 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention pertains to novel printing fluids; more particularly, this invention relates to certain aqueous printing fluids which are mixtures of self-curing, watersoluble, cationic thermosetting resins and particular water-soluble dyes suitable for printing unsized webs at high printing velocities, for example, up to about 5,000 ft./min. and over. The printed products obtained by printing with these novel printing fluids are also within the purview of this invention.  
 2. Description of the Prior Art In most of prior-art rotogravure processes pigmented printing fluids containing high vapor pressure solvent as carrier fluids have been used. These fluids contain dispersed particulate matter of great hiding power. Particles dispersed within these fluids give the tinctorial strength needed for printing when these fluids are deposited on the surface of the printed web and the solvent removed thereafter.  
 While the final print quality of these fluids is often excellent, the process possesses inherent limitations such.  
 as the velocity at which the web may be printed. as well as the rate of solvent removal from the pigmented fluids. Needless to say, the many dangers inherent in using high-vapor pressure solvents are considerable. Also, eliminating such a drying step if comparable or better economic results can be obtained is obviously a desideratum.  
  Other prior-art shortcomings, in comparison with this process, are the life span of the rotogravure roll or intaglio surface because the pigmented particulate materials abrade the roll surface in places of contact with another surface such as the printing nip, and doctor blades.  
  Still other shortcomings found in prior art rotogravure printing are the higher viscosities of printing fluids. The viscosity, coupled with the abrasive nature of the fluid, illustrates why rotogravure rolls are shortlived in comparison with this process.  
  Additionally, the high viscosity of the prior-art fluids prevents the printing process from running at high speeds. For example, at high speeds the tackiness of the prior-art fluids would cause fiber picking or removal from the web and also at still higher viscosities this tackiness causes the paper to wrap itself around the printing surface. This phenomenon is avoided by reducing the viscosity of the printing fluid by adding solvent Therefore, it is obvious that any change in one property of the fluid will significantly alter other properties of the fluid if the nature of the prior art system is significantly changed to obtain improved results.  
 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has now been found that a completely new and unobvious approach in printing fluids does overcome most of the prior-art shortcomings and allows the printing operations to be carried out at web velocities up to about 5,000 ft./min. and higher or a web velocity of about a mile per minute at a cost substantially lower than achievable by any prior-art processes. The novel printing fluid suitable for rotogravure printing at web velocities up to about 5,000 ft./min. in its generic sense comprises an aqueous solution of a cationic, thermosetting resin, a dye compatible with said resin, said dye and resin mixture having a stability of from about one hour in excess of four months and a transference value of from about 0 to about four, and a viscosity at 77F of less than about 20 cps.  
 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the present invention, cationic resin means any water soluble, polymeric resin species possessing one or more positive charges, such charges arising by virtue of the presence in the polymer backbone or pendantly organic ammonium, sulfonium or phosphonium groups. The cationic nature of such water soluble polymeric resin species not only allows for greater polymer affinity for cellulosic fibers but also provides the electro-static sites necessary for potential salt formation with the dye molecules.  
  By thermosetting&#34; property is meant the ability of a resin to become hard, durable and insoluble at room temperature or more rapidly by the application of heat or some other form of energy. This property is usually associated with a crosslinking reaction of the individual resin molecular species to form a three dimensional network of polymer molecules. In the case of this invention, the cross-linking process involves not only the polymeric resin species themselves, but in the presence of a dye having resin-reactive groups the dye molecules become a part of the resultant insoluble three dimensional network.  
  Solutions of thermosetting resins which are capable of cross-linking to an insoluble, durable state at room temperature upon solvent evaporation are sometimes referred to as.self-curing. However, this curing process can be markedly accelerated by the application of heat and, in some cases, by the inclusion of an acidic catalyst.  
  The preferred resin solutions are those which are aqueous and contain a cationic, thermosetting resin of the type previously described which will self-cure&#34; with and in some cases without the aid of an acidic catalyst to a hard, insoluble, durable state within about four weeks or less at room temperature.  
  The resin in solution must also exhibit non-dilatant viscosity characteristics. For purposes of this invention, the described condensates are also limited by the viscosity considerations as set out herein.  
