Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing color photographic images. Fillers are added to the color developer used during development to ensure that the developer properties remain constant.
- Such fillers are also called “replenisher” in English and “regenerator” in German.
- the concentration of the substances consumed during the development process is kept at the desired value.
- more filler is added than corresponds to the actual loss of the developer bath. This results in an overflow of developer solution which is relatively rich in halide, while the halide concentration in the replenisher is kept lower.
- the filler may not contain any halide at all. The overflow is either let into the wastewater or freed of halide, in particular bromide, for example by ion exchange resins or dialysis systems and can be used again after the addition of refreshing chemicals.
- LR regeneration low replenishment regeneration solutions
- the regeneration rate is understood to mean the amount of filler added per m 2 of the developed recording material.
- Another problem is the reduction in volume due to evaporation, especially during the idle time of a developing machine.
- the lack of volume empirical values must be added to the developer solution before starting operation.
- the invention had for its object to provide a method for developing color photographic recording materials in which these disadvantages do not occur.
- a process has now been found for producing color photographic images in which the development of the exposed silver halide-containing recording material is carried out in a development bath which contains at least one p-phenylenediamine.
- a recording material is used for this purpose, the silver halide of which consists of at least 40 mol%, in particular at least 70 mol%, of silver chloride; furthermore, only so much filler is added to the developer bath during development that there is no overflow.
- the process according to the invention comprises at least one development step in which the exposed silver halide is reduced to silver, a bleaching for the oxidation of the reduced silver and a fixation for removing the silver salts from the recording materials.
- Bleaching and fixing can be combined in a manner known per se under certain circumstances.
- the color development is carried out in an aqueous developer bath.
- the temperature of the developer solution can be above that for normal regeneration in general usual value remain, also the silver chloride-rich material allows a much shorter development time.
- the usual conditions for color development can be observed during development.
- the development takes place at a pH of above 8, preferably above 9.5.
- the concentration of the color developer substances depends on the circumstances, a concentration of about 4 to 40 mmol / l of the ready-to-use developer solution is particularly preferred.
- Development can be carried out in the presence of pH buffers, development inhibitors, anti-fogging agents, water softening complexing agents, preservatives, development accelerators, competitive couplers, fogging agents, auxiliary developer compounds and viscosity modifiers; Reference is made to Research Disclosure 17 544 of December 1978, published by Industrial Opportunities Ltd., Homewell Havant, Hampshire, Great Britain, Section XXI and Ullmanns Encyclopedia of Technical Chemistry, 4th Edition, Volume 18, 1979, in particular pages 451, 452 and 463 to 465. A detailed description of suitable developer compositions and processing methods is given by Grant Haist, Modern Photographic Processing, John Wiley and Sons, 1973, Volumes 1 and 2.
- the usual developer substances can be used in the context of the present invention. These preferably contain p-phenylenediamine derivatives as color developer substance, for example: N, N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine, 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-methoxyethylaniline, 2-amino-5-diethylamino-toluene , N-butyl-N- ⁇ -sulfobutyl-p-phenylenediamine, 2-amino-5- (N-ethyl-N-ß-methanesulfonamidoethylamino) toluene, N-ethyl-NB-hydroxyethyl-p-phenylenediamine, N, N - bis (B-hydroxyethyl) -p-phenylenediamine, 2-amino-5- (N-ethyl-N- ⁇ -hydroxyethylamino) toluene.
- the developing bath contains the following developer substance A.
- the developer bath is supplemented with a filler.
- the latter is added in such a concentration and amount that there is no overflow, but in such a way that the loss of bath components is compensated for.
- the replenisher does not contain bromide.
- the proportion of silver bromide in the silver halide emulsions is chosen so that the bromide emerging from the recording material keeps the desired bromide concentration in the developer solution constant.
- the recording material consists of 100% silver chloride emulsions and the replenisher contains the same bromide concentration as the developer solution.
- the regeneration rate depends, among other things, on the composition of the recording material and the components of the replenisher.
- a replenisher is used which contains a concentration of 0.02-0.04 mol / l of developer substance A. Under these circumstances, a regeneration rate of approximately 80 to 100 ml / m 2 is particularly advantageous.
- the liquid con Assembled partial concentrates individually metered directly into the developer solution, the total volume metered in being to be less than the carried-over volume. The latter is then supplemented by a water refill device.
- bleaching and fixing can be carried out in a conventional manner, and these steps can also be summarized.
- the usual bleaching agents can be used.
- Salts and complexes of trivalent iron and persulfates are particularly suitable.

- the blue-sensitive layer can contain, for example, at least one non-diffusing color coupler for producing the yellow partial color image, usually a color coupler with an open-chain ketomethylene grouping.
