Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transmission type color image forming material, and more particularly to a transmission type color image forming material having excellent color reproducibility and a method for producing a copy thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Color reproducibility is an important performance in silver halide color light-sensitive materials. A silver halide color photographic material usually forms a full-color image with three image forming dyes of yellow, magenta and cyan. In the field of so-called conventional color light-sensitive materials, image formation generally uses an image-forming coupler which gives a dye by coupling with an oxidized aromatic primary amine developing agent.

A phenol derivative has been generally used as a cyan coupler for forming a cyan dye. However, this type of coupler has an undesired side absorption in the magenta to yellow regions. As a cyan coupler having a small amount, pyrrolotriazole cyan couplers are disclosed in, for example, JP-A-5-313324 and JP-A-5-313324.
No. 347960.

As another cyan coupler, for example, as disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,686,235, the formed dye is substituted with an acylamino group having a sulfo group at the 5-position which becomes a preferable hue by association. Phenol couplers are known.

As a coupler for forming a magenta dye, a pyrazolone magenta coupler has hitherto been widely used, but a pyrazolotriazole coupler has been used as a coupler having a small side absorption in a yellow region or a cyan region. It is mainly used.

Couplers that provide dyes having a good hue contribute to improvement of color reproducibility in any photographic light-sensitive material. However, when applied to a transmission type photographic light-sensitive material, it is one of the uses. There was a problem in making one copy.

For example, a color reversal film is widely used because a positive image can be obtained from the photographed film itself. However, an image obtained by the color reversal film can be reproduced on a color duplication film, or a color reversal print can be made. Or printing on a color print via an internegative film is often performed. For this reason, it is necessary for the color reversal film to have good performance in making a copy as a performance to be provided. On the other hand, the above-described cyan coupler or magenta coupler having a good hue often causes a problem.

[0008] A similar problem when making a copy from a transmission-type original image is a common problem which is not limited to a color reversal film, and an improvement guideline has been desired.

In this case, a rinsing solution (washing solution) is sometimes referred to in distinction from the stabilizing solution.

The amount of rinsing water in the rinsing step can be set in a wide range depending on the characteristics of the photosensitive material (for example, depending on the material used such as a coupler), the purpose, the rinsing water temperature, the number of rinsing tanks (the number of stages), and various other conditions. Of these, the relationship between the number of washing tanks and water volume in the multi-stage counter-current method is described in Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (Journal of the Soc).
(iety of Motion Pictureand Television Engineers)
Volume 4, p.248-253 (May 1955)
You can ask. Usually, the number of stages in the multistage countercurrent system is preferably 2 to 15, and particularly preferably 2 to 10.

According to the multi-stage countercurrent method, the amount of washing water can be greatly reduced, and bacteria increase due to an increase in the residence time of water in the tank, and the generated suspended matter adheres to the photosensitive material. Occurs. As a solution to such a problem, the method for reducing calcium and magnesium described in JP-A-62-288838 can be used very effectively. Further, isothiazolone compounds and siabendazoles described in JP-A-57-8542,

Year) The Fungicide described in "Encyclopedia of Bacterial and Fungicide" (ed. 1986), edited by the Japan Society of Industrial Technology, Japan Society of Bacteria and Fungi.

Further, the washing water, the stabilizing solution or the rinsing solution may contain a surfactant as a draining agent or E as a hard water softener.
A chelating agent represented by DTA can be used.
Surfactants include polyethylene glycol type nonionic surfactant, polyhydric alcohol type nonionic surfactant, alkylbenzene sulfonate type anionic surfactant, higher alcohol sulfate ester type anionic surfactant, alkyl Naphthalene sulfonate type anionic surfactant, quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant, amine salt type cationic surfactant, amino salt type amphoteric surfactant, betaine type amphoteric surfactant, and 2
More than one species can be used in combination. Further, a fluorine-based surfactant or a siloxane-based surfactant described in US Pat. No. 5,716,765 can also be used.

Among the nonionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants such as alkyl polyethylene oxides, alkyl phenoxy polyethylene oxides and alkyl phenoxy polyhydroxypropylene oxides are preferred, and alkyl-polyalkylenes having 8 to 15 carbon atoms are particularly preferred. Ethylene oxide (5-12) alcohol.

Further, in order to improve the solubility of the surfactant, it is preferable to include a solubilizing agent for amines such as diethanolamine and triethanolamine, and glycols such as diethylene glycol and propylene glycol.

It is preferable to add a chelating agent for collecting heavy metals to the stabilizing solution or the rinsing solution in order to improve the stability of the solution and reduce the generation of stains. As the chelating agent, the same compounds as those added to the developer and the bleaching solution can be used. The stabilizing solution or the rinsing solution of the present invention is preferably added with an antibacterial / antifungal agent for the purpose of preventing the generation of fungal fungi, and commercially available products can be used. Further, a surfactant, a fluorescent whitening agent and a hardening agent may be added.

The pH of the stabilizing solution or rinsing solution of the present invention and the washing water is 4 to 9, preferably 5 to 8.
The processing temperature and the processing time can also be variously set depending on the characteristics of the light-sensitive material, the application, and the like.
Preferably, it is 30 seconds to 4 minutes at 25 to 40 ° C. Furthermore,
When the stabilizing solution or the rinsing solution of the present invention is treated directly with the stabilizing solution or the rinsing solution after desilvering without washing with water, the effect of preventing contamination is remarkably exhibited.

The replenishing amount of the stabilizing solution or the rinsing solution of the present invention is preferably 200 to 2000 mL per 1 m ^{2 of the} light-sensitive material. The overflow solution resulting from the washing and / or replenishment of the stabilizing solution can be reused in another step such as a desilvering step.
In order to reduce the amount of washing water used, ion exchange or ultrafiltration may be used, and it is particularly preferable to use ultrafiltration. Various processing solutions in the present invention are 10 ° C to 50 ° C.
Used at ° C. Usually, a temperature of 33 ° C. to 38 ° C. is standard, but a higher temperature promotes the processing and shortens the processing time, and conversely lowers the temperature to achieve an improvement in the image quality and an improvement in the stability of the processing solution. be able to.

In the processing of the light-sensitive material according to the present invention, when stabilization is carried out directly without going through a washing step, JP-A-57-8543, JP-A-58-14834,
Any of the known methods described in JP-A-60-220345 and the like can be used. In addition, it is also a preferable embodiment to use a chelating agent such as 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid or ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid, or a magnesium or bismuth compound.

Following the washing and / or stabilizing step, drying is performed. From the viewpoint of reducing the amount of water carried into the image film, it is possible to speed up drying by absorbing water with a squeeze roller or cloth immediately after leaving the washing bath. As a means of improvement from the dryer side, as a matter of course, it is possible to speed up the drying by increasing the temperature or changing the shape of the spray nozzle to increase the drying air. Further, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-157650, it is possible to adjust the blowing angle of the dry air to the photosensitive material,
Drying can be accelerated by the method of removing the discharged air.