  The dyes which will find use in this invention must be water soluble. In addition, such dyes must be compatible with the resin in solution and must be capable of reacting with the cellulose, with the resin or, preferably, with both during the resin curing process. It is obvious, hence, that the greater the reactivity of the dye molecules the lower will be the transference values of the colored imprint.  
  The water soluble dyes useful in the novel fluid are generally those with anionic characteristics, i.e., bearing an opposite change to the resin. Although the combination of a cationic resin and an anionic dyestuff is basically incompatible, this difficulty can be overcome by using an amount of resin in excess of the stoichiometric ratio. For example, most water soluble, cationic, theremosetting resins may be made compatible with direct acid and reactive dyes.  
  This stabilized solution, it is believed, in turn coacts by curing on the fibers in the web and the degree of this reaction is measured by a transference value.  
  As there are an untold number of dyes and each dye, it has been found, reacts unpredictably vis-a-vis the particular resin, only a certain family of dyes will be operative in this process. However, since the concept of using a particular water soluble thermosetting resin with a particular dye is novel from the stability aspect as well as the transfer value aspect, many dyes are eliminated on the basis of the first ground as well as on the second. The tests designed to delineate the acceptable dyes from those failing in the instant fluids are set out below and fully discussed. Again, it is stressed that not all dyes meet the first two requirements and that predictability is impossible to establish beforehand. Moreover, in order for the dye to be acceptable, it must be used in quantities such as will establish an acceptable print. Again, this property relates to stability as the dye affects the fluid stability if the dye is present in considerable amounts. In other words, for each particular resin-dye combination a direct relationship exists between fluid stability and the ratio of resin non-volatile solids (N.V.S.) to dye, i.e., stability is adversely affected as the resin to dye ratio decreases.  
  Obviously, the particular resin must be carefully selected, but it is equally important that a proper dye is obtained. This dye may wash out of the resin if it is of less than the proper reactivity. Again, the result will be high transference values giving poor printed products.  
  Other reasons why the self-curing resin and dye solution must be specifically selected are further discussed herein. In other words, besides the properties demanded because of the above disclosed reasons, additional properties described herein must be possessed by the resins before these qualify for the present purpose.  
  In order to delineate the class of resins acceptable in the present invention it has been necessary to develop standards which will measure the resin reactivity as well as the coreactivity of resin and dye. As can be well imagined, the present invention falls in an area where lack of prior art standards have resulted in a vacuum of acceptable standards or measure, which will illustrate the present invention in an acceptable fashion. Thus, the present generic fluid concept involves a. a definition of the useful resins b. a definition of a standard with which a useful resin is compared c. a definition of the resin-dye system which will cover the generic concept, and  
 d. a delineation of the physical properties of these fluids as these properties further limit the acceptable resin-dye system. percent.  
  For the purpose of the present invention the useful resins are those resins which are cationic, water soluble, and thermosetting; the most useful resins being those resins which are capable of thermosetting at room temperature within at least four weeks.  
  An alternative requirement of the resin is that it may be cured in a shorter time, i.e., it may be cured by application of heat. However, self-curing resins are the preferred kind. In general heat curing should be accomplished at temperatures below 350F.  
  Besides the above properties which are necessary to establish whether a useful resin is suitable as a component for printing purposes, other properties are equally necessary for other reasons. Obviously, the additional properties further limit the above class and eliminate some of the resins.  
  An important limit is the transference value of the resin-dye system. This transference value as further described herein is based on the fact that it represents the coaction of the resin-fiber-dye system. The exact chemical nature of the resin-dye-fiber system is unknown and for this reason this arbitrary standard has been defined to test the resin-dye-fiber coaction in order to determine the acceptable resin-dye.solutions. This test embraces the defining of acceptable dyes in proper concentrations in the resin solution in order to obtain acceptable prints.  
  Finally, the resin-dye solutions must meet certain physical tests before these solutions may be used for printing purposes in the present process as defined herein.  
