Abstract

PURPOSE:To promote bleaching action and to shorten processing time by incorporating as bleaching agents at least one of the ferric complex salts of specified compounds and that of 1,3-diaminopropane tetraacetate in a specified ratio in a processing solution having bleaching ability. CONSTITUTION:The photosensitive material containing at least one of development inhibitor releasing couplers is color developed and processed with the bleaching solution containing as the bleaching agents at least one of the compounds selected from the ferric complex salts A of ethylenediamine tetraacetate A-1, diethylenetriamine pentaacetate A-2, and the like, and the B of 1,3-diaminopropane tetraacetate in a molar ratio A/B of <=3:1. The development inhibitor releasing coupler is allowed to release a precursor for a silver halide development inhibiting compound by the coupling reaction with the oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent and releasing said inhibitor by the electron transfer reaction of the ethylenically conjugated chains of the precursor, thus permitting rapid desilvering of the color photographic sensitive material to be executed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to an exposed silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material (
This technology relates to a development processing method (hereinafter simply referred to as processing) for developing, bleaching, and fixing color photosensitive materials (hereinafter referred to as color photosensitive materials).In particular, it accelerates the bleaching action, shortens processing time, and performs sufficient bleaching to improve image quality. The present invention relates to an improved development processing method capable of forming good color photographic images.

(Prior Art) Generally, the basic steps in processing color photosensitive materials are a color development step and a desilvering step. That is, the exposed silver halide color photographic material is subjected to a color development process. Here, the cyhalide is reduced by the color developing agent to produce silver, and the silane-forming color developing agent reacts with the color forming agent to provide a dye image. Thereafter, the color photographic material is subjected to a desilvering process. Here, the silver produced in the previous step is oxidized by the action of an oxidizing agent (commonly called a bleaching agent), and then dissolved and removed by a silver ion complexing agent, commonly called a fixing agent. Therefore, after completing these steps, only a dye image is produced in the photographic material. The actual development process is
In addition to the two basic steps of color development and desilvering mentioned above, it also includes auxiliary steps to maintain the photographic and physical quality of the image, and to improve the shelf life of the image. .

For example, a hardening bath to prevent excessive softening of the photosensitive layer during processing, a stopping bath to effectively stop the development reaction, an image stabilizing bath to stabilize the image, or a stripping bath to remove the backing layer of the support. Examples include membrane baths.

In addition, the desilvering process mentioned above can be carried out in two steps with separate bleaching and fixing baths, and in other cases, the processing process can be simplified for the purpose of speeding up processing and saving labor, and bleaching and fixing agents can coexist. In some cases, the process is carried out in a bleach-fixing bath.

In recent years, in color photographic materials, from the viewpoint of quick and simple processing and prevention of environmental pollution, ferric ion complex salts (such as aminopolycarboxylic acid ferric ion complex salts, etc.), especially iron ethylenediaminetetraacetate ( III) Complex salt) A t-based bleaching treatment method is mainly used.

However, ferric ion complex salts have a relatively low oxidizing power and are not suitable for bleaching, and products using this as a bleaching agent are, for example, low-sensitivity silver halide color photographs based on silver chlorobromide emulsions. When bleaching or bleach-fixing a light-sensitive material, it is possible to achieve the desired purpose; When processing silver halide color photographic materials, especially color reversal photographic materials and color negative photographic materials that use high-silver emulsions,
Insufficient bleaching action leads to poor desilvering, and it takes a long time to bleach! It has the disadvantage of

In color light-sensitive materials, sensitizing dyes are generally used for the purpose of color sensitization. In particular, when using tabular grains with high silver or high aspect ratio to achieve high sensitivity, there is a problem that the sensitizing dye adsorbed on the silver halide surface inhibits the bleaching of the silver produced during development of the silver halide. arise.

Persulfates are known as bleaching agents other than ferric ion complex salts, and are usually used as a bleach solution containing persulfate, gold chloride, and gold. However, the disadvantage of bleaching solutions using persulfates is that they have a weaker bleaching edge than ferric ion complex salts and take a significantly longer time to bleach.

In general, bleaching agents that are not polluting or corrosive to equipment are associated with weak bleaching blades, so bleaching agents with weak bleaching blades, especially ferric ion complex salts or persulfates, are used. It is desired to increase the bleaching capacity of the solution.

In contrast, Research Disclosure 24023

The R coupler has been improved in these shortcomings, but this DI
When the R coupler is used, the desilvering step in processing is delayed, and furthermore, the cyan density in high density areas is specifically reduced due to poor color recovery.

Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a processing method for quickly desilvering color light-sensitive materials.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the decrease in cyan density due to poor color restoration.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present inventors have made extensive studies to solve the above object, and have found that the object of the present invention can be effectively achieved by using the following means. I found it.

That is, in a method in which an imagewise exposed silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is color-developed and then processed with a processing solution having bleaching ability, the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is an oxidized aromatic primary amine developer. A precursor of a compound that completely inhibits the development of silver dihalide is released by the coupling reaction with the hindlimb precursor, and the precursor of the compound that inhibits the development of silver halide is released by an electron transfer reaction via the ethylenic conjugated chain. The processing solution containing at least one development inhibitor-releasing coupler and having bleaching ability contains at least one ferric complex salt of a compound selected from the following compound group (A) as a bleaching agent, and 1,3-diamino The object of the present invention has been achieved by a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, which is characterized in that it contains a ferric propanetetraacetic acid complex salt in a molar ratio of the former to the latter of 3 or less.

A first bleaching agent and a second bleaching agent were added to the lot pH 5,0-7,0 bleaching solution as shown in Table 1 for treatment. After the treatment, the amount of remaining silver at the point where the yellow, maze, and cyan densities reached 1.5 was examined using fluorescent X-rays.

Samples containing images with the same density were washed with the following bleaching solution.
After processing for 0 minutes to restore the cyan image, wash it with water, and after drying, measure the density of the cyan image again to determine the increase in density due to re-bleaching, that is, the decrease in density due to poor color restoration, and display the following results. Shown in 1.

Particularly favorable results are obtained when the p of the bleach solution is 0 or less.
Good results were obtained with Yi 4b (especially with 5.0 to zO).

However, if the bleaching agent molar ratio is less than α1, although desilvering and color recovery are good, another problem of bleach capri occurs, so it is preferable that the molar ratio is not less than α1.
