Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a color developer for silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials. More specifically, the present invention relates to a color developer for silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials, which forms no deposits in a color developing replenisher even when a color developing agent is dissolved therein at a high concentration, has a capability of performing rapid and stable processing at a replenishing amount smaller than that of a conventional color developer, and improves the maintenance efficiency of an automatic processor to a large extent.
  • the processing of a light-sensitive material basically comprises two processes of color development and desilverization, and desilverization comprises a bleaching process and a fixing process, or a bleach-fixing process. Besides them, a rinsing treatment and a stabilizing treatment are performed as supplementary processes.
  • halogen ions generated by reduction of silver halides are dissolved and accumulated in a developer.
  • components contained in a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, such as a developing inhibitor are also dissolved and accumulated in the developer.
  • the silver generated by developing is bleached by an oxidizing agent and, then, all silver salts are removed from the light-sensitive material as soluble silver salts by use of a fixing agent.
  • the monobath bleach-fixing method is also practiced, in which bleaching and fixing are carried out concurrently.
  • a development inhibiting material is accumulated as described above, while processing of photographic light-sensitive materials is carried on; on the other hand, a color developing agent and benzyl alcohol are consumed, or accumulated in light-sensitive materials and brought out of the color developer, and thereby concentrations of these components are lowered there. Accordingly, when a large amount of light-sensitive materials are continuously processed in an automatic processor, an appropriate measure must be taken to keep the concentration of the components of a color developer within a prescribed range, in order to avoid a fluctuation in finishing behavior of development due to change in component concentration.
  • the regeneration of a developer is achieved by removing bromides, accumulated unnecessary components, and making up for deficient components.
  • the regeneration using ion exchange resins or electrodialysis has a problem that the developability of a light-sensitive material is impaired unless the amount of each developer component is kept constant by means of quantitative chemical analysis; therefore, it needs complicated procedures, making it difficult to introduce the method in small-sized processing laboratories and mini-laboratories lacking in technical skills.
  • the method requires a large sum of initial investment.
  • the usual color developing agent employed in development of a color photographic light-sensitive material is not necessarily sufficient in solubility in a pH range necessary to form dyes; accordingly, the developing agent is deposited when added in excess of a specific concentration.
  • Japanese Pat. O.P.I. Pub. Nos.42154/1987 (DE-A-3 627 122) and 42155/1987 propose addition of a specific water-soluble surfactant to a color developer as a preventive measure against deposition on a rack and rollers in a color developing tank of an automatic processor. But this is not a very effective method.
  • British Pat. No.669,505 discloses a method for dissolving a p-phenylenediamine type color developing agent in an alkaline water at a high concentration, with the aid of a benzenesulfonic acid derivative. But the concentration of the color developing agent obtained by this method is not high enough to achieve a small-volume and high-concentration replenishment and a rapid processing which are intended by the present invention; in addition, this method cannot effectively prevent a color developing agent from being deposited in an automatic processor.
  • the present inventors have made a study in particulars and found that the combination according to the present invention can protect a color developer from deterioration even when stored for a long time in an automatic processor run with a very small processing amount, prevent developer components from depositing or caking on automatic processor's members, and markedly simplify maintenance of an automatic processor. This is, indeed, an unexpected outcome for the present inventors.
  • the object of the present invention is firstly to provide a color developer for silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials which can stably maintain photographic properties even when used in rapid processing or processing with low replenishment over a long period of time, and secondly to provide a color developer for silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials which eases maintenance of an automatic processor and is free from caking of deposits and damages of automatic processor's members caused thereby.
  • the color developer for silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials according to the invention contains at least one of compounds represented by formula [1], a color developing agent in an amount not less than 0.02 mol/l, and a compound represented by Formula 2 or Formula 3 in an amount not less than 2.5 mol per mol of color developing agent:

  • At least one of G to N is a sulfonic acid group or -O-SO 3 -R group, and each of G to N represents a hydrogen or halogen atom or a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group, wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, a sodium atom, a potassium atom, an ammonium group or an lithium atom.
  • the amount of the compound represented by formula 1 contained in the color developer is preferably 2.0 to 100 g/l, especially 5.0 to 50 g/l.
  • the color developer for silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials according to the invention contains at least one of compounds represented by formula 1, a color developing agent in an amount not less than 0.02 mol/l, and a compound represented by Formula 2 or Formula 3 in an amount not less than 2.5 mol per mol of color developing agent and, thereby it can prevent a developing agent in color developer from depositing, maintain stable photographic properties over a long period even when used in rapid processing or small-volume replenishment processing, and markedly simplifies maintenance of an automatic processor because of its capability of preventing deposition or caking of solid matters on members of an automatic processor.
  • the compounds represented by formula 1 are added in the color developer within the range of preferably 2.0 to 100 g/l, especially 5.0 to 50 g/l.

  • a p-phenylenediamine-based compound having a hydrophilic group be used as a color developing agent, for its capabilities of producing the effect of the invention and preventing fogs.
  • the p-phenylenediamine-based compound having a hydrophilic group is advantageous over a p-phenylenediamine compound having no hydrophilic group, such as N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine, in that it forms no stain on a light-sensitive material, sparingly produces eruptions on the skin and has a capability of achieving the objects of the invention effectively when incorporated in the color developer used in the invention.