  Physical limits necessary to delineate the acceptable fluids are: 1 viscosity, (2) lack of change of viscosity such as due to change in shearing rate, (3) surface tension, and (4) free from particulate contamination and pigmented particles.  
  For example, in order to obtain a certain transference value with a certain dye an excess amount of resin may have to be used, this amount of resin may in turn be in excess of the viscosity constraint. (Conversely, the viscosity constraint may be satisfied with the proper amount of resin but an inordinate amount of dye may have to be used with the particular resin and thus the solution may fail because of the resin-dye coaction, i.e., a chemical reaction.)  
  An example of suitable resin compositions is disclosed in US. application, Ser. No. 318,493, filed Oct. 24, 1963. These resin compositions are prepared by reacting:  
 a. A compound selected from at least one member of the group consisting of amino-carboxylic acids of the formula H2N-R-C- OH and lactams of the formula wherein R is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated carbon atom chains of from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, alicyclic radicals; and aromatic radicals; and R is an aliphatic chain of from 4 to 18 carbon atoms;  
 b. A compound selected from at least one member of the group consisting of dibasic acid of the formula.  
 wherein R is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of saturated 1 to 20 carbon atom radicals, unsaturated 2 to 20 carbon atom radicals, alicyclic radicals, aromatic radicals, and the esters and anhydrides of these acids;  
 c. at least one polyalkylene polyamine compound of the formula H N-(RNH),,H wherein R is an alkylene group of from 2 to 8 atoms and n is an integer of from about 1 to 5, provided that at least 50 percent of the polyamine compound is where n is greater than one; the above (a), (b) and (c) components on mole basis in the reaction mixture being of from about 0.1: 1 0:09 to about 1.0: :13 respectively; the reaction being carried out at a temperature of from about 140C to about 230C for a time sufficient to achieve a viscosity of about A to X on Gardner-Holdt scale at about 40 percent solid concentration in the aqueous reaction solution and 25C; further reacting the obtained condensation product with about 0.8 to about 1.5 moles of a crosslinking agent per mole of reactive amine groups, said crosslinking member being selected from at least one member of the group consisting of 1,3-dichloropropanol, epichlorohydrin, dichloroethylene, dichlorobutene, divinylsulfone, methylene bisacrylamide, diallylamine, glyoxal, crotonaldehyde, divinylether, glycidylaldehyde and diglycidylether at a temperature of from about 25C to about 90C until the resulting product has a viscosity of about A to T on Gardner-Holdt scale at about 10 percent solids and at 25C, and stopping the reaction by adjusting the pH to about 4 to 5.  
  Another class of resin compositions different in physical and chemical properties from the previous resins but suitable to illustrate in another aspect the novel printing fluid are illustrated in U.S. application, Ser. No. 396,698, filed Sept. 15, 1964.  
 The resins are prepared by reacting:  
 a. at least one member of the group consisting of a saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having from 4 to 6 carbon atoms, diglycolic acid and dithioglycolic acid, with b. at least one member of the group consisting of a polyalkylene polyamine of the formula where R is an alkylene group of 2 to 4 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 2 to 5, said polyalkylene polyamine and said dicarboxylic acid being reacted in a mole ratio of from about 09:10 to about 1.15:1.0 in an aqueous medium at a temperature of i from about 160C to about 210C;  
 c. converting by means of an inorganic acid the polyaminopolyamide reaction product from steps (a) and (b) to an inorganic acid salt thereof;  
 (1. reacting saidsalt with an alkali cyanate in an aqueous solution to form a polyureide derivative, said cyanate being selected from at least one member of the group consisting of lithium cyanate, sodium cyanate, potassium thiocyanate, said alkali metal cyanate being reacted with said polyaminopolyamide in mole ratios from about 0.8: 1.2 moles of the cyanate per mole of reactive amine, at a temperature of from about 50C to about C;  
 . reacting the preceding product with an aldehyde selected from, at least one member of the class consisting of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde and trioxane, said aldehyde being present in an amount such that it is equivalent to from 1:1 to about 3: l at a temperature of from about 60C to about C.  