- the color couplers can e.g. are 6, 4 and 2 equivalent couplers. Suitable couplers are known, for example, from the publications "Color Coupler" by W.
- such color couplers are used which couple sufficiently even without the usual addition of benzyl alcohol.
- Benzyl alcohol is usually used as a phase transfer agent so that the coupling between oxidized color developer and coupler to the image dyes in ge desired degree expires.
- benzyl alcohol is a constant source of interference, especially due to tar formation.
- Suitable couplers which can be processed without benzyl alcohol are specified in DE-A 3 209 710, DE-A 2 441 779, DE-A 2 640 601 and EP-A 0 067 689.

Abstract
Farbfotografische Bilder werden hergestellt durch Entwicklung eines Aufzeichnungsmaterials, dessen Silberhalogenid zu wenigstens 40 Mol-% aus Silberchlorid besteht, wobei dem Entwicklerbad zur Regenerierung nur soviel Auffüllmittel gegeben wird, daß kein Überlauf entsteht.Color photographic images are produced by developing a recording material whose silver halide consists of at least 40 mol% of silver chloride, with the developer bath being replenished with so much filler that no overflow occurs.
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung farbfotografischer Bilder. Dem hierbei verwendeten Farbentwickler werden während der Entwicklung Auffüllmittel zugegeben, um eine Konstanz der Entwicklereigenschaften zu gewährleisten.The present invention relates to a method for producing color photographic images. Fillers are added to the color developer used during development to ensure that the developer properties remain constant.
Bekanntlich werden farbfotografische Bilder in großem Umfange durch Entwicklung belichteter Silberhalogenidaufzeichnungsmaterialien hergestellt. Während der Entwicklung kommt es zu einer Veränderung der Zusammensetzung im Entwicklerbad: beispielsweise erniedrigt sich die Konzentration der Farbentwicklersubstanz, während die Konzentration des Halogenids durch Diffusion aus dem entwickelten Material in das Bad steigt. Trifft man keine Gegenmaßnahmen, kommt es deshalb zu einer Veränderung der Entwickleraktivität. Es ist aus zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen, z.B. aus den DE-A 2 007 459, 2 007 457, 2 717 674, US-A 3 647 461, US-A 3 647 462, US-A 4 186 007 und EP-A 0 029 722 bekannt, dem Entwicklerbad Auffüllmittel zuzusetzen, um einer derartigen Veränderung entgegenzuwirken. Derartige Auffüllmittel werden im englischen Sprachgebrauch auch als "replenisher" und im deutschen Sprachgebrauch auch als "Regenerator" bezeichnet. Durch den Zusatz des Auffüllmittels wird die Konzentration der während des Entwicklungsvorganges verbrauchten Substanzen auf den gewünschten Wert gehalten. Um gleichzeitig eine unerwünschte Anreicherung des Halogenids im Entwickler zu verhindern, wird mehr an Auffüllmittel zugegeben, als es dem tatsächlichen Verlust des Entwicklungsbades entspricht. Hierdurch kommt es zu einen Überlauf relativ halogenidreicher Entwicklerlösung, während die Halogenidkonzentration im Auffüllmittel geringer gehalten wird. Gegebenenfalls ist im Auffüllmittel überhaupt kein Halogenid enthalten. Der Überlauf wird entweder in das Abwasser eingelassen oder, z.B. durch Ionenaustauscherharze oder Dialyseanlagen, von Halogenid, insbesondere Bromid, befreit und kann nach Zugabe von Auffrischchemikalien wieder eingesetzt werden.As is well known, color photographic images are made on a large scale by developing exposed silver halide recording materials. During the development there is a change in the composition in the developer bath: for example the concentration of the color developer substance decreases, while the concentration of the halide increases due to diffusion from the developed material into the bath. If no countermeasures are taken, the developer activity will change. It is from numerous publications, for example from DE-A 2 007 459, 2 007 457, 2 717 674, US-A 3 647 461, US-A 3 647 462, US-A 4 186 007 and EP-A 0 029 722 known to add filler to the developer to counteract such a change. Such fillers are also called "replenisher" in English and "regenerator" in German. By adding the filler, the concentration of the substances consumed during the development process is kept at the desired value. To prevent undesirable accumulation of the halide in the developer at the same time, more filler is added than corresponds to the actual loss of the developer bath. This results in an overflow of developer solution which is relatively rich in halide, while the halide concentration in the replenisher is kept lower. The filler may not contain any halide at all. The overflow is either let into the wastewater or freed of halide, in particular bromide, for example by ion exchange resins or dialysis systems and can be used again after the addition of refreshing chemicals.
Im ersten Fall kann aber eine Belastung des Abwassers auftreten, während im zweiten Fall zusätzliche Kosten entstehen.In the first case, however, waste water pollution can occur, while in the second case there are additional costs.
