Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sensitivity-increasing recording process for photographic materials in which information-wise exposure is carried out during heating.
- Thermal imaging or thermography is a recording process wherein images are generated by the use of imagewise modulated thermal energy.
- thermography three approaches are known:
- Thermographic materials of type 3 become photothermographic if a photosensitive agent is present which after exposure to UV, visible or IR light is capable of catalyzing or participating in a thermographic process bringing about changes in colour or optical density.
- photothermographic materials are the so called “Dry Silver”photothermographic materials of the 3M Company, which are reviewed by D.A. Morgan in “Handbook of Imaging Science”, edited by A.R. Diamond, page 43, published by Marcel Dekker in 1991.
- DOS 2 248 545 discloses a copying process characterized in that the whole surface of a thermally developable photosensitive silver material is subjected before the complete execution of the exposure to a uniform auxiliary thermal treatment at a temperature, that is within the suitable development temperature range for the photosensitive material, and to thermal development after exposure; and that, in a subclaim, the photosensitive material can also be subjected to auxiliary heating during the exposure thereof.
- the specification and invention examples give no indication of the efficacity of auxiliary heating during exposure.
- JP-A-61 196243 discloses a scan type exposure and development installation having as distinctive feature that it has a rotation drum which has a thermal development photosensitive material wound around it and uses the axis center as rotation axis, an exposure head which is positioned opposite the circumference face of the rotation drum and moves in the axis direction of the rotation drum in response to the rotation of the rotation drum, and a heating head which is positioned opposite the circumference face of the rotation drum and moves in the axis direction of the rotation drum in response to the rotation of the rotation drum.
- the thermal heating head can be a laser heating head and heating development may be carried out while scanning the thermal development photosensitive material and as a result development and exposure may be carried out with the same installation at almost the same time thereby shortening the total treatment time of exposure and development.
- a recording process comprising the steps of: information-wise exposing to radiation a photosensitive thermally developable photographic material, thereby producing a latent image; and heating the photosensitive thermally developable photographic material, characterized in that the photosensitive thermally developable photographic material is on one and the same holding or guiding means during both the information-wise exposure step and the heating step; the information-wise exposure step is carried out pixelwise during the heating step; the exposure step begins after the start of the heating step; and the duration of the exposure step is less than one tenth of the duration of the heating step.
- a method of increasing the photosensitivity of a photosensitive thermally developable photographic material characterized in that the photosensitive thermally developable photographic material is on one and the same holding or guiding means during both the information-wise exposure step and the heating step; the information-wise exposure step is carried out pixelwise during said heating step; the exposure step begins after the start of the heating step; and the duration of said exposure step is less than one tenth of the duration of the heating step.
- the inventors of the present invention surprisingly have found that the preheating of materials resulted in thermally developable photographic materials requiring shorter exposure times than with prior art processes in which unheated materials are exposed to recording radiation. This showed that materials upon heating are more sensitive to recording radiation and enables the apparatus to be simplified.
- the duration of the exposure step be less than one hundredth of the duration of the heating step.
- thermal development of the photosensitive thermally developable photographic material is carried out during the heating step, during which a visible image is produced from the latent image resulting from the exposure step.
- the heating step begins before the start of the exposure step and ends after thermal development to produce a visible image is complete.
- Photographic materials and photosensitive thermally developable photographic materials may, according to the present invention, be exposed with radiation of wavelength between an X-ray wavelength and a 5 microns wavelength with the image being obtained by pixel-wise exposure with a finely focused light source, such as a CRT light source; a UV, visible or IR wavelength laser, such as a He/Ne-laser or an IR-laser diode, e.g. emitting at 780nm, 830nm or 850nm; or a light emitting diode, for example one emitting at 659nm.

- the PET-support subbed and coated with an antihalation/antistatic layer as described above was then doctor blade-coated at a blade setting of 150 ⁇ m on the side of the support not coated with a backside layer with the coating composition to a wet layer thickness of 80 ⁇ m followed by drying for 5 minutes at 80°C on an aluminium plate in a drying cupboard.
- a protective layer coating composition for the photosensitive thermally developable photographic material was prepared by dissolving 4.08g of CAB and 0.16g of PMMA in 36.3g of 2-butanone and 4.16g of methanol adding the following solids or solution with stirring in the following sequence: 0.5g of phthalazine, 0.2g of 4-methylphthalic acid, 0.1g of tetrachlorophthalic acid, 0.2g of tetrachlorophthalic acid anhydride and a solution consisting of 2.55g of LOWINOXTM 22IB46 and 5.95g 2-butanone.
- the emulsion layer was then doctor blade-coated at a blade setting of 100 ⁇ m with the protective layer coating composition to a wet layer thickness of 57 ⁇ m, which after drying for 8 minutes at 80°C on an aluminium plate in a drying cupboard produced a layer with the following composition: CAB 4.08g/m 2 PMMA 0.16g/m 2 Phthalazine 0.50g/m 2 4-methylphthalic acid 0.20g/m 2 tetrachlorophthalic acid 0.10g/m 2 tetrachlorophthalic acid anhydride 0.20g/m 2 LOWINOXTM 22IB46 2.55g/m 2
- Sheets of the photosensitive thermally developable photographic material were information-wise exposed and thermally developed in an apparatus in which information-wise exposure and thermal development took place on the same heatable drum 198 mm in diameter and the photosensitive thermally developable photographic material was transported at a speed of 20.73 mm/s with its antistatic/antihalation-layer in contact with the drum i.e. with the protective layer for the silver behenate/silver halide emulsion layer outermost.
- the optical densities of the resulting images were measured in transmission with a MacBethTM TR924 densitometer through a visible filter to produce a sensitometric curve for the photosensitive thermally developable photographic materials from which the maximum and minimum optical densities, D max and D min , and the relative photosensitivities for D min + 1.0 determined.
- DRYVIEWTM photosensitive thermally developable photographic material from IMATION was used instead of the photosensitive thermally developable photographic material of COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 1 and INVENTION EXAMPLES 1 to 4.
- the DRYVIEWTM material is based on a conventional silver halide/silver behenate/reducing agent concept and is spectrally sensitized to infra-red radiation. Information-wise exposure and thermal processing were carried out using the apparatus used for COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 1 and INVENTION EXAMPLES 1 to 4 with thermal development carried out at 123.9°C for 17.5 s instead of for 15 s at 121°C.
