Abstract

A photographic material, whose silver halide consists to the extent of at least 75 mol % of silver chloride and has been prepared in the presence of a 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole compound, is suitable as a black-and-white half-tone daylight film.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein fotografisches, bei Tages­licht verarbeitbares Aufzeichnungsmaterial (Tageslicht­film), das zur Wiedergabe von Halbtönen geeignet ist. Unter einem Tageslichtfilm wird ein Film verstanden, der bei Tageslicht oder tageslichtähnlichen Bedingungen ge­handhabt, insbesondere bildmäßig belichtet und ent­wickelt werden kann. Ein solcher Film wiest also eine vergleichsweise sehr geringe Empfindlichkeit auf.The invention relates to a photographic recording material (daylight film) which can be processed in daylight and is suitable for reproducing halftones. A daylight film is understood to be a film that can be handled in daylight or conditions similar to daylight, in particular exposed and developed in terms of images. Such a film therefore has a comparatively very low sensitivity.

Es ist bekannt, daß beim Übergang von hochempfindlichen Silberhalogenidemulsionen zu niedriger empfindlichen die bei der Entwicklung erzeugte Gradationskurve immer steiler wird, bis eine gewisse Grenzgradation erreicht wird, die dann ohne zusätzliche Maßnahmen nicht mehr überschritten wird. Diese Gradation ist aber so steil, daß praktisch nur noch Schwarzweiß-Wiedergaben möglich sind, also keine Grautöne mehr wiedergegeben werden.It is known that in the transition from highly sensitive silver halide emulsions to lower sensitive ones, the gradation curve generated during development becomes ever steeper until a certain limit gradation is reached, which is then no longer exceeded without additional measures. This gradation is so steep, however, that practically only black-and-white reproductions are possible, meaning that gray tones are no longer reproduced.

Filme dieser Art werden schon lange vor allem in der grafischen Industrie verwendet. In den letzten Jahren ist es nun gelungen, die Filme so unempfindlich zu ma­chen, daß sie auch bei gewöhnlichem Tageslicht oder bei Leuchtstoffröhrenbeleuchtung ohne Dunkelkammer gehand­habt werden können. Allerdings haben, wie schon erwähnt, alle auf dem Markt befindlichen Materialien dieser Art eine so steile Gradation, daß Grautöne nicht wiedergege­ben werden können. Es besteht aber der Bedarf an einem bei tageslichtähnlichen Bedingungen verarbeitbaren Auf­zeichnungsmaterial, dessen Gradation so flach ist, daß Grautöne wiedergegeben werden können. Vor allem zur Her­stellung von verlaufenden Masken wäre dies ein außeror­dentlicher Vorteil.Films of this type have long been used primarily in the graphics industry. In recent years, the films have now been made so insensitive that they can be handled even in normal daylight or under fluorescent lighting without a dark room. However, as already mentioned, all materials of this type on the market have such a steep gradation that gray tones cannot be reproduced. However, there is a need for a recording material which can be processed under conditions similar to daylight and whose gradation is so flat that gray tones can be reproduced. This would be an extraordinary advantage, especially for the production of trending masks.

Wenn der mit Tageslichtsystemen arbeitende Reprofotograf heute eine solche verlaufende Maske herstellen will, dann muß er, weil hierfür nur empfindlichere Filme zur Verfügung stehen, die nicht tageslichtsicher sind, die Maske in einer Dunkelkammer auf einem der handelsübli­chen klassischen Halbtonfilme belichten und in einer dort befindlichen weiteren Entwicklungsmaschine ent­wickeln, also sein gesamtes Arbeitsfeld verlassen. Dies bedeutet einen erheblichen zusätzlichen Aufwand an Zeit und Kosten (Material und Investitionen). Ein Verfahren, das sowohl Dunkelkammer als auch eine gesonderte Ent­wicklungsmaschine vermeidet, hätte große Vorteile.If the re-photographer working with daylight systems wants to produce such a mask today, then, because only sensitive films that are not daylight-proof are available, he has to expose the mask in a dark room on one of the commercially available classic halftone films and in another one located there Develop a development machine, i.e. leave your entire field of work. This means a considerable additional expenditure of time and costs (material and investments). A process that avoids both darkroom and a separate processor would have great advantages.

