A dye discharge composition exhibiting extended shelf life and/or pot life and high suitability for inkjet printing on dyed substrates, is disclosed. The composition comprises a reducing agent such as, for example, a sulfur-based reducing agent, and a chelating agent, such as a sodium salt of a polyamino carboxylic acid chelating agent. Use of the dye discharge composition in combination with a translucent colored composition and an optional opaque underbase composition, for forming an image on a dyed substrate is also disclosed. Processes for inkjet printing of an image on a dyed surface using the dye discharge composition, kits for use in such processes or an ink formulation containing same are also disclosed.

The invention relates to an environment-friendly soaping agent for dyeing cotton fabrics with reactive dyes and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of textiles. The invention provides a soaping agent which comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 1-9 parts of sophorolipid, 1-9 parts of anionic surfactant and 1-9 parts of soaping auxiliary, wherein the anionic surfactant is either sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate or rhamnolipid. According to the invention, the combination of sophorolipid, anionic surfactant and soaping auxiliary can effectively improve the fastness to soaping and fastness to rubbing of fabrics; and meanwhile, the soaping agent is environment-friendly and biodegradable, and has a wide application prospect.
