Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, and more particularly to a method for processing the light-sensitive material suitable for rapid processing.

(Prior art) A method of shortening the development process time by using a high-silver chloride emulsion and increasing the processing temperature for rapid processing of silver halide color photographic materials is disclosed in JP-A No. 58-95345. 5
No. 9-232342, No. 61-70552, No. 62-
No. 246051, No. 62-249148, No. 62-2
No. 46055, disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 1-196044,
It is considered an effective method. By using these high-silver chloride silver halide grains, the color development processing time, which conventionally required more than 3 minutes, was shortened to less than 1 minute.However, in order to effectively shorten the total processing time, the color development process It was also necessary to shorten the time required for the steps after bleach-fixing.

In addition, there is also a rapid processing method in which color development processing is carried out in 25 seconds or less using a silver halide emulsion with a high silver chloride content, and the processing method is characterized in that the total processing time is within 2 minutes. -196044, and shows that white background and dye storage stability can be obtained by this method.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In recent years, due to the demand for faster processing, it has become possible to reduce not only the processing time during wet processing but also the total processing time including the drying process. The realization of a processing system is desired.

However, even if a silver halide photosensitive material with a high silver chloride content is used, in order to further speed up the processing speed of the photosensitive material, especially the speed of bleach-fixing processing, which has a high washout effect, and the speed of washing and/or stabilization. If the processing time from bleach-fixing to final bath treatment consisting of water washing or stabilization bath (hereinafter referred to as the appropriate time for rBsT) is further shortened to 20 to 50 seconds, color bleeding-like unevenness will occur in the image area. This easily occurs, reducing the ability to depict details in photographs and becoming a serious defect. There is a problem in that such unevenness becomes particularly noticeable after processing for reasons presumed to be due to insufficient washing with water or the influence of residues remaining in the photosensitive material. Furthermore, in order to realize a total rapid processing system, it is necessary to speed up the drying process, but when performing the rapid processing in the wet processing bath mentioned above, the temperature of the drying air is increased to achieve rapid drying. It was found that the above-mentioned color bleeding-like unevenness was promoted, leading to a decrease in quality.

Surprisingly, this problem of color bleeding becomes more pronounced when the BS process time is extremely shortened to 50 seconds or less, and the total processing time from color development time to drying process is reduced to 100 seconds.
It has been found that when the time is less than 2 seconds, the negative layer becomes noticeable.

Therefore, in the present invention, the BS process time is 20 to 50 seconds,
Furthermore, even if an innovative rapid processing is performed in which the total processing time from color development processing to drying processing is 100 seconds or less, the occurrence of blotchy unevenness in the color of the image area of the resulting photosensitive material can be effectively suppressed. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The above-mentioned object of the present invention is to transport a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material to carry out color development processing, bleach-fixing processing, water washing and/or

) and/or at least one layer containing at least one compound represented by the general formula (III), and further comprises a final bath treatment consisting of water washing or a stabilizing bath from the bleach-fixing treatment to the bleach-fixing treatment. The processing time is 20~50
It has been found that this can be effectively achieved by a method for processing silver halide color photographic materials, which is characterized in that the total processing time from color development processing to drying processing is 100 seconds or less. It was brought out.

That is, as a result of various studies, we found that when performing rapid processing using a silver halide color photographic material with a high silver chloride content,
As mentioned above, general formula (I> and/or general formula (II>
By applying a photosensitive material having at least one layer containing at least one compound represented by the general formula (I[[), the BS process time can be surprisingly reduced to 50 seconds or less. Furthermore, it has been found that the above-mentioned problems that occur strongly when the total processing time including the drying step is extremely shortened to 100 seconds or less can be effectively solved.

In the present invention, a reflective support is preferably used.

A "reflective support" is a material that increases the reflectivity and makes the dye image formed in the silver halide emulsion layer clearer. Such a reflective support includes titanium oxide, zinc oxide, Examples include those coated with a hydrophobic resin containing dispersed light-reflecting substances such as calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate, and those using a hydrophobic resin containing dispersed light-reflecting substances as a support.

The pH of these color developing solutions is generally 9 to 12. The amount of replenishment of these developing solutions depends on the color photographic light-sensitive material to be processed, but it is generally less than 31 per square meter of light-sensitive material, and can be reduced to less than 500 by reducing the bromide ion concentration in the replenisher. You can also. When reducing the amount of replenishment, it is preferable to prevent evaporation of the solution and air oxidation by reducing the contact area with the air in the processing tank, and by using means to suppress the accumulation of bromide ions in the developer. It is also possible to reduce the amount of replenishment.

After color development, the photographic emulsion layer is usually bleached.

The bleaching process may be carried out simultaneously with the fixing process (bleach-fixing process) or separately (bleach-fixing process), or in order to speed up the process, it may be carried out in two ways: bleach-fixing process after bleaching process. Depending on the purpose, treatment may be carried out in consecutive bleach-fixing baths, fixing treatment before bleach-fixing treatment, or bleaching treatment after bleach-fixing treatment. Examples of bleaching agents include iron (■) and cobalt (II).
Compounds of polyvalent metals such as I), chromium (Vl), and li (II), peracids, quinones, and nitro compounds are used.

Typical bleaching agents include ferricyanide; dichromate; organic complex salts of iron (III) or cobalt (III), such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, and 1,3-diaminoacetic acid. Aminopolycarboxylic acids such as propa-7tetraacetic acid, glycol ether diamine tetraacetic acid, or complex salts of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, etc.;

The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention is generally subjected to water washing and/or stabilization steps after desilvering treatment.

The amount of water used in the washing process depends on the characteristics of the photosensitive material (for example, depending on the materials used such as couplers), the application, the temperature of the washing water, the number of washing tanks (number of stages), the replenishment method such as countercurrent or forward flow, and various other conditions. Can be set over a wide range. Among these, the relationship between the number of washing tanks and the amount of water in the multistage countercurrent method is

ision Engineers Volume 64, P, 24B
-253 (May 1955 issue).

According to the multi-stage countercurrent method described in the above-mentioned literature, the amount of water used for washing can be significantly reduced, but due to the increase in the residence time of water in the tank, bacteria will breed, and the generated suspended matter will adhere to the photosensitive material. In the processing of the color photosensitive material of the present invention, as a solution to such problems,
The method for reducing calcium ions and magnesium ions described in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-131.632 can be used very effectively. Also, patent application No. 57-8,542

In such stabilization treatment, all the known methods described in JP-A-57-8,543, JP-A-58-14,834, JP-A-60-220, and JP-A-345 can be used.

Further, following the water washing treatment, a further stabilization treatment may be carried out, such as a stabilizing bath containing formalin and a surfactant, which is used as a final bath for color photosensitive materials for photography. .

It is also possible to add various botanical agents and antifungal agents to this stabilizing bath.

The overflow liquid from water washing and/or replenishment of the stabilizing liquid can be reused in other processes such as the desilvering process.

Here, the former processing time is the time from the time when the photosensitive material enters the bleach-fixing bath, through the final processing consisting of water washing or stabilization bath, to just before entering the drying removal solution treatment, and includes the pre-drying solution removal treatment. If not, it is the time until it enters the drying section.

The latter total processing time refers to the time from the time when the photosensitive material enters the color developing bath to the end point of drying.
