     Further particularly preferred mixtures further include those which, as well as the dyes of the formulae (I′) and (II), further comprise a dye of the formula (V), in particular the dye of the formula (Va). 
     Very particularly preferred dye mixtures, as well as the dyes of the formulae (I) and (II), further comprise a dye of the formula (III) and a dye of the formula (IV). 
     Further, very particularly preferred dye mixtures, as well as the dyes of the formulae (I′) and (II), further comprise a dye of the formula (III) and a dye of the formula (IV). 
     Preferably, the dye mixture according to the invention comprises 1% to 99% and preferably 1% to 80% by weight and especially 5% to 60% by weight of at least one dye of the formula (I) and 1% to 99%, preferably 5% to 60% by weight and especially 5% to 40% by weight of at least one dye of the formula (II), based on the total amount of dye and provided that, that the sum based on the total amount of dye is 100%. A further preferred mixture comprises at least one dye of the formula (I′) instead of the at least one dye of the formula (I) and at least one dye of the formula (II). 
     Preferably, the dye of the formula (III) is used in an amount of 0% to 80% and especially 10% to 60% by weight, based on the total amount of dye. 
     Preferably, the dye of the formula (IV) is used in an amount of 0% to 40% and especially 5% to 30% by weight, based on the total amount of dye. 
     Preferably, the dye of the formula (V) is used in an amount of 0% to 40% and especially 5% to 30% by weight, based on the total amount of dye. 
     The dye mixtures according to the invention lead in particular in the above-indicated mixing ratios to black to navy shades. 
     The mixture according to the invention is notable in particular for excellent sublimation fastness and good exhaustion. Moreover, the colour yield is consistent over a wide pH range. They are particularly useful for alkaline dyeing of polyester, in particular at a pH of 8 to 11. The polyester-elastane blend fabrics dyed with the mixture of the invention are notable in particular for excellent wash fastness. The polyester-elastane blend of fabrics dyed with the mixture of the invention do not stain adjacent nylon fabric, in particular nylon-6,6, and acetate. Nor do the polyester-elastane blend fabrics dyed with the mixtures of the invention acquire a yellow tinge after repeated washing. Substrates dyed with the mixture of the invention exhibit excellent fastness under the conditions of the ISO 105/C06 wash at 50° C. and also when subjected to the ISO 105/C06 wash at 60° C. The mixtures of the invention are notable for high build-up capacity, which leads to very deep dark shades, in particular to a deeper black. 
     The dye mixture of the invention may also comprise further disperse dyes. 
     The invention further provides a process for producing the mixture of the invention, characterized in that the individual dyes (I) and (III) and optionally further dyes of the dye mixture are ground in water in the presence of a dispersant, subsequently mixed and optionally dried, or in that the dyes (I), (II) and optionally further ones are ground in water in the presence of a dispersant and optionally dried. 
     Dye mixtures according to the invention which are composed of the dyes of the formulae (I), (II) and also if appropriate one or more of the dyes of the general formulae (III) to (V) can be produced for example by simply mixing the components. The mixing can be effected by mixing separately finished individual components in the dyeing liquor, or else, preferably, by the presscakes of the individual components being mixed and conjointly finished. 
     The finish is characterized in that the dyes are converted by a grinding operation in the presence of a dispersant into an aqueous dispersion, i.e. into a liquid dye formulation or, after drying, into a pulverulent dye formulation, for which the individual dyes can first be separately finished and then mixed or the individual dyes first mixed and then conjointly finished. This grinding is preferably accomplished in mills, such as for example ball, swing, bead or sand mills, or in kneaders. After grinding, the size of the dye particles is preferably about 0.1 to 10 micrometres, in particular about 1 micrometre. The grinding is preferably effected in the presence of dispersants, which can be nonionic or anion active. Nonionic dispersants are for example reaction products of alkylene oxides, such as for example ethylene oxide or propylene oxide with alkylatable compounds, such as for example fatty alcohols, fatty amines, fatty acids, phenols, alkylphenols and carboxamides. Anion-active dispersants are for example ligninsulphonates and salts thereof, alkyl- or alkylarylsulphonates, alkylaryl polyglycol ether sulphates, alkali metal salts of the condensation products of naphthalenesulphonic acids and formaldehyde, polyvinylsulphonates and ethoxylated novolacs. 
     The invention accordingly also provides dye formulations comprising 
     10% to 60% by weight of the dye mixture of the invention, and 
     40% to 90% by weight of dispersant. 
     The dye formulations can be present in liquid or solid form, in which case the liquid formulations are preferably aqueous dye dispersions and the solid formulations are present as a powder or granules. 
     Preferred aqueous dye formulations comprise water, 
     15% to 50% by weight of the dye mixture of the invention, and 
     10% to 25% by weight of dispersant, all based on the dye formulation. 