  Another class of resins which is useful in this invention is a class of cationic, water soluble, thermosetting resins which are prepared by reacting (a) urea (b) alkylene polyamine (c) formaldehyde and (d) at least one member of the group consisting of thiourea, dicyandimide, guanidine and an amino triazine, said reaction being modified if desired by adding to&#39;it after gellation of the reaction mixture a viscosity lowering reacting agent of a certain class and continuing repeatedly to gellation stage said reaction resin. It is understood, though, that the reaction product obtained without the repeated viscosity lowering additive is equally acceptable and useful. In cases where a viscosity lowering additive has been employed, the product is a more desirable species. All the resins obtained by condensation of (a), (b), (c) and (d) are within the purview of this invention, since the viscosity limitation which is placed on the dye-resin mixture as one factor in this invention delineates the acceptable from the unacceptable resins.  
  In further describing the above resins, these can be classified as modifications of urea, alkylene polyamine and formaldehyde where part of the urea component has been replaced by other amine components such as amino triazines and the reaction is carried out in a specific way if it is desired to obtain a more efficacious product.  
  As mentioned before, urea is a component in the reaction. Alkylene polyamine is another component and it may be conveniently represented by the formula H N(C,,H ,,HN),H where x is 1 to 4 and n is 2 or 3. As the partially urea replacing component the following groups of compounds are used: aminotriazines such as melamines (preferred) ammeline, formoguanamine, acetoguanamine, propionoguanamine, 4N-methyl 2 acetoguanamine, 4N ethyl 2 acetoguanamines, etc., thioureas, dicyandiamide and guanidine.  
 The gelation preventing condensation reaction extending viscosity lowering agents are water-soluble, non-ionic aliphatic compounds or mixtures thereof such as formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, methyl alcohol, ethylalcohol, normal propyl alcohol, ethylalcohol, normal propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, tertiary butyl alcohol, aliphatic polyols, such as ethylene glycol, glyerine, diethylene glycols, triethylene glycols, glucose as well as other non-ionic compounds such as furfuryl alcohol, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethy-formamide, etc. Preparations of the above resins with and without the viscosity lowering additive maybe understood by reference to U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,826,500, 2,856,314, 2,902,472 and 3,223,513. The above patent disclosures are incorporated in the present application to avoid an undue length of this specification.  
  Another class of resins which is useful in this invention is a class of cationic, water soluble, thermosetting resins which are prepared by reacting (a) dibasic acid (b) alkylene polyamine with or without a glycol (c) epichlorohydrin or diglycidylether and in case of an unsaturated acid, the resin may be further reacted with an ethenoid compound resin.  
  Dibasic acids or polybasic acids suitable in preparing these resins which are useful in the novel printing fluids of this invention are those described in U.S. Patents 3,086,961, 2,926,154 and 2,926,l 16. These are in general of the formula HOOCR-COOH and are dibasic acids of from C to C carbon atoms where R can be a saturated aliphatic moiety such as in a diglycolic acid, and aliphatic hydrocarbon moiety such as in adipic acid, alicyclic acids moiety and aromatic moiety. Polybasic aromatic acids and acids where R is an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon moiety are also disclosed in British Pat. No. 917,254. All of the above patent disclosures are incorporated in the present specification to avoid undue duplication of material.  
  Polyamines of the alkylene polyamine disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,086,961, 2,926,154 and 2,926,116 are type represented by the following formula:  
 Y is H and C,,,H ,,,NH  
 m is an integer from 2 to 4 p is an integer from 1 to 4 Alkylene glycols suitable for reacting with the polybasic acid, alkylene polyamide are represented by the following formula:  
 g is an integer of from to 6 and m is an integer from 2 to 4.  
  These glycols are further described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,086,961.  
  As a crosslinking agent after either the polybasic acid and alkylene polyamine have been reacted or after the polybasic acid, alkylene polyamine and glycol have been reacted are halohydrins such as epichlorohydrin. Other crosslinking agents are alpha, omega dichloroalkylenes and other similar agents.  
  1f the polybasic acids are unsaturated these may be further reacted with ethenoid compounds such as vinylacetate, esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid, etc. Products of this nature are illustrated in British Pat. No. 917,254.  
