  • Example 1 discloses the preparation of an aqueous gelatinous silver chloride emulsion with an AgCl particle size of 0.40 ⁇ m, its subsequent ripening at a pH of 5.3 with 11 ⁇ mol gold(III)chloride/mole Ag and 4 ⁇ mole Na 2 S 2 O 3 /mole Ag for 3 hours at a temperature of 60°C and the spectral sensitization of the thus ripened emulsion at 50°C followed by a mixture of a compound according to formula (1) with either a compound according to formula (II) or
  • a Motion Picture Print film the film that is shown in movie theatres, contains besides the motion picture image optical sound tracks along at least one edge of the film.
  • the motion picture and sound tracks are first typically captured or recorded on separate photosensitive films as negative images, and the resulting negatives are then printed in synchronization on the motion picture film to form positive images. This printing is performed in so-called print laboratories.
  • Photographic Motion Picture Print Films typically use high chloride emulsions to enable rapid processing.
  • Such high sensitive emulsions emulsions rich in silver chloride can however show a large change in sensitivity in the time interval between exposure and development.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a method of processing a colour print photographic material by a rapid colour development system.

  • a method of preparing such an emulsion preferably comprises the steps of precipitating cubic crystals rich in silver chloride (up to 100 mole% of AgCl) by double jet in an aqueous medium containing a protective colloid, flocculating, washing and redispersing said emulsion by addition of a binder material; adjusting pH and pAg up to suitable values and adding, prior to chemical sensitization, a compound releasing iodide ions, followed, after digestion, by consecutively adding, as chemical sensitizing agents, a gold compound, an oxidizing compound and a compound releasing sulphur; chemically sensitizing said cubic emulsion crystals; characterised by the step of adding, just before, during or at the end of the cooling step following said chemically sensitizing step, before a compound according to the wherein R represents a substituted aryl and wherein M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom or an ammonium group.
  • a silver halide material prepared according to the method of the present invention has also been claimed and, more particularly, a colour print material, wherein the emulsion prepared according to the method of the present invention is coated in at least one of the emulsion layers sensitive to a different wavelength range.
  • the method of the present invention thus applied as set forth hereinbefore suppresses the increase in the fog density, further saving the photographic sensitivity in an environment wherein changes of heat and humidity appear during storage or preservation of the material and, more particularly, between the time of exposure and the processing of said material.
  • the effect of the invention resides in a quick processability (rapid processing application) by this invention, providing a low fog and high speed.
  • the compound added at the end of chemical sensitization step is the compound according to the general formula (I) hereinafter wherein R represents a substituted aryl and wherein M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom or an ammonium group.

  • said protective colloid is selected from the group consisting of gelatin (whether or not chemically modified), silica sol, (cationic) (oxidised or non-oxidised) starch or mixtures thereof, being representative, but not limitative for organic and inorganic binders respectively, it depends on the choice thereof what temperature for the reaction vessel is chosen in order to prepare a homogeneous aqueous medium wherein the precipitation reaction can start. In general in the preparation step of the reaction vessel a temperature of about 40°C up to 50°C is chosen when gelatin, whether or not modified as e.g.
  • phthaloyl or (phenyl)carbamoyl gelatin whether or not oxidised in order to reduce the amount of methionin therein, and whether or not demineralised in order to have a lower calcium ion content, is taken as (most preferred) protective colloid.
  • a preferred precipitation technique in order to get cubic crystals rich in silver chloride is the double-jet method, wherein the silver ion concentration is controlled during the precipitation and wherein the flow rate of the reacting solutions is enhanced as the precipitation proceeds.
  • the flow rate is controlled at such a rate that no renucleation appears.
  • This method offers the possiblity to get well-defined crystals having a regular cubic habit within a short precipitation time, which is also dependent on the reaction temperature in the reaction vessel, which is normally increased before starting precipitation from about 40°C-45°C up to 55-65°C.
  • the precipitation step is performed in order to get cubic emulsion crystals rich in silver chloride having an average edge length of from 0.1 ⁇ m up to 1.0 ⁇ m (more preferably from 0.2 up to 0.8 ⁇ m).