Es ist bekannt und Stand der Technik, das Kornwachstum bei der Herstellung von Silberhalogenidemulsionen da­ durch zu hemmen, daß man die Fällung des Silberhaloge­nids in Gegenwart von Verbindungen durchführt, die stark am Silberhalogenid adsorbiert werden. In der Literatur sind hierzu verschiedene Stabilisatoren beschrieben, insbesondere Aminosäuren oder andere Stickstoff und/oder Schwefel enthaltende organische Verbindungen. Eine der für solche Zwecke häufig eingesetzten Verbindungen ist Phenylmercaptotetrazol, vergl. GB 1 204 623. Normaler­weise werden solche Versuche nur mit Silberhalogenid­emulsionen durchgeführt, die hauptsächlich aus Silber­bromid mit gegebenenfalls geringen Anteilen Silberchlo­rid und/oder Silberiodid bestehen, denn der große Vor­teil des Silberchlorids, die schnelle Entwickelbarkeit, kommt bei derart feinkörnigen Emulsionen nicht mehr we­sentlich zum Tragen.It is known and prior art that grain growth in the production of silver halide emulsions is there by inhibiting that the precipitation of the silver halide is carried out in the presence of compounds which are strongly adsorbed on the silver halide. Various stabilizers are described in the literature for this purpose, in particular amino acids or other organic compounds containing nitrogen and / or sulfur. One of the compounds frequently used for such purposes is phenylmercaptotetrazole, see GB 1 204 623. Normally, such tests are only carried out with silver halide emulsions, which consist mainly of silver bromide with possibly small proportions of silver chloride and / or silver iodide, because the great advantage of silver chloride is that rapid developability, is no longer significant with such fine-grain emulsions.

Versucht man nun bei silberchloridreichen Emulsionen das Kornwachstum mit einem Stabilisator vom Typ des Phenyl­mercaptotetrazols zu hemmen, so stellt man überraschend fest, daß die Gradation der erhaltenen Emulsionen sehr viel flacher ist als erwartet, je nach Menge des verwen­deten Wachstumshemmers einstellbar. Dies geschieht, ohne daß die Korngrößenverteilung der Emulsion sich auffällig verbreitert. Das ist ein völlig überraschender und uner­warteter Effekt. Üblicherweise wird eine flache Grada­tion durch eine sehr breite Korngrößenverteilung des Silberhalogenids erzeugt, was einer breiten Empfindlich­keitsverteilung der Körner entspricht.If you now try to inhibit grain growth in silver chloride-rich emulsions with a stabilizer of the phenyl mercaptotetrazole type, it is surprisingly found that the gradation of the emulsions obtained is much flatter than expected, depending on the amount of growth inhibitor used. This happens without the grain size distribution of the emulsion widening conspicuously. This is a completely surprising and unexpected effect. A flat gradation is usually produced by a very wide grain size distribution of the silver halide, which corresponds to a wide sensitivity distribution of the grains.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein fotografisches, bei Ta­geslicht verarbeitbares Aufzeichnungsmaterial, insbeson­ dere ein Tageslichtfilm mit mindestens einer auf einen Schichtträger aufgetragenen Silberhalogenidemulsions­schicht, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das Silberhalogenid zu mindestens 75 mol-%, vorzugsweise zu mindestens 95 mol-%, aus Silberchlorid besteht und in Gegenwart eines 1-Phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazols hergestellt worden ist.The invention relates to a photographic recording material that can be processed in daylight, in particular a daylight film with at least one silver halide emulsion layer applied to a support, characterized in that the silver halide consists of at least 75 mol%, preferably at least 95 mol%, of silver chloride and has been prepared in the presence of a 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole .

Die verwendete 1-Phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazol-Verbindung kann 1-Phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazol selbst sein, sie kann aber auch am Phenylring substituiert sein, z. B. mit Amino, Acylamino oder mit löslichmachenden funktionellen Gruppen wie Hydroxyl oder Carboxyl. Die 1-Phenyl-5-mer­captotetrazol-Verbindung kann aber auch in einer Form vorliegen, bei der die Mercaptogruppe blockiert ist und gegebenenfalls erst unter den Fällungsbedingungen frei­gesetzt wird; 1-Phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazol-Verbindungen mit blockierter Mercaptogruppe sind beispielsweise in DE-A-21 61 044 und DE-A-21 61 045 beschrieben.The 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole compound used can be 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole itself, but it can also be substituted on the phenyl ring, e.g. B. with amino, acylamino or with solubilizing functional groups such as hydroxyl or carboxyl. However, the 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole compound can also be in a form in which the mercapto group is blocked and, if appropriate, is only released under the precipitation conditions; 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole compounds with a blocked mercapto group are described, for example, in DE-A-21 61 044 and DE-A-21 61 045.