  Another class of resins which is useful in this invention are the cationic ureaformaldehyde resins, prepared with or without following the sequential condensation procedure as described in British Pat. No. 912,902. The resins of this class are obtained by a process of making cationic, amine-modified, urea formaldehyde resins by the acid condensation of a reaction mixture of urea, formaldehyde and at least one polyalkylene polyamine of the formula x being an integer from 1 to and n being 2 or 3.  
  1f the reaction mixture is susceptible of polymerization to a gell stage, this may be avoided by including a viscosity lowering additive in the reaction mixture to inhibit gelation thereof. These additives are water soluble, non-ionic, aliphatic compounds. As additive is introduced into the reaction mixture at the time of incipient gelation thereof whereupon the condensation reaction can be continued to the point of incipient gelation. This procedure permits continuation of condensation,  
 and production of resins of altered physical and chemical properties, ordinarily prohibited by gelation of the usual reaction mixtures. Thus, in the production of the preferred resins the inclusion of a water-soluble, nonionic aliphatic compound which is hydroxylated in aqueous solution, such as formaldehyde, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, normal propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, tertiary butyl alcohol, aliphatic polyols, including ethylene glycol, glycerine, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, gluscose, and other non-ionic compounds, for example, furfuryl alcohol, in the urea-formaldehyde-polyalkylene polyamine reaction mixture inhibits gelation thereof or lowers the viscosity of partially gelled reaction mixtures sufficiently so that the condensation reaction and conversion to effective resin may be extended. Depending somewhat upon the amount of additive employed and its application in increments, a repetitive cycle of incipient gelation, reduction in viscosity, incipient gelation, extends the condensation reaction to the point that the ultimate composition product is a preferred wet-strength paper resin.  
  However, it shall be understood that the ureaformaldehydeamine modified resins are in general prepared by a conventional condensation terminated at a given viscosity, rather than by the sequential gelationdilution reaction. Therefore, both types of resins within this class are within the purview of this invention.  
  Still further classes of resins which are useful in preparing printing fluids which are within the generic scope of this invention are those classes of resins which are useful in preparing specific printing fluids disclosed and claimed in the following copending and related applications: U.S. Ser. No. 424,220; U.S. Ser. No. 424,222; and U.S. Ser. No. 424,226; all of which were filed on Jan. 8, 1965. The disclosures of these applications are hereby incorporated in present application by reference thereto.  
  In order to render the cationic resins acceptable for printing purposes the resins may need to be modified by acidic catalysts compatible with the dye-resin solutions. Generally, the urea-formaldehyde cationic resins, as well as the polyurea type resins, are used in conjunction with the acidic catalyst. Examples of such acid catalysts are acetic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, diglycolic acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, ammonium chloride, etc. Polyamine type resins illustrated above are pH independent and do not require catalysts. However, some pH adjustment might be required with certain dyes for compatibility and stability purposes.  
  Further, to improve fluid stability, particularly at low resin-to-dye ratios, fluid additives are included; these are exemplified by compounds such as formaldehyde, methyl alcohol, glyoxal, glycols such as ethylene/- glycol(low molecular-weight polyethylene glycol) and propylene glycol, glycol ethers such as Cellosolve and Carbitol; formamide, dimethylformamide, polyvinyl pyrolidone, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and the like compounds such as compounds with hydroxy containing moieties or highly polar unreactive compounds, etc.  
  Urea may also be added to the present fluids for dye solubilizing and formaldehyde scavenging. If problems exist with fluid afflnity for gravure rolls, which are generally chrome plated, surface-active agents may be added. Examples of these are non-ionic surface-active agents such as nonylphenoxypoly-(ethylenoxide) and others obtainable from Atlas Chemical Corp. such as the Atoms, Atmul, and Tween series of non ionics.  
  This printing fluid, as further amplified herein, is suit-&#39; able for rotogravure intaglio printing of papers having an absorbency time of up to 600 see/0.010 ml. of water. The more preferred papers have an absorbency rate as depicted in the following table.  