Diese Nachteile haben zur Ausarbeitung von sogenannten Low-replenishment-Regenerierlösungen (LR-Regeneration) geführt, die die nötigen Substanzen soweit konzentriert enthalten, daß es bis jetzt möglich geworden ist, bis zur Hälfte der bisher üblichen Regenerierquote pro m2 zurückzugehen. Unter der Regenerierquote wird hierbei die zugesetzte Menge des Auffüllmittels pro m2 des entwickelten Aufzeichnungsmaterials verstanden.These disadvantages have led to the development of so-called low replenishment regeneration solutions (LR regeneration) which contain the necessary substances to such an extent that it has so far been possible to reduce up to half of the previously usual regeneration rate per m 2 . The regeneration rate is understood to mean the amount of filler added per m 2 of the developed recording material.
Der Nachteil dieser Quotenverminderung besteht darin, daß sich das aus den fotografischen Schichten austretende Bromid zu einer entsprechend höheren Konzentration anreichert, weshalb die Entwicklerlösung zur Überwindung dieser Aktivitätshemmung auf höherer Temperatur, z.B. 38 - 40°C, gehalten werden muß. Außerdem wird immer noch das Abwasser durch den, wenn auch verringerten, Überlauf belastet.The disadvantage of this quota reduction is that the bromide emerging from the photographic layers accumulates to a correspondingly higher concentration, which is why the developer solution to overcome this inhibition of activity at a higher temperature, e.g. 38 - 40 ° C, must be kept. In addition, the wastewater is still contaminated by the overflow, albeit reduced.
Versucht man die Überlaufmenge weiter zu verringern, so nähert man sich der Löslichkeitsgrenze der Entwicklersubstanzen in alkalischer Lösung. Außerdem ist mit zunehmender Bromid-Konzentration eine weitere Temperatursteigerung notwendig, durch die der Einfluß des Luftsauerstoffs und der Verdunstung immer stärker wird. Besonders störend ist, daß z.B. die häufig verwendete Entwicklersubstanz N-Ethyl-N-(ß-methylsulfonamidoethyl)-3-methyl-p-phenylendiaminsesquisulfatmonohydrat (= CD 3) durch die relativ hohe Bromidkonzentration in ihrer Arbeit gehemmt wird. Selbst die durch pH-Werte über 12 ermöglichte Steigerung der Löslichkeit reicht zusammen mit der Temperaturerhöhung nicht aus, um das gewünschte Entwicklungsergebnis zu erzielen. Eine Aktivitätssteigerung läßt sich durch Beimischung von aktiveren Entwicklersubstanzen erzielen, welche Maßnahme weitere Komplikationen mit sich bringt.If an attempt is made to further reduce the overflow amount, the solubility limit of the developer substances in alkaline solution is approached. In addition, as the bromide concentration increases, a further increase in temperature is necessary, which increases the influence of atmospheric oxygen and evaporation. It is particularly disturbing that e.g. the commonly used developer substance N-ethyl-N- (ß-methylsulfonamidoethyl) -3-methyl-p-phenylenediaminesesquisulfate monohydrate (= CD 3) is inhibited in its work by the relatively high bromide concentration. Even the increase in solubility made possible by pH values above 12, together with the temperature increase, is not sufficient to achieve the desired development result. An increase in activity can be achieved by adding more active developer substances, which measure entails further complications.
Ein weiteres Problem ist die vor allem während der Stehzeiten einer Entwicklungsmaschine auftretende Volumenverringerung durch Verdunstung. Das fehlende Volumen muß der Entwicklerlösung vor Betriebsbeginn nach Erfahrungswerten zugegeben werden.Another problem is the reduction in volume due to evaporation, especially during the idle time of a developing machine. The lack of volume empirical values must be added to the developer solution before starting operation.
Der Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Entwicklung farbfotografischer Aufzeichnungsmaterialien anzugeben, bei dem diese Nachteile nicht auftreten.The invention had for its object to provide a method for developing color photographic recording materials in which these disadvantages do not occur.
