Black-dyeing aqueous inks comprising 20 to 95% by weight of at least one
dye (A), together with 5 to 80% by weight of at least one dye chosen from
the group consisting of (B) and (C), based on the total weight of the
dyes (A), (B) and (C) in the ink, and 1 to 40% by weight of a
water-miscible organic solvent, based on the total weight of the ink, the
dye (A) containing, as the colouring part of the molecule, one or more
radicals of the formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV) ##STR00001## the dye
(B) containing, as the coloring part of the molecule, one or more mono-
or disazo radicals containing sulfo groups or one or more radicals of the
formula (V), (VI), (VII) or (VIII) ##STR00002## and the dye (C)
containing, as the coloring part of the molecule, one or more mono- or
disazo radicals containing sulfo groups or one or more radicals of the
abovementioned formula (V), (VI), (VII) or (VIII) and one or more
radicals of the abovementioned formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV), in which
(G).sub.0-2 is 0 to 2 identical or different substituents from the group
consisting of substituted or unsubstituted amino, hydroxyl and nitro, L
is substituted or unsubstituted amino, R is halogen, C.sub.1
C.sub.4alkyl, C.sub.1 C.sub.4alkoxy, C.sub.2 C.sub.4alkanoylamino,
hydroxyl, carboxyl, nitro or cyano, (V).sub.0-2 is 0 to 2 identical or
different substituents from the group consisting of halogen, C.sub.1
C.sub.4alkyl, C.sub.1 C.sub.4alkoxy, .beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl and
sulfo, (W).sub.0-1 is an N-acyl radical, if any, n is the number 0, 1, 2
or 3, m is the number 1, 2 or 3 and r and q are the number 0 or 1. The
inks according to the invention are distinguished by good black shades
without a change in shade in artificial light (metamerism) and an
outstanding fastness to light.