  The tests described above are conducted under atmospheric conditions controlled to 75 i 2F and 60 i 2% RH.  
  Fluid stability at room temperature (77F.) is herein defined as the period of time intercurring between the manufacture of a fluid and the appearance of physicalchemical changes that would adversely affect operabil- TABLE ABSORBENT PAPERS Most More Type of Paper Preferred Preferred Preferred Multi-Ply Toilet/Facial Tissues Basis Weight lb./rcam 9.2 10.7 7.5 l 1.5 5.0 15.0 Absorbency sec/0.10 ml. 10 0 l 0 180 Single Ply Toilet Tissue Basis Weight lb./ream 1 1.5 14.0 9.0 16.0 7.0 20.0 Absorbency see./0.0l ml. 0 60 0 l2() 0 300 Single Ply Towel/Wiper Basis Weight IbJream 20.0 360 l [.0 40.0 l0.0 50.0 Absorbency see/0.10 ml. 0 60 0 360 0 600 Multi-ply Towel/Wiper Basis Weight lb./ream 9.0 20.0 8.0 2L0 5 0 25.0 Absorbency sec/0. ml. 0 60 0 300 0 600 Single Ply Napkin Basis Weight lb./ream 12.0 15.5 9.0 l9.0 6.0 25.0 Absorbency see./0.0l ml. 0 100 0 360 O 600 Multi-Ply Napkin Basis Weight lb./ream 9.7 11.2 7.0 15.0 5.0 20.0 Absorbency see/0.10 ml. 0 300 0 600 0 600 Basis weight expressed in pounds per ream (lb/ream). A ream as used herein is 24 inches X 36 inches X 480 sheets or a total of 2,880 square feet.  
  Absorbency is expressed in seconds as the time required for the paper specimen to absorb a specified volume of distilled water. The area of each specimen (obtained from a retail unit) is to be no less than 9 square inches, cut to 3 inches X 3 inches. The specimen to be tested will be suspended in a suitable frame to provide a flat, undistorted surface with no contact, on either side of the specimen, with any other surface or material. With the specimen thus prepared, the specific volume of water in a single drop will be lowered by appropriately divisioned pipette to the surface of the specimen. Timing begins as the water drop touches the specimen and ends with complete absorption defined as the instant at which the water on the surfacefails to re flect light.  
 For Single Ply Tissue and/or Napkins: 0.01 ml H O For All Others: 0. [0 ml H O Samples from each case will be from no less than 10 percent of the retail units contained therein. Each individual test will be the result of three (3) drops/side, reporting the 6-drop coverage as the individual test result. The average of these tests will represent the absorbency.  
 ity. These changes usually take place over a period of time and the limiting factors from the standpoint of fluid utilization are the following:  
  A 25 percent change in fluid viscosity from the original value and a departure from the initial onephase solution.  
  Stability is measured on an arbitrary scale defined for most preferred fluids as A, signifying a stability of one month or more, for apreferred fluids as B, signifying a stability of 1 week to a month, for useable fluids as C, the stability ranging from 1 hour to 1 week and for unacceptable fluids as O, the stability being 1 hour or less or complete incompatibility in fluid components.  
  Fluid stability as herein defined is also indicative of shelf life or storage life. Storage life, as defined by the Packaging Institute in the Glossary of Packaging Terms, 2nd ed., Riverside Press, Essex Conn., 1955 is the period of time during which a packaged product can be stored under specific temperature conditions and remain suitable for use. Sometimes called shelf life.  
  Even if a proper amount of dye can be dissolved in the solution it may not be acceptable because of the bleeding in water or transfer value test.  
  The novel printing fluids can also be cleaned which is hardly possible with thepigmented printing fluids since filtering or centrifugation would remove pigment tinctorial material. This property of the novel fluid gives rise to a recirculating system as, in the case of loosely-bonded absorbent papers, the paper dust and loose fibers must be removed from the fluid in order not to overload the system with particulate materials. Therefore, the need for a low-viscosity aqueous solution is important as these solutions can be easily cleaned or separated from impurities such as by centrifugation. This viscosity criterion is of importance because the impurities are removed by cleaning means such as those based upon differences in specific gravity. Consequently, dust-laden webs as well as looselybonded webs can be printed by means of these fluids because the fluids are cleanable.  