Es wurde nun ein Verfahren zur Herstellung farbfotografischer Bilder gefunden, bei dem die Entwicklung des belichteten Silberhalogenid-haltigen Aufzeichnungsmaterials in einem Entwicklungsbad vorgenommen wird, welches wenigstens ein p-Phenylendiamin enthält. Erfindungsgemäß wird hierzu ein Aufzeichnungsmaterial verwendet, dessen Silberhalogenid zu wenigstens 40 Mol-%, insbesondere zu wenigstens 70 Mol-% aus Silberchlorid besteht; weiterhin wird dem Entwicklerbad nur so viel an Auffüllmittel während der Entwicklung zugegeben, daß kein Überlauf entsteht.A process has now been found for producing color photographic images in which the development of the exposed silver halide-containing recording material is carried out in a development bath which contains at least one p-phenylenediamine. According to the invention, a recording material is used for this purpose, the silver halide of which consists of at least 40 mol%, in particular at least 70 mol%, of silver chloride; furthermore, only so much filler is added to the developer bath during development that there is no overflow.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren umfaßt wenigstens einen Entwicklungsschritt, bei welchem das belichtete Silberhalogenid zu Silber reduziert wird, eine Bleichung zur Oxidation des reduzierten Silbers und eine Fixage zur Entfernung der Silbersalze aus den Aufzeichnungsmaterialien. Bleichung und Fixage können in an sich bekannter Weise unter Umständen zusammengefaßt werden.The process according to the invention comprises at least one development step in which the exposed silver halide is reduced to silver, a bleaching for the oxidation of the reduced silver and a fixation for removing the silver salts from the recording materials. Bleaching and fixing can be combined in a manner known per se under certain circumstances.
Die Farbentwicklung wird in einem wäßrigen Entwicklerbad durchgeführt. Die Temperatur der Entwicklerlösung kann auf dem für die normale Regeneration allgemein üblichen Wert bleiben, außerdem gestattet das silberchloridreiche Material eine wesentlich kürzere Entwicklungszeit.The color development is carried out in an aqueous developer bath. The temperature of the developer solution can be above that for normal regeneration in general usual value remain, also the silver chloride-rich material allows a much shorter development time.
Bei der Entwicklung können die üblichen Bedingungen der Farbentwicklung eingehalten werden. In der Regel findet die Entwicklung bei einem pH-Wert von über 8, vorzugsweise von über 9,5 statt. Die Konzentration der Farbentwicklersubstanzen hängt jeweils von den Umständen ab, eine Konzentration von etwa 4 bis 40 mMol/1 der gebrauchsfertigen Entwicklerlösung ist besonders bevorzugt.The usual conditions for color development can be observed during development. As a rule, the development takes place at a pH of above 8, preferably above 9.5. The concentration of the color developer substances depends on the circumstances, a concentration of about 4 to 40 mmol / l of the ready-to-use developer solution is particularly preferred.
Die Entwicklung kann in Gegenwart von pH-Puffern, Entwicklungsinhibitoren, Antischleiermitteln, Komplexbildnern zur Wasserenthärtung, Konservierungsmitteln, Entwicklungsbeschleunigern, Konkurrenzkupplern, Verschleierungsmitteln, Hilfsentwicklerverbindungen und Viskositätsmodifizierungsmitteln durchgeführt werden; verwiesen wird auf die Research Disclosure 17 544 vom Dezember 1978, herausgegeben von Industrial Opportunities Ltd., Homewell Havant, Hampshire, Großbritannien, Abschnitt XXI und Ullmanns Enzyklopädie der technischen Chemie, 4.

Letzteres wird in einer derartigen Konzentration und Menge zugesetzt, daß kein Überlauf entsteht, aber so, daß der Verlust an Badbestandteilen ausgeglichen wird.According to the invention, the developer bath is supplemented with a filler. The latter is added in such a concentration and amount that there is no overflow, but in such a way that the loss of bath components is compensated for.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform enthält das Auffüllmittel kein Bromid. Hierbei wird der Silberbromid-Anteil in den Silberhalogenidemulsionen so gewählt, daß das aus dem Aufzeichnungsmaterial austretende Bromid die gewünschte Bromidkonzentration in der Entwicklerlösung konstant hält.In a preferred embodiment, the replenisher does not contain bromide. Here, the proportion of silver bromide in the silver halide emulsions is chosen so that the bromide emerging from the recording material keeps the desired bromide concentration in the developer solution constant.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht das Aufzeichnungsmaterial zu 100 % aus Silberchloridemulsionen und das Auffüllmittel enthält die gleiche Bromidkonzentration wie die Entwicklerlösung.In a further preferred embodiment, the recording material consists of 100% silver chloride emulsions and the replenisher contains the same bromide concentration as the developer solution.
Die Regenerierquote ist abhängig unter anderem von der Zusammensetzung des Aufzeichnungsmaterials und den Bestandteilen des Auffüllmittels. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird ein Auffüllmittel verwendet, das eine Konzentration von 0,02 - 0,04 Mol/1 der Entwicklersubstanz A enthält. Unter diesen Umständen ist eine Regenerierquote von ca. 80 bis 100 ml/m2 besonders vorteilhaft.The regeneration rate depends, among other things, on the composition of the recording material and the components of the replenisher. In a preferred embodiment, a replenisher is used which contains a concentration of 0.02-0.04 mol / l of developer substance A. Under these circumstances, a regeneration rate of approximately 80 to 100 ml / m 2 is particularly advantageous.
