Definitions

  • This invention relates to a novel light-sensitive silver halide photographic material used for formation of photographic images. More particularly, it relates to a novel light-sensitive silver halide photographic material which is capable of forming dot images of high contrast and has high usefulness in the filed of lithography.
  • This kind of light-sensitive silver halide photographic emulsion is known as a lith type light-sensitive silver halide photographic material, which is generally used during the lithographic procedures to convert the variation in concentrations of continuous gradation in an original to the aggregation of dots having larger to smaller areas in proportion to the concentrations.
  • the lith type light-sensitive silver halide photographic material is used, whereby dot images are formed by photographing an original through means of a cross line screen or a contact screen, and then carrying out development with use of a so-called lith developer, or a lith type developing solution, which has very low sulfite ion concentration and, in addition, contains only a hydroquinone developing agent.
  • Such developing solution has inferior preservativity and is subject to autoxidation. Accordingly, in order for lithographers to obtain halftone negative and halftone positive immages always having high quality, it is required to control the developing solution to keep constant its degree of activity which may have decreased with lapse of time, thereby inevitably being accompanied with troublesome operations.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 106244/1981 discloses that the high contrast images can be obtained by using a hydrazine compound and incorporating into a developing solution an amino compound in an amount by which the development may be promoted.