  Transference, as previously mentioned, relates to the ability of the printed area to resist water washing or bleeding after the resin has cured to the thermosetting state.  
  Transference solutions establishing the standard values for the different resin dye mixtures and classifying acceptable fluids are given below:  
  Transfer is herein defined as the amount of tinctorial material removed from the original colored area by the addition of distilled water and transferred to either an unprinted area of the same substrate or onto another substrate when physical contact is established.

  For the process to be operative at the high-web velocities such as around 5000 ft./min. the viscosity of the fluid must be kept within certain limits. At lower web velocities the viscosity may be higher such as about 20 cps., but again, a more viscous fluid picks up more fiber and may be harder to filter and for this reason is not desirable. For purposes of this process viscosities below cps are preferred. The more preferred range of viscosity for the fluid is of from about 3 cps to 10 cps while the most preferred range is about 3 cps to about 7 cps at 77F.  
  In the instant case procedure for determination of liquid viscosities by the Cannon-Fenske Routine Viscometer was used. Equipment needed for viscosity determination includes a constant-temperature bath with thermometer, heating and cooling coils, thermostat, stirrer, a timer and the proper size Cannon-Fenske Routine Viscometer tubes. Size 50 tube is recommended for a range of 0.8 to 3.2 centistokes, size 100 tube for 3 to 12 centistokes, size 150 tube for 7 to 28 centistokes and size 200 tube for to 80 centistokes.  
  The bath temperature is maintained at 250C 1 01C. The viscosity in centipoises is then calculated by multiplying the centistoke viscosity by the liquid density at C. The liquid density at 25C is calculated by the following equation: Density of liquid at 25C (sp.g. at tF) (dens. waterat 60F) (dens. water at 25C/dens. water at tF) (.00610) [(sp. g. at tF)/(dens. water at tF)] The above procedure as employed herein is discussed by M. R. Cannon and M. R. Fenske in Ind. Eng. Chem., Anal, Ed.&#39;, 10,297 (1938).  
  In another aspect the present fluid differs from those of prior art, namely, surface tension. While most of the prior art fluids are designed with low surface tension characteristics to allow the wetting of the roll by the viscous fluid, presently defined fluids are operable at high-surface tension values because low viscosity fluid wets the intaglio surface at acceptable rates. Depending on the degree of surface wetting the surface tension may be varied by adding minor amounts of wetting agents to give the best results. The preferred values are below 50 dynes/cm and below the surface value of pure water (72 dynes/cm). An acceptable range is from about 30 dynes/cm to about 60 dynes/cm. The surface tension is measured by means of Cenco-duNouy tensiometer.  
  In comparing the print obtained by means of the prior art pigmented rotogravure inks with the print obtained by the novel fluid the following differences exist. The prior art inks are opaque, i.e., they have considerable hiding power (impervious to the rays of light). On the other hand, the present dyes are transparent although these may be colored. The color value adjustment in prior art is obtained by adding white pigment and coloring. In the present fluids it is performed by preparing a different fluid with a different dye concentration. ln practicing this invention, the white pigment is not needed and its place is taken by the color of the substrate, i.e., the color of fibers which are for the most part white for bleached pulp. Consequently a component previously required in a rotogravure ink is now eliminated. Of course, the printing of colored base sheets necessitates the use of colors that, upon becoming deposited on the base sheets, will give the&#39;needed color, e.g., a blue base sheet must be printed with yellow dye-resin solution to obtain a green color.  
  Besides the above factors which contribute to the acceptance of the present fluids, the cost factor is an equally important consideration herein. For example, the cost as well as the necessity of grinding of pigment is eliminated because no pigment is used in this process. Reproducibility of color is extremely good because of standardized dyes and standardized colors. uniformity of fluid concentration is easily maintained even during very long runs as no large amounts of volatile solvents are used which require constant adjustment. Needless to say, these advantages render the present fluid much less costly and especially suitable for modern high speed mass production methods.