Es wurde weiterhin gefunden, daß der Volumenverlust durch Verdunstung auf einfache Weise dadurch automatisch ausgeglichen werden kann, daß die Regenerierquote etwas geringer als die Verschleppungsrate eingesetzt wird und der verbleibende Volumenunterschuß durch eine einfache Wassernachfülleinrichtung ergänzt wird.It has also been found that the loss of volume due to evaporation can be compensated automatically in a simple manner by using the regeneration rate somewhat less than the carry-over rate and by adding a simple water refill device to the remaining volume deficit.
In einer Ausführungsform werden die üblicherweise für den Ansatz des Auffüllmittels verwendeten flüssig konfektionierten Teilkonzentrate einzeln der Entwicklerlösung unmittelbar zudosiert, wobei das zudosierte Gesamtvolumen geringer als das verschleppte Volumen sein soll. Letzteres wird dann durch eine Wassernachfüllvorrichtung ergänzt.In one embodiment, the liquid con Assembled partial concentrates individually metered directly into the developer solution, the total volume metered in being to be less than the carried-over volume. The latter is then supplemented by a water refill device.
Im Anschluß an die Entwicklung kann in an sich üblicher Weise gebleicht und fixiert werden, wobei diese Schritte auch zusammengefaßt werden können. Es können die üblichen Bleichmittel verwendet werden. Besonders geeignet sind Salze und Komplexe des dreiwertigen Eisens sowie Persulfate. Geeignete Eisen-III-Komplexe sind z.B. Komplexe mit Aminopolycarbonsäuren, z.B. Ethylendiamin-tetraessigsäure, Nitrilotriessigsäure und 1,3-Di- amino-2-propanol-tetraessigsäure und Hexacyanoferrate. Zur Fixage können übliche Fixierbäder verwendet werden, die als Hauptbestandteil ein Silberhalogenidlösungsmittel enthalten. Besonders bevorzugt sind Thiosulfate, Weiterhin können die Fixierbäder Sulfite, Borate und sonstige übliche Zusätze enthalten.Following the development, bleaching and fixing can be carried out in a conventional manner, and these steps can also be summarized. The usual bleaching agents can be used. Salts and complexes of trivalent iron and persulfates are particularly suitable. Suitable iron III complexes are e.g. Complexes with aminopolycarboxylic acids, e.g. Ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid and 1,3-di-amino-2-propanol-tetraacetic acid and hexacyanoferrate. Conventional fixing baths containing a silver halide solvent as the main component can be used for the fixation. Thiosulfates are particularly preferred. The fixing baths can furthermore contain sulfites, borates and other customary additives.
Den lichtempfindlichen Silberhalogenidemulsionsschichten sind Farbkuppler zugeordnet, die mit Farbentwickleroxidationsprodukten unter Bildung eines nichtdiffundierenden Farbstoffes reagieren. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Farbkuppler nichtdiffundierend in der lichtempfindlichen Schicht selbst oder in enger Nachbarschaft hierzu untergebracht.Color couplers are assigned to the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, which react with color developer oxidation products to form a non-diffusing dye. The color couplers are expediently housed in a non-diffusing manner in the light-sensitive layer itself or in close proximity to it.
So kann die rotempfindliche Schicht beispielsweise einen nicht-diffundierenden Farbkuppler zur Erzeugung des blaugrünen Teilfarbenbildes enthalten, in der Regel einen Kuppler vom Phenol- oder oG-Naphtholtyp. Die grünempfindliche Schicht kann beispielsweise mindestens einen nicht-diffundierenden Farbkuppler zur Erzeugung des purpurnen Teilfarbenbildes enthalten, wobei üblicherweise Farbkuppler vom Typ des 5-Pyrazolons verwendet werden. Die blauempfindliche Schicht kann beispielsweise mindestens einen nicht-diffundierenden Farbkuppler zur Erzeugung des gelben Teilfarbenbildes, in der Regel einen Farbkuppler mit einer offenkettigen Ketomethylengruppierung enthalten. Bei den Farbkupplern kann es sich z.B. um 6-, 4- und um 2-Äquivalentkuppler handeln. Geeignete Kuppler sind beispielsweise bekannt aus den Veröffentlichungen "Farbkuppler" von W. Pelz in "Mitteilungen aus den Forschungslaboratorien der Agfa, Leverkusen/ München", Band III, Seite 111 (1961), K. Venkataraman in "The Chemistry of Synthetic Dyes", Vol. 4, 341 bis 387, Academic Press (1971) und T.H. James, "The Theory of the Photographic Process", 4. Ed., S. 353-362, sowie aus der Zeitschrift Research Disclosure Nr. 17643, Abschnitt VII.For example, the red-sensitive layer can contain a non-diffusing color coupler for producing the blue-green partial color