Aqueous inks containing solvent dyes

An aqueous ink jet ink for printing on textile, said ink comprising an aqueous vehicle and a water-insoluble colorant dispersed by a polymeric dispersant, wherein said colorant comprises one or more solvent dyes having a structure of Formula I and one or more solvent dyes having a structure of Formula II:

• wherein:
• R1 and R3 are independently CN or optionally substituted C1-C8 alkoxycarbonyl;
• R2 and R4 are independently H or optionally substituted C1-C3 alkyl;
• R5 is CN, optionally substituted C1-C8 alkylsulphonyl or optionally substituted C1-C8 alkoxycarbonyl;
• R6 is optionally substituted C1-C8 alkyl, optionally substituted C1-C8 alkoxycarbonyl, optionally allyl substituted C3-C7 cycloalkyl or optionally substituted C6-C10 aryl;
• R7 is H or independently of R6 and has the definition of R6;
• R8 is optionally substituted C1-C8 alkyl, optionally substituted C1-C8 alkoxycarbonyl, optionally allyl substituted C3-C7 cycloalkyl or optionally substituted C6-C10 aryl;
• R9 is H or independently of R6 and has the definition of R6;
• R10 is H, C1-C8 alkyl or optionally substituted C1-C8 alkyl;
• R11 is CN or H;
• R12 is H or C1-C8 alkyl;
• Y is Cl, Br, F, C1-C5 alkyl, C1-C8 alkylcarbonyl, optionally substituted C1-C20 alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted C6-C20 phenoxysulfonate or optionally substituted C6-C20 arylsulfonate;
• and
• X and Z are independently H, NO2, Cl, Br, F, C1-C5 alkyl, C1-C8 alkylcarbonyl, optionally substituted C1-C20 alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted C6-C20 phenoxysulfonate or optionally substituted C6-C20 arylsulfonate.
