Definitions
- the developer solution for developing colour photographic materials is prepared from or, in the case of continuous operation, replenished with concentrates which contain the necessary constituents.
- one concentrate contains the antioxidant, an auxiliary solvent and an optical brightener
- a second concentrate contains the colour developer substance, for example CD 3 (N-ethyl-N-(2-methylsulfonylaminoethyl)-3-methyl-p-phenylenediamine)
- a third concentrate contains the buffer substance, alkali and a water softener.
- the first concentrate is alkaline (approx. pH 10)
- the second is strongly acidic and thus stable with regard to colour developer concentration
- the third is strongly alkaline.
- a small quantity of sulfite is generally added to the concentrate of the colour developer substance for stabilisation purposes.
- the quantity of sulfite must not be too large as it otherwise has a negative impact on sensitometry (inhibition of development and thus reduction of colour densities).
- Two one-part concentrates are currently commercially available, a) Monoline® RA-4 CD-R from Tetenal, a two-phase concentrate with a solid, undissolved phase deposited at the bottom and b) TriPhase® RA-4 CD-R from Trebla, a three-phase concentrate with undissolved constituents in the middle phase (c.f. also US 5 891 609).
- the object of the invention was to provide a two-part concentrate for a colour developer, neither part of which contains any undissolved constituents, from which parts a regenerating solution may rapidly be produced and which parts comprise a single phase.
- part 1 of the two-part concentrate containing the antioxidant, the auxiliary solvent, the optical brightener, the colour developer substance and 0.001 to 1 mol of hydroxylamine or a monoalkylated hydroxylamine or the salts thereof per litre of concentrate.
- hydroxylamine or monoalkylated hydroxylamine or the salts thereof are used, particularly preferably hydroxylammonium sulfate.
- Monoalkylated hydroxylamine is preferably of the formula HO-NH-R in which
- the colour of the stored concentrates is unchanged in comparison with the fresh preparations.
- a colour developer working solution was then prepared from these concentrates. 35 ml of part 1, 17.5 ml of part 2 and 35 ml of part 3 were used per litre. The pH is adjusted to 10.2 with potassium hydrogen carbonate. 2 g of potassium chloride were added per litre. The preparation is light yellow and clear and thus matches the preparation made from the fresh, unstored concentrates.
- Photographic materials were processed in these two preparations.
- the two processed materials in fresh, unstored concentration or in stored concentrate) exhibit no sensitometric differences (Table 1).
- Part 2 is identical to part 3 of Example 1.
- the colour of the stored concentrate, part 1 is distinctly darkened and deep brown in comparison with the fresh preparations.
- a colour developer working solution was then prepared from these concentrates. 28 ml of part 1 and 35 ml of part 2 were used per litre. The pH is adjusted to 10.2 with potassium hydrogen carbonate. 2 g of potassium chloride are added per litre. The preparation is dark and turbid, while the preparation made from the fresh, unstored concentrates is light in colour and clear.
- Example 2 As Example 2, but the part 1 concentrate is adjusted to pH 3.
- the colour of the stored part 1 concentrate is distinctly darkened and deep brown in comparison with the fresh preparations.
- the preparation is dark and turbid, while the preparation made from the fresh, unstored concentrates is light in colour and clear.
- Example 2 but the sulfite is omitted from the part 1 concentrate.
- the colour of the stored concentrate, part 1 is distinctly darkened and deep brown.
- Example 3 As Example 3, but the sodium disulfite is replaced by 5 g of hydroxylammonium sulfate.
- the colour of the stored concentrate, part 1 is unchanged in comparison with the fresh preparation.
- Example 2 but with 150 g of caprolactam instead of the polyethylene glycol and additionally with 5 g of hydroxylammonium sulfate.
- the colour of the stored concentrate, part 1 is unchanged in comparison with the fresh preparation.
- Part 2 is identical to part 3 of Example 1.
- the colour of the stored concentrate, part 1 is identical to that of the fresh preparation.