image, usually a coupler of the phenol or oG-naphthol type. The green-sensitive layer can contain, for example, at least one non-diffusing color coupler for producing the purple partial color image, color couplers of the 5-pyrazolone type usually being used. The blue-sensitive layer can contain, for example, at least one non-diffusing color coupler for producing the yellow partial color image, usually a color coupler with an open-chain ketomethylene grouping. The color couplers can e.g. are 6, 4 and 2 equivalent couplers. Suitable couplers are known, for example, from the publications "Color Coupler" by W. Pelz in "Messages from the Research Laboratories of Agfa, Leverkusen / Munich", Volume III, page 111 (1961), K. Venkataraman in "The Chemistry of Synthetic Dyes", Vol. 4, 341 to 387, Academic Press (1971) and TH James, "The Theory of the Photographic Process", 4th Ed., Pp. 353-362, and from Research Disclosure No. 17643, Section VII.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden derartige Farbkuppler verwendet, die auch ohne den üblichen Zusatz von Benzylalkohol ausreichend kuppeln. Benzylalkohol wird üblicherweise als Phasentransfermittel eingesetzt, damit die Kupplung zwischen oxidierten Farbentwickler und Kuppler zu den Bildfarbstoffen in gewünschtem Maß abläuft. Benzylalkohol ist aber im praktischen Betrieb eine ständige Quelle von Störungen, vor allem durch Teerbildung. Geeignete Kuppler, die sich ohne Benzylalkohol verarbeiten lassen, sind angegeben in den DE-A 3 209 710, DE-A 2 441 779, DE-A 2 640 601 und EP-A 0 067 689.In a particularly preferred embodiment, such color couplers are used which couple sufficiently even without the usual addition of benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol is usually used as a phase transfer agent so that the coupling between oxidized color developer and coupler to the image dyes in ge desired degree expires. In practice, however, benzyl alcohol is a constant source of interference, especially due to tar formation. Suitable couplers which can be processed without benzyl alcohol are specified in DE-A 3 209 710, DE-A 2 441 779, DE-A 2 640 601 and EP-A 0 067 689.
Besonders bevorzugte Gelbkuppler weisen folgende Struktur auf:
Besonders bevorzugte Purpurkuppler sind:
Besonders bevorzugte Blaugrünkuppler sind:
Weitere besonders bevorzugte Blaugrünkuppler sind Phenole, die in m-Stellung zur phenolischen OH-Gruppe einen Alkylrest mit wenigstens 2 C-Atomen aufweisen. Besonders bevorzugte Kuppler dieser Art sind z.B. in der DE-A 33 40 270 angegeben.Further particularly preferred cyan couplers are phenols which have an alkyl radical with at least 2 carbon atoms in the m position to the phenolic OH group. Particularly preferred couplers of this type are given, for example, in DE-A 33 40 270.
Das Aufzeichnungsmaterial kann weiterhin DIR-Verbindungen und die sogenannten Weißkuppler, die bei Reaktion mit Farbentwickleroxidationsprodukten keinen Farbstoff ergeben, enthalten. Unter DIR-Verbindungen werden derartige Verbindungen verstanden, die bei der Reaktion mit Farbentwickleroxidationsprodukten diffundierende organische Verbindungen in Freiheit setzen, die die Entwicklung von Silberhalogenid inhibieren. Die Inhibitoren können unmittelbar oder über nicht hemmende Zwischenverbindungen abgespalten werden. Verwiesen wird auf GB 953 454, US 3 632 345, US 4 248 962 und GB 2 072 363.The recording material can also contain DIR compounds and the so-called white couplers, which do not give any dye when reacted with color developer oxidation products. DIR compounds are understood to mean those compounds which, when reacted with color developer oxidation products, release diffusing organic compounds which inhibit the development of silver halide. The inhibitors can be eliminated directly or via non-inhibiting intermediates. Reference is made to GB 953 454, US 3,632,345, US 4,248,962 and GB 2,072,363.
Die verwendeten lichtempfindlichen Silberhalogenidemulsionen können als Halogenid Chlorid, Bromid und Iodid bzw. Mischungen davon enthalten. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht der Halogenidanteil wenigstens zu 90 Mol-% aus AgCl. Grundsätzlich können die Silberhalogenidkörner einen geschichteten Kornaufbau aus einem Kern und wenigstens einer Hülle aufweisen.The light-sensitive silver halide emulsions used can contain chloride, bromide and iodide or mixtures thereof as the halide. In a preferred embodiment, the halide content consists of at least 90 mol% of AgCl. In principle, the silver halide grains can have a layered grain structure consisting of a core and at least one shell.
