The invention relates to a process for preparing N,N'-dimethylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide, utilizing the reaction of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride with monomethylamine, which comprises employing at least 2 times the molar amount of monomethylamine per mole of perylene-3

The invention relates to a process for preparing N,N'-dimethylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide, utilizing the reaction of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride with monomethylamine, which comprises employing at least 2 times the molar amount of monomethylamine per mole of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride and at least 3 times the amount by weight of water based on the weight of the dianhydride, conducting the reaction at a temperature from 50 to 200.degree. C., removing unreacted monomethylamine by distillation, subjecting the resulting crude pigment to wet grinding in a liquid, aqueous or aqueous-organic medium in a stirred ballmill which is operated with a power density of more than 1.5 kW per liter of milling space and a stirrer tip speed of more than 12 m/s under the action of grinding media having a diameter of less than or equal to 0.9 mm, and isolating the pigment obtained, with the proviso that at any desired point during the process, but no later than during wet grinding, one or more additives from the group consisting of pigment dispersants and surfactants are added.
