Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for processing negative-working silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials. More specifically, it is a negative-working silver halide for photography that has excellent storage stability of processed images in rapid processing in which the total processing time of the water washing and/or stabilization processing steps in the color development processing step is shortened. The present invention relates to a method for processing color photographic materials.

(Prior Art) The basic process of processing silver halide color photographic materials (hereinafter referred to as photosensitive materials) consists of a color development process and a desilvering process, but the actual processing steps for photosensitive materials are as follows: In addition to the two basic steps of color development and desilvering, auxiliary steps are carried out for the purpose of improving the stability and shelf life of the resulting color image, such as:
It includes washing, rinsing, and stabilization processes. Furthermore, auxiliary steps including stop bath and hardening bath treatments may be included to maintain the photographic and physical quality of the color image.

In recent years, there has been a strong demand from users for faster and simpler processing of optical materials. In addition to the above-mentioned color development process and desilvering process, we also work tirelessly to research the auxiliary processes such as water washing, rinsing, stabilization process, and other processes in order to meet the needs of our users. is done 1
It has made steady progress and is now in practical use.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, it has been found that shortening the cleaning steps such as water washing and stabilization in this way deteriorates the image storage stability, and in particular increases the discoloration of cyan images over time, which cannot be improved. I was honored.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a method for rapid processing of light-sensitive materials that exhibits excellent wet and heat fastness of cyan images.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for rapidly processing photosensitive materials having stable color reproducibility.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The above problems of the present invention could be solved by the following means. In other words, gI! A color development process in which a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material subjected to SW light is subjected to a color development process containing an aromatic primary amine color developer and a desilvering process, followed by washing with water and/or a stabilization process. The total processing time of the water washing and/or stabilization processing step is 0 seconds or less, and the photosensitive material is aromatic.
A coupling reaction with the oxidized form of vj amine color developer produces water-soluble 6-hydroxy-2-pyridone-! -ylazo group, water-soluble coacylaminophenylazo group,
At least a layer containing at least one yellow-colored cyan coupler capable of releasing a compound residue containing either a water-soluble 2-sulfonamidophenylazo group or a water-soluble pyrazolone-tei-ylazo group. This was achieved by a method for processing a silver halide color photographic material characterized by containing IN.

As seven means for improving color reproducibility, colored couplers are used, for example, in color negative photographic materials in order to correct unnecessary e-absorption of colored images.

There are many publications and patents describing these colored couplers, but one example is research.

re)43o7, /o! (/91 Y.

It is described in Section 1-G of Nov.

In order to use this colored coupler to correct unnecessary absorption of the cyan color image, the maximum absorption wavelength of the coupler in the visible range is currently approximately ! A coupler that has absorption in the region of OO to A 00 nm and forms a cyan image with a maximum absorption wavelength of about t30 to 7 j Onm by coupling reaction with an oxidized product of an aromatic primary amine developer. It is used.

However, the absorption in the visible range of the cyan color image is 4
It also has absorption in the region of t00 to j00 nm.

If these unnecessary absorptions are corrected using a so-called yellow-colored cyan coupler, it is possible to obtain an effect similar to the interlayer effect from a cyan color element image to a yellow color element image in terms of photographic performance, which improves color reproducibility. It is expected that

The possibility is described in 4AII etc.

The present invention provides a processing method in which the processing time of water washing and stabilization steps is shortened, and the fading of the cyan image over time is greatly suppressed by using a photosensitive material containing a specific colored coupler among the above-mentioned colored couplers. It was discovered that this is not disclosed or suggested at all in the above-cited patent specifications.

Furthermore, if unexploded FJA is used, it is possible to simultaneously suppress changes in yellow mask density over time, thereby achieving excellent image storage stability.

This means rinsing for a short time or with a small amount of replenishment water. Therefore, it is essentially treated as synonymous with washing with water. Therefore, the steps subsequent to the color development treatment and desilvering treatment steps can be summarized as water washing and/or stabilization treatment steps.

It is 90 g/bo, more preferably 0.03 to 0.15 g/bo.