In einer Ausführungsform weisen die Körner einen geschichteten Kornaufbau aus wenigstens zwei Bereichen unterschiedlicher Halogenidzusammensetzung - z.B. einem Kern und wenigstens einer Hülle - auf, wobei mindestens ein Bereich B wenigstens 10 Mol-% Silberbromid, vorzugsweise wenigstens 25 Mol-% Silberbromid, aber weniger als 50 % Silberbromid enthält.In one embodiment, the grains have a layered grain structure from at least two areas of different halide composition - e.g. a core and at least one shell -, wherein at least one region B contains at least 10 mol% of silver bromide, preferably at least 25 mol% of silver bromide, but less than 50% of silver bromide.
Der Bereich B kann sowohl als Kern sowie als Hülle um einen Kern vorliegen. Bevorzugt enthalten die Körner einen von wenigstens einem Bereich B eingehüllten Kern. In diesem Fall kann der Bereich B als Hülle innerhalb des Silberhalogenidkorns oder an der Oberfläche des Kristalls vorliegen.The area B can be present both as a core and as a shell around a core. The grains preferably contain a core enveloped by at least one region B. In this case, region B can be present as a shell within the silver halide grain or on the surface of the crystal.
In einer anderen Ausführungsform weisen die Körner wenigstens eine Zone ZBr mit einem hohen Bromidanteil auf, wobei der Bromidanteil in der Zone ZBr wenigstens 50 Mol-% beträgt und keine bromidreiche Zone ZBr an der Oberfläche der Silberhalogenidkörner liegt.In another embodiment, the grains have at least one zone Z Br with a high bromide content, the bromide content in the zone Z Br being at least 50 mol% and no bromide-rich zone Z Br lying on the surface of the silver halide grains.
Die silberbromidreiche Zone ZBr kann hierbei als Kern oder als eine Schicht innerhalb des Silberhalogenidkorns vorliegen. Vorzugsweise befinden sich 20 Vol.-% des Silberhalogenids des Korns weiter vom Kristallzentrum entfernt als die silberbromidreiche Zone ZBr.The silver bromide-rich zone Z Br can be present as a core or as a layer within the silver halide grain. Preferably 20% by volume of the silver halide of the grain is further from the crystal center than the zone Z Br rich in silver bromide.
Grundsätzlich können die Silberhalogenidkörner Gemische von Chlorid, Bromid, Iodid aufweisen. Der Übergang von einer Zone zu einer benachbarten Zone anderer Zusammensetzung kann scharf oder kontinuierlich erfolgen.In principle, the silver halide grains can have mixtures of chloride, bromide and iodide. The transition from one zone to an adjacent zone of a different composition can be sharp or continuous.
Die Silberhalogenidemulsionen können mittels der üblichen Verfahrensweisen (z.B. Einfacheinlauf, Doppeleinlauf, mit konstantem oder beschleunigtem Stoffzufluß) hergestellt werden. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Herstellung nach dem Doppeleinlaufverfahren unter Steuerung des pAg-Wertes. Verwiesen wird auf die Zeitschrift Research Disclosure Nr. 17 643, Abschnitte I und II.The silver halide emulsions can be prepared using the customary procedures (for example single entry, double entry, with constant or accelerated material flow). The production according to the double inlet process under control is particularly preferred of the pAg value. Reference is made to the journal Research Disclosure No. 17 643, sections I and II.
Die Emulsionen können chemisch sensibilisiert sein. Besonders bevorzugt sind schwefelhaltige Verbindungen, beispielsweise Allylisothiocyanat, Allylthioharnstoff und Thiosulfate. Als chemische Sensibilisatoren können auch Reduktionsmittel, z. B. die in den belgischen Patentschriften 493 464 oder 568 687 beschriebenen Zinnverbindungen, ferner Polyamine wie Diethylentriamin oder Aminomethylsulfinsäure-Derivate, z.B. gemäß der belgischen Patentschrift 547 323, verwendet werden. Geeignet als chemische Sensibilisatoren sind auch Edelmetalle bzw. Edelmetallverbindungen wie Gold, Platin, Palladium, Iridium, Ruthenium oder Rhodium. Diese Methode der chemischen Sensibilisierung ist in dem Artikel von R. Koslowsky, Z.Wiss.Phot. 46, 65-72 (1951), beschrieben. Verwiesen wird weiter auf die oben angegebene Research Disclosure Nr. 17 643, Abschnitt III.The emulsions can be chemically sensitized. Sulfur-containing compounds, for example allyl isothiocyanate, allyl thiourea and thiosulfates, are particularly preferred. Reducing agents, e.g. B. the tin compounds described in Belgian patents 493 464 or 568 687, also polyamines such as diethylenetriamine or aminomethylsulfinic acid derivatives, e.g. according to Belgian patent 547 323. Precious metals or noble metal compounds such as gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, ruthenium or rhodium are also suitable as chemical sensitizers. This method of chemical sensitization is described in the article by R. Koslowsky, Z.Wiss.Phot. 46, 65-72 (1951). Reference is also made to Research Disclosure No. 17 643, section III.
