An ink-jet printing process for printing textile fibre materials, wherein
the fiber materials are printed with an aqueous ink comprising (I) at
least one anionic acid dye, and (II) dipropylene glycol, said ink having
a viscosity of from 5 to 20 mPa s at 25.degree. C., and wherein the said
ink is applied to the fiber material with an ink-jet print head
comprising an ink supply layer (b) receiving ink from an external ink
reservoir, said ink supply layer having a first side and a second side
and comprising, a porous medium having a plurality of pores therein and a