Die 1-Phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazol-Verbindung wird vorzugs­weise in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 50 mmol verwendet, be­zogen auf 1 mol des bei der Fällung des Silberhalogenids insgesamt einzusetzenden Silbernitrats.The 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole compound is preferably used in an amount of 0.5 to 50 mmol, based on 1 mol of the total of silver nitrate to be used in the precipitation of the silver halide.

Die 1-Phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazol-Verbindung wird im all­gemeinen bei der Fällung in gelöster Form zusammen mit einem Emulsionsbindemittel, insbesondere Gelatine, vor­gelegt, und die Fällungsreaktionspartner - Silbernitrat­lösung einerseits und Halogenidlösung andererseits - werden im allgemeinen nach dem üblichen Doppeleinlauf-­Verfahren (double jet) zugefügt. Die Zusammensetzung der Halogenidlösung entspricht im wesentlichen dem Haloge­nidverhältnis der gewünschten Emulsion. Demnach besteht das Halogenid der Halogenidlösung hauptsächlich, d. h. zu mehr als 75 mol-%, bevorzugt zu mehr als 95 mol-%, aus Chlorid; der Rest besteht aus Bromid und/oder Iodid, wobei der Iodidanteil im allgemeinen nicht größer als 10 mol-% ist. Das Iodid kann aber auch ganz oder teil­weise nach Abschluß der eigentlichen Fällung zugefügt werden. Bromid und Iodid können aber auch vollständig fehlen, wenn eine reine Silberchloridemulsion herge­stellt werden soll.The 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole compound is generally introduced in solution form during the precipitation together with an emulsion binder, in particular gelatin, and the precipitation reaction partners - silver nitrate solution on the one hand and halide solution on the other hand - are generally added by the usual double jet process. The composition of the halide solution corresponds essentially to the halide ratio of the desired emulsion. Accordingly, the halide of the halide solution consists mainly, ie more than 75 mol%, preferably more than 95 mol%, of chloride; the rest consists of bromide and / or iodide, the iodide content generally not exceeding 10 mol%. However, the iodide can also be added in whole or in part after the end of the actual precipitation. However, bromide and iodide can also be completely absent if a pure silver chloride emulsion is to be produced.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Silberchloridemulsionen haben normalerweise eine durchschnittliche Korngröße von weniger als 0,1 µm. Es kann sich dabei um homodisperse oder heterodisperse Emulsionen handeln, beispielsweise um eine Emulsion, in der 90 % aller Körner eine Korn­größe haben, die um 0,04 µm oder weniger von der durch­schnittlichen Korngröße nach oben oder unten abweicht.The silver chloride emulsions according to the invention normally have an average grain size of less than 0.1 μm. These can be homodisperse or heterodisperse emulsions, for example an emulsion in which 90% of all grains have a grain size that deviates up or down from the average grain size by 0.04 μm or less.

Die Aufarbeitung der Emulsionen kann in der üblichen Weise erfolgen, z. B. durch Flocken, Auswaschen und Re­dispergieren. Die Emulsionen werden nicht chemisch ge­reift, sie können aber noch mit den üblichen Zusätzen versehen werden. Das sind insbesondere weitere Stabili­satoren, wie Quecksilbersalze, Triazaindolizine, Netz­mittel und Härtungsmittel. Man kann sogar, ohne daß sich die Tageslichtsicherheit wesentlich ändert, spektrale Sensibilisatoren zusetzen. Vorteilhaft ist auch der Zu­satz von Elektronenfängern wie Pinakryptolgelb und ähn­lichen als Desensibilisatoren, um die Tageslichtempfind­lichkeit noch weiter zu drücken.The emulsions can be worked up in the customary manner, for. B. by flaking, washing and redispersing. The emulsions are not chemically ripened, but they can still be mixed with the usual additives. These are, in particular, other stabilizers, such as mercury salts, triazaindolizines, wetting agents and hardening agents. One can even spectral without significantly changing the daylight security Add sensitizers. It is also advantageous to add electron scavengers such as pinacryptol yellow and the like as desensitizers in order to further reduce the sensitivity to daylight.

Auch die Zugabe von Edelmetallverbindungen wie bei­spielsweise Hexahalogenokomplexe des Rhodiums, Iridiums oder Osmiums ist möglich und gegebenenfalls sinnvoll.The addition of noble metal compounds such as, for example, hexahalogeno complexes of rhodium, iridium or osmium is possible and may be useful.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform enthält die erfin­dungsgemäße Silberhalogenidemulsion beispielsweise pro mol Silber 10 - 200 mg Pinakryptolgelb und/oder 1 - 100 mg Natriumhexachlororhodiat-III.In a preferred embodiment, the silver halide emulsion according to the invention contains, for example, 10-200 mg pinacryptol yellow and / or 1-100 mg sodium hexachlororhodiate-III per mol silver.