     The abovementioned nonionic and anionic dispersants are preferred dispersants. 
     The dye formulations of the present invention may also comprise further auxiliaries, for example those which act as oxidizing agents, such as for example sodium m-nitrobenzenesulphonate, or fungicidal agents, such as for example sodium o-phenylphenoxide and sodium pentachlorophenoxide. Wetting agents, antifreeze agents, dustproofing agents or hydrophilicizing agents may also be present. 
     There are certain application sectors where solid formulations such as pulverulent or granular brands are preferred. Preferred solid dye formulations comprise 
     30% to 50% by weight of the dye mixture of the invention, and 
     70% to 50% by weight of dispersant. 
     They may further comprise if appropriate auxiliaries, such as for example wetting, oxidizing, preserving and dustproofing agents. 
     A preferred process for producing solid dye formulations consists in the above-described liquid dye formulations being stripped of their liquid, for example by vacuum drying, freeze drying, by drying on drum dryers, but preferably by spray drying. 
     Dye mixtures of the invention, however, are preferably also producible by conjoint finishing of the mixing components. 
     To this end, the mixing components are dispersed in water by a grinding operation in a suitable mixing ratio as described above and if appropriate converted into a solid dye formulation by removing the water. 
     To improve the properties of the dye formulations, it can be advantageous to subject the mixing components to a heat treatment before grinding. The heat treatment is carried out at 25 to 98° C., preferably at 30 to 80° C. and more preferably at 40 to 60° C. It is advantageous to follow the heat treatment directly, without intervening isolation, by a finishing operation, i.e. conversion into the commercial solid or liquid formulations. For this purpose, the heat-treated suspension is converted into a dispersion by grinding. It is advantageous for the heat treatment to be carried out in the presence of those dispersing and also, if appropriate, auxiliary agents which are to be present in the finished solid or liquid formulation. These are identical to the abovementioned surface-active substances. If the total amount of these dispersing and auxiliary agents was not added during the heat treatment, then the remainder is added prior to grinding. In this case, the amount of surface-active substances added for the heat treatment is generally in the range from 10% to 400% by weight and preferably in the range from 20% to 200% by weight, based on the dye mixtures. 
     To prepare the dyeing liquors, the requisite amounts of the dye formulations which were prepared in accordance with the above directions are diluted with the dyeing medium, preferably with water, to such an extent that a liquor ratio in the range from 5:1 to 50:1 results for the dye. In addition, further dyeing auxiliaries, such as carriers, dispersing and wetting agents are generally added to the liquors. 
     If the dye mixture of the invention is to be used for textile printing, then the requisite amounts of the dye formulation are preferably kneaded together with thickeners, such as for example alkali metal alginates or the like, and if appropriate further additives, such as for example fixation accelerants, wetting agents and hydrating agents to form printing pastes. 
     The dye mixtures of the invention, which may incidentally comprise still further dyes, are exceedingly suitable for dyeing and printing hydrophobic synthetic materials. Useful hydrophobic synthetic materials include for example: secondary cellulose acetate, cellulose triacetate, polyamides and high molecular weight polyesters. Preferably, the dye mixtures of the invention are used for dyeing and printing materials composed of high molecular weight polyesters, in particular those based on polyethylene glycol terephthalates or their blends with natural fibre materials, such as in particular wool or cellulose, or materials composed of cellulose triacetate. The dye mixtures of the invention are very particularly suitable for dyeing and/or printing polyester-polyurethane union fabrics and polyester-polyurethane blend fibre fabrics. 
     The preferred substrate when applying mixtures comprising at least one dye of the formula (I) and at least one dye of the formula (II) as well as a mixture comprising at least one dye of the formula (I′) and at least one dye of the formula (II) is polyester material, preferably polyester fibres especially preferably polyester fibres fabrics. 
     The hydrophobic synthetic materials can be present in the form of sheet- or threadlike structures and have been processed for example into yams or woven, loop-formingly knitted or loop-drawingly knitted textile materials. The hydrophobic synthetic materials can be present in the form of a non-woven. The dyeing of the fibre material mentioned with the dye mixtures of the invention can be effected in a conventional manner, preferably from an aqueous dispersion, if appropriate in the presence of carriers, between 80 to about 110° C. by the exhaust process or by the HT process in a dyeing autoclave at 110 to 140° C., and also by the so-called thermofixing process in which the fabric is padded with the dyeing liquor and then fixed/set at about 180 to 230° C. The printing of the materials mentioned can be carried out in a conventional manner by incorporating the dye mixtures of the invention into a printing paste and treating the fabric printed therewith with HT steam or dry heat at temperatures between 180 to 230° C., if appropriate in the presence of a carrier, to fix the dyes. This provides very strong olive, navy or black, in particular strong navy or black, dyeings and prints having very good fastnesses, in particular having very good light, rub, thermofixing, wash, water and sublimation fastnesses. The customary dyeing processes with which the dye mixtures of the invention can be dyed and/or printed are described for example in M. Peter and H. K. Rouette: “Grundlagen der Textilveredelung; Handbuch der Technologie, Verfahren and Maschinen”, thirteenth, revised edition, 1989, Deutscher Fachverlag GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, ISBN 3-87150-277-4, in which the following pages are particularly relevant: the pages 460-461, 482-495, 556-566 and 574-587. 