Die Emulsionen können in an sich bekannter Weise optisch sensibilisiert werden, z.B. mit den üblichen Polymethinfarbstoffen, wie Neutrocyaninen, basischen oder sauren Carbocyaninen, Rhodacyaninen, Hemicyaninen, Styrylfarbstoffen, Oxonolen und ähnlichen, siehe F.M. Hamer in "The Cyanine Dyes and related Compounds", (1964), Ullmanns Enzyklopädie der technischen Chemie, 4. Auflage, Band 18, Seiten 431 ff und die oben angegebene Research Disclosure Nr. 17643, Abschnitt IV.The emulsions can be optically sensitized in a manner known per se, e.g. with the usual polymethine dyes, such as neutrocyanines, basic or acidic carbocyanines, rhodacyanines, hemicyanines, styryl dyes, oxonols and the like, see F.M. Hamer in "The Cyanine Dyes and related Compounds", (1964), Ullmanns Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 4th Edition, Volume 18, pages 431 ff and Research Disclosure No. 17643, Section IV, given above.
Es können die üblicherweise verwendeten Antischleiermittel und Stabilisatoren verwendet werden. Als Stabilisatoren sind besonders geeignet Azaindene, vorzugsweise Tetra- oder Pentaazaindene, insbesondere solche, die mit Hydroxyl- oder Aminogruppen substituiert sind. Derartige Verbindungen sind z.B. in dem Artikel von Birr, Z.Wiss.Phot. 47, (1952), S. 2-58, und in der oben angegebenen Research Disclosure Nr. 17643 in Abschnitt IV angegeben.The commonly used antifoggants and stabilizers can be used. Particularly suitable stabilizers are azaindenes, preferably tetra- or penta-azaindenes, in particular those which are substituted by hydroxyl or amino groups. Such connections are e.g. in the article by Birr, Z.Wiss.Phot. 47, (1952), pp. 2-58, and in Research Disclosure No. 17643 above in Section IV.

Furthermore, the constituents can also be defined as polymers in the material, see e.g. DE-OS 2 044 992, US 3 370 952 and US 4 080 211.
Für die Materialien können die üblichen Schichtträger verwendet werden, z.B. Träger aus Celluloseestern, z.B. Celluloseacetat und aus Polyestern. Geeignet sind ferner Papierträger, die gegebenenfalls beschichtet sein können z.B. mit Polyolefinen, insbesondere mit Polyethylen oder Polypropylen. Verwiesen wird diesbezüglich auf die oben angegebene Research Disclosure Nr. 17643 Abschnitt XVII.The usual layer supports can be used for the materials, for example supports made of cellulose esters, for example cellulose acetate and made of polyesters.

Durch pAg-gesteuerten Doppeleinlauf einer 0,3 n NaCl-und einer 0,3 n AgN03-Lösung zu einer auf eine Temperatur von 55°C gebrachten 2,5 %igen Gelatinelösung wird innerhalb von 25 Minuten eine Silberchloridemulsion hergestellt. Die mittlere Teilchengröße beträgt 0,15 µm und die Emulsion hat eine monodisperse Verteilung. Die Kristalle dieser Ausgangsemulsion werden durch weitere Zugabe von 2 n NaCl- und 2 n AgNO3-Lösungen auf das 36- fache Volumen vergrößert. Dabei wird der pAg-Wert auf 6,8 konstant gehalten.A silver chloride emulsion is produced within 25 minutes by pAg-controlled double entry of a 0.3 N NaCl and a 0.3 N AgNO 3 solution into a 2.5% gelatin solution brought to a temperature of 55 ° C. The average particle size is 0.15 µm and the emulsion has a monodisperse distribution. The crystals of this starting emulsion are enlarged to 36 times the volume by further addition of 2N NaCl and 2N AgNO 3 solutions. The pAg value is kept constant at 6.8.
Auf die so hergestellten AgCl-Körner wird durch gleichzeitigen Einlauf von KBr/NaCl- und AgNO3-Lösungen eine AgBr/AgCl-Hülle aufgefüllt, wobei die KBr/NaCl-Lösung 40 Mol-% Bromid enthält.An AgBr / AgCl shell is filled onto the AgCl grains thus produced by simultaneous introduction of KBr / NaCl and AgNO 3 solutions, the KBr / NaCl solution containing 40 mol% bromide.