Die erfindungsgemäße Emulsion kann als einzelne Schicht vergossen werden oder aber auch auf zwei oder mehrere Schichten verteilt werden, die direkt aufeinander ge­gossen werden oder durch Trennschichten getrennt sein können. Um besondere Formen der Schwärzungskurven zu erzielen, kann man auch einen mehrschichtigen Film her­stellen, bei dem eine oder mehrere Schichten aus einer kontrastreichen Emulsion sowie ein oder mehrere Schich­ten aus der beschriebenen Halbtontageslichtemulsion be­stehen. Es ist sogar zur Erzielung besonderer Effekte denkbar, die erfindungsgemäße Halbtontageslichtemulsio­nen mit klassischen Emulsionen zu kombinieren. Über der Schicht mit der erfindungsgemäßen Emulsion befindet sich üblicherweise eine Schutzschicht, zwischen ihr und der Substratschicht des Schichtträgers kann sich eine wei­tere nichtsilberhaltige Schicht befinden. Auch eine Kom­ bination von einer normalen steil arbeitenden Silber­halogenidemulsionsschicht mit einer Schicht der erfin­dungsgemäßen Emulsion, gegebenenfalls mit gleicher oder verschiedener Spektralsensibilisierung, ist möglich. Alle Schichten können sogenannte Schirmfarbstoffe ent­halten, die fotografisch nicht aktiv sind, sondern nur Licht absorbieren und somit zur Schärfe beitragen.The emulsion according to the invention can be cast as a single layer or can also be distributed over two or more layers which are poured directly onto one another or can be separated by separating layers. In order to achieve special forms of the blackening curves, it is also possible to produce a multilayer film in which one or more layers consist of a high-contrast emulsion and one or more layers consist of the halftone daylight emulsion described. In order to achieve special effects, it is even conceivable to combine the halftone daylight emulsions according to the invention with classic emulsions. There is usually a protective layer over the layer with the emulsion according to the invention, and another non-silver-containing layer can be located between it and the substrate layer of the support. Also a comm Combination of a normal, steeply working silver halide emulsion layer with a layer of the emulsion according to the invention, optionally with the same or different spectral sensitization, is possible. All layers can contain so-called screen dyes, which are not photographically active, but only absorb light and thus contribute to sharpness.

Die Emulsionen können auf transparente Unterlagen ge­gossen werden, z.B. auf einen transparenten Film oder auf Glasplatten, es ist auch die Verwendung von opaken Unterlagen möglich, z.B. von Schichtträgern aus Papier, das gegebenenfalls ein- oder beidseitig durch Beschich­tung hydrophobiert sein kann.The emulsions can be poured onto transparent substrates, e.g. on a transparent film or on glass plates, it is also possible to use opaque underlays, e.g. of layer supports made of paper, which can optionally be hydrophobized on one or both sides by coating.

Zur Vereinfachung der Entwicklung können Entwicklersub­stanzen in der Emulsionsschicht enthalten sein. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Entwicklersubstanzen in separate Schichten über, unter oder zwischen der/den Emulsions­schicht/en einzulagern.To simplify development, developer substances can be contained in the emulsion layer. However, it is also possible to store the developer substances in separate layers above, below or between the emulsion layer (s).

Der erfindungsgemäße Tageslichtfilm eignet sich hervor­ragend zur Herstellung von schwarzweißen Halbtonwieder­gaben, insbesondere zur Herstellung von verlaufenden Masken, die in der Reprofotografie gelegentlich kombi­niert mit Farbauszugswiedergaben verwendet werden. Auf­grund seiner Eigenschaft, bei Tageslicht oder tages­lichtähnlichen Bedingungen, z. B. bei Leuchtstoffröhren­licht, verarbeitet werden zu können, stellt or eine wertvolle Bereicherung für die Reprofotografie dar, weil sich eine zusätzliche Dunkelkammereinrichtung erübrigt.The daylight film according to the invention is outstandingly suitable for the production of black and white halftone reproductions, in particular for the production of running masks which are sometimes used in combination photography with color separation reproductions. Due to its property, in daylight or conditions similar to daylight, e.g. B. can be processed with fluorescent lighting, or represents a valuable asset for repro photography, because an additional darkroom facility is unnecessary.
