in example 1 was dissolved in hot water and the resulting solution was cooled to 25.degree. C. To the dye solution thus obtained, 30 parts of anhydrous sodium sulfate and 18 parts of 32.5 % aqueous sodium hydroxide solution were added. Then, immediately after water was added thereto at 25.degree. C. so that total amount of the solution became 1000 parts, padding cotton fabric was conducted using the resulting solution as the padding liquor. The padded cotton fabric was rolled up, sealed with polyethylene film, left as it is for 20 hours at a room temperature of 25.degree. C., then, washed according to a conventional manner and dried. The dyed product dyed in uniform blue color was obtained.
EXAMPLE 27
Using a reactive dye composition obtained according to the same manner as in example 1, a color printing paste having the following composition was prepared.

A No. 40 cotton broad cloth was printed with 100 parts of the printing paste thus obtained and steaming treatment was conducted at 100.degree. C. for 5 minutes. Then, the cotton cloth was washed with water, washed with hot water, soaped, washed with hot water, washed with water and dried to obtain printed cotton broad cloth showing uniform blue color.
The reactive dye composition exhibits various excellent dyeing characteristics such as reproducibility, levelling propertiy and solubility in dyeing and printing fiber materials.