     The dye mixtures of the invention exhibit excellent wetting characteristics when making up dyeing and padding liquors and also printing pastes, and are rapidly dispersible without costly and inconvenient manual or mechanical stirring. The liquors and printing pastes are homogeneous and are easy to process in state of the art dyehouse drugstores without plugging the nozzles. 
     The liquid formulations of the invention have no tendency to phase separate and in particular no tendency to sediment and form a sticky deposit. There is thus no need for a similarly costly and inconvenient homogenization of the dye in the container prior to dye removal. 
     The millbase obtained in the production of solid formulations after grinding of the dyes in the presence of dispersing and auxiliary agents is stable at elevated temperature and for a prolonged period. The millbase does not need to be cooled in the mills or after removal from the mills and can be stored in collecting vessels for a prolonged period prior to spray drying. 
     The thermal stability of the dye mixture of the invention is also apparent from the fact that the spray-drying operation can be carried out at high temperatures without the material which is to be dried undergoing agglomeration. For a given dryer exit temperature, a higher entry temperature results in higher dryer performance and thus in lower manufacturing costs. 
     The dye formulations described above are very advantageously useful for making up printing pastes and dye liquors. They offer particular advantages for example in relation to the continuous processes where the dye concentration of the dyeing liquors has to be kept constant by continuously feeding dye into the running apparatus. 
     The advantage of the dye mixtures of the invention is particularly distinct when dyeing from an aqueous dyebath under state of the art commercial conditions. 
     State of the art commercial conditions are characterized by high pack densities in package and beam dyeings, short liquor ratios, i.e. high dye concentrations, and also high shearing forces in the dyeing liquor due to high pumping power. Even under these conditions, the dye mixtures of the invention do not tend to agglomerate, and do not filter out on the textile materials to be dyed. The dyeings obtained are accordingly homogeneous and have no colour strength differences between the outer and the inner coils of the wound packages, and the dyeings are free of any deposits. Pad dyeings and prints with the dye mixture of the invention produce a homogeneous, speckle-free appearance. 
     The dye mixtures of the invention are also useful for dyeing the above-recited hydrophobic materials from organic solvents by known solvent-dyeing methods and for mass coloration. 
     The invention therefore also provides for the use of the dye mixtures of the invention for dyeing and printing hydrophobic synthetic materials, in particular fibre materials and also for mass coloration of hydrophobic synthetic materials. 
     The above mentioned dyeing processes and processes of production are applicable either for a mixture comprising at least one dye of the formula (I) and at least one dye of the formula (II) as well as a mixture comprising at least one dye of the formula (I′) and at least one dye of the formula (II). 
     The examples which follow illustrate the invention. Parts and % in the description, examples and claims are by weight, unless otherwise stated.

     were ground and dried similarly to Example 1. The ligninsulphonate (sodium salt) was used in the same ratio based on the total amount of dye as in Example 1. The dye mixture obtained (0.1 g) was subsequently used for dyeing 10 g of polyester fibres to obtain bright navy dyeings having good wash and sublimation fastnesses. 
     The following dyes of the formulae (1) and II were combined according to Table 2 similarly to Example 9. The weight ratio of (1):II of Example 9 was retained (5 g of the dye of the formula (1) and 39 g of the dye of the formula (II) according to Table 2). Greenish to reddish navy dyeings were obtained.

     Example 35 
     17.6 g of the dye of formula (1), 9.4 g of the dye of formula (2) of Example 1 and 11.0 g of dye (3) of Example 1 were ground together with 62 g of sodium ligninsulphonate and 300 g of water, and dried, similarly to Example 1. 
     0.6 g of the powder thus obtained was dyed together with 10 g of polyester fabric at pH 8.5 to 9 by means of a glycine/NaOH buffer at 130° C. 60 min. A deep black textile material is obtained. 
     When the dye of the formula (2) in Example 35 was replaced by a dye of the formula (II) of Table 4 hereinbelow, in an equal amount, and these mixtures were used to dye polyester similarly to Example 35, deep black dyeings were likewise obtained.
