Textile cleaning
This is found in a report describing damage to a garment during commercial cleaning. Part of the garment has been soaked in solvent, not only causing the colors to bleed but also this "abklatschen".
"Das Kleidungsstück wurde nachträglich mit Lösemittel stärker durchfeuchtet so dass hier nicht nur ein Ausbluten stattfinden konnte sondern auch ein Abklatschen durch den angelösten Farbstoff."
As far as I understand it, the treatment has caused the dye to run onto other parts of the garment, but is there a specific term for this?
TIA for your help.

color migration
Because of the solvents, the fabric dye is picked up by other garments.
Example:
"Color migration test
The next step of the test is to determine if color migration will be a problem.
[...]
If the light fabrics are stained, the dye has migrated and can cause serious permanent problems in your quilt."