  • silver bromide content may be divided homogeneously over the whole cubic crystal volume, a so-called localization phase with high silver-bromide content may be present as an internal shell in the cubic crystal. It should however be avoided to get too high a silver bromide content as pressure, applied to such a sensitive material, may cause desensitization.
  • the silver bromide content of a localization phase with high silver bromide content preferably is in the range between 20-50 mole % range.
  • Such a silver bromide content of a localised phase with high silver bromide content can be analyzed using an X-ray diffraction method.
  • the preferred gelatin may further be replaced in part or integrally by synthetic, semi-synthetic, or natural polymers.
  • Synthetic substitutes for gelatin are e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, poly-N-vinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl imidazole, polyvinyl pyrazole, polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid, and derivatives thereof, in particular copolymers thereof.
  • Natural substitutes for gelatin are e.g. other proteins such as zein, albumin and casein, cellulose, saccharides, starch, and alginates.
  • the semi-synthetic substitutes for gelatin are modified natural products e.g.
  • gelatin derivatives obtained by conversion of gelatin with alkylating or acylating agents, by grafting of polymerizable monomers on gelatin or prehardened gelatins with blocked functional groups as a consequence of this prehardening treatment, and cellulose derivatives such as hydroxyalkyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, phthaloyl cellulose, and cellulose sulphates.
  • the binder should of course dispose of an acceptably high number of functional groups, which by reaction with an appropriate hardening agent can provide a sufficiently resistant layer after emulsion coating.
  • Such functional groups are especially the amino groups, but also carboxylic groups, hydroxy groups, and active methylene groups.
  • Another substitute for gelatin may be silica as has been described in the published EP-A's 0 392 092, 0 517 961, 0 528 476, 0 649 051 and 0 704 749. More particularly when colloidal silica sol is chosen as a protective colloid the reaction vessel can be prepared at lower temperatures as has been set forth in e.g. EP-A 0 682 287 and in the corresponding US-A 5,543,284. In these patents the particular conditions have been described in which cubic silver chloride emulsions having grains of a well-defined grain size are prepared.
  • the said binder material is a hydrophilic colloidal polymeric binder selected from the group consisting of gelatin, poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone, dextranes, polyacrylamide, cellulose compounds and derivatives thereof and copolymers of vinylidene chloride-methylacrylate-itaconic acid or methyl(meth)acrylate-butadiene-itaconic acid or a mixture (or mixtures) thereof.
  • gelatin is further used, besides being used as protective colloid in the precipitation of cubic grains rich in silver chloride, the said gelatin may be used as peptiser or binder material after flocculation and washing.
  • flocculating agents as e.g. polystyrene sulphonic acid, etc.
  • flocculating agents may be added before or after acidifying the emulsion, preferably at the precipitation temperature, followed by cooling up to e.g. room temperature and starting washing of the flocculate by means of a scrape rudder.
  • this process can be performed discontinuously, in batch.
  • Other possibilities are offered by filtration techniques, e.g. by dialysis, ultrafiltration etc. so that the emulsion may be washed to a desired pAg value without the requirement to be redispersed afterwards.
  • Emulsion flocculates are preferably washed out by the addition of well-determined amounts of demineralised water, whether or not doped with small amounts of water-soluble salts like e.g. sodium or potassium chloride.
  • gelatin for use as a protective colloid and/or binder material
  • the ratio by weigth of gelatin to silver is called "gesi" and is a characteristic feature of the emulsion. So after precipitation a gesi value of e.g. 0.15 - 0.25 may be reached, whereas after peptization, by addition of gelatin peptiser at an increased temperature up to about 38-48°C , the gesi value may have been increased up to a value of from 0.40 up to 0.60.
  • gelatin may be used as a binder material in the coated layers of the material (wherein a gesi value up to a value in the range from 0.8 to 1.2 may be calculated).
  • the said gelatin providing colloidal stability of the cubic emulsion grains, peptizing ability or coating ability may be lime-treated or acid-treated.
  • the preparation of such gelatin types has been described in e.g. "The Science and Technology of Gelatin", edited by A.G. Ward and A. Courts, Academic Press 1977, page 295 and next pages.
  • the gelatin may also be an enzyme-treated gelatin as described in Bull. Soc. Sci. Phot. Japan, N° 16, page 30 (1966).

  • Those compound(s) is (are), according to the method of the present invention added in an amount in order to have an average amount of iodide in the cubic crystals rich in silver chloride of not more than 3 mole %, based on silver.
  • an average amount of iodide present in the cubic crystals rich in silver chloride does not exceed 1 mole % and is even more preferably in the range between 0.05 and 0.5 mole %.
  • the step is performed of adding as chemical sensitizing agents consecutively, a gold compound, an oxidizing compound and a compound releasing sulphur, followed by chemically sensitizing by digestion (during a time dependent on the reaction temperature, which may vary from less than 1 hour at 70°C up to about 4 hours at 50°C) at a controlled temperature of said cubic emulsion crystals.
  • a gold compound like gold chloride acid or gold thiocyanide complex

  • the electrically-conductive layer or layers not having permanent antistatic properties further comprise cross-linking agents coating aids, surfactants, dispersing aids, coalescing aids, biocides, matte particles or lubricants. Thanks more particularly to the presence of a lubricant in the subbing layer at the side of the backing layer opposite to the light-sensitive side of the polyester support and to the removal during processing of the topcoat layer only, on the said backing layer side, the friction coefficient of the backing layer versus stainless steel remains about unchanged in the range between 0.20 and 0.30, which is an indispensble asset in order to avoid problems during manufacturing, i.a. during processing of the exposed film material as well as during projection of the processed material) of the film, more particularly with respect to scratchability.

  • in the antihalation undercoat at the light-sensitive side of the polyester support and, optionally, in an amount of from 0.2 to 1.0 g/m 2 in the blue-sensitive emulsion layer of a colour print material, provides an optimised laser subtitling quality, whereas presence of permanent antistatic agent(s) in the subbing layer avoids charging of the layers and dust attraction, both measures avoiding optically disturbing effects.

  • the multi-layered colour print material is preferably used in combination with a negative working black-and-white silver halide motion picture sound recording film in order to provide the colour print film with a soundtrack of high quality.
  • Said sound recording film preferably comprises a support bearing at least one silver halide emulsion layer, wherein said film is spectrally sensitised both above and below 600 nm as disclosed in US-A 5,955,255, thus being panchromatically sensitised as previously described in GB 449,546 and the corresponding FR 784,027.
  • Such film may be used for recording multiple optical soundtracks by exposing said film with a first source of radiation having a peak wavelength of less than or equal to 600 nm, recording a second digital soundtrack by exposing said film with a second source of radiation having a peak wavelength of greater than 600 nm, and processing said exposed film to form first and second digital soundtrack silver images.

  • a grain size less than 0.35 ⁇ m for a monodispersed silver halide emulsion which provides a high contrast overall gradient being greater than 3.7, more preferably greater than 3.8 and even more preferably greater than 3.9, desirable for recording the soundtrack with sharp edges.
  • a rapid access developer known e.g. from graphic arts. Short processing times may provide an opportunity to make use in the sound laboratory of compact processors.
  • White light sources such as tungsten lamps have conventionally been used to record analog soundtracks. Accordingly, the native sensitivity of many silver halide emulsions in the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. 380-500 nm) has been sufficient for such white light recording. Where additional speed is desired for white light recording or where emulsions are used which lack sufficient native sensitivity in the visible light region, sound recording films have been sensitised for analog recording with blue and/or green sensitizing dyes. Otherwise digital soundtrack recording is typically performed by exposing a sound recording film to a modulated coherent radiation light source having a narrow band width, such as a modulated laser beam or light emitting diode or diode array. So sound recording films have been made which are optimally spectrally sensitised to provide a peak sensitivity to match a particular digital recording device, along with providing adequate sensitivity for recording anolog soundtracks with white light sources.