The yellow-colored cyan coupler of the present invention can be added to a photosensitive material in the same manner as a conventional coupler, as described below.

The light-sensitive material of the present invention may have at least one layer containing at least one yellow-colored cyano coupler on the support. In the case of a light-sensitive material having a multilayer structure, it is sufficient that at least seven layers including a blue-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer, a red-sensitive layer, and a silver halide emulsion layer are provided on the support. There are no particular restrictions on the number or order of the layers of the silver halide emulsion and the non-photosensitive layer. A typical example is

Typical examples include salts and their salts.

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 being processed, but is generally less than 3I per square meter of light-sensitive material, and can be reduced to less than 500D by reducing the bromide ion concentration in the replenisher. When reducing the amount of replenishment, it is preferable to prevent evaporation of the liquid and air oxidation by reducing the area of contact with the air in the processing tank.

The contact area between the photographic processing solution and air in the processing tank can be expressed by the aperture ratio defined below.

That is, the contact area between the treatment liquid and the air (C1) The above aperture ratio is preferably 0.1 or less, more preferably 0.001 to 0.05, and even more preferably o

It is preferable that it is applicable to all steps such as bleach-fixing, fixing, washing, and stabilization, and the amount of replenishment can also be reduced by using means for suppressing the accumulation of bromide ions in the developer.

The time for color development processing is usually set between 2 and 5 minutes, but the processing time can be further shortened by using high temperature and high pi, and using a high concentration of color developing agent.

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.

The compounds described in US Pat. No. 5,630 are preferred, and the compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,552,834 are also preferred. These bleach accelerators are particularly effective when bleach-fixing color light-sensitive materials.

In addition to the above-mentioned compounds, the bleaching solution and bleach-fixing solution preferably contain an organic acid for the purpose of preventing bleach staining. Particularly preferred organic acids have an acid dissociation constant (pKa) of 2.
-5, specifically acetic acid, propionic acid, etc. are preferred.

Examples of fixing agents used in fixing solutions and bleach-fixing solutions include thiosulfates, thiocyanates, thioether compounds, thioureas, and large amounts of iodide salts, but thiosulfates are commonly used. Among them, ammonium thiosulfate is the most widely used.

0°C, preferably 35°C to 45°C. In a preferred temperature range, the desilvering rate is improved and the occurrence of staining after processing is effectively prevented.

In the desilvering step, it is preferable that stirring be as strong as possible. Specific methods for strengthening the agitation include the method of impinging a jet of processing liquid on the emulsion surface of the photosensitive material described in JP-A-62-183460, and the method described in JP-A-62-183.
No. 461, a method of increasing the stirring effect using a rotating means, and further improving the stirring effect by moving the photosensitive material while bringing the emulsion surface into contact with a wiper blade provided in the liquid to create turbulence on the emulsion surface. Examples include a method of increasing the circulation flow rate of the entire treatment liquid. Such means for improving agitation is effective for all bleaching solutions, bleach-fixing solutions, and fixing solutions. It is believed that improved stirring speeds up the supply of bleach and fixing agent into the emulsion film, and as a result increases the desilvering rate. Further, the agitation improving means described above is more effective when a bleach accelerator is used, and can significantly increase the accelerating effect and eliminate the fixing inhibiting effect caused by the bleach accelerator.

The automatic developing machine used for the photosensitive material of the present invention is
No. 0-191257, No. 60-191258, No. 60
It is preferable to have a photosensitive material conveying means as described in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 191259-1912. This effect is particularly effective in shortening the processing time in each step and reducing the amount of processing solution replenishment.

In processing using an automatic processor, when each processing liquid is concentrated by evaporation, it is preferable to add water to correct the concentration.

The various processing solutions used in the present invention are typically used at a temperature of 10°C to 50°C, usually at a temperature of 33°C to 38°C, but it is possible to use a higher temperature to accelerate the processing and shorten the processing time. Or, conversely, by lowering the temperature, it is possible to improve the ijf and the stability of the processing solution.

This time can be changed by adjusting the depth from the stabilizing bath liquid level of the reversing bar (upward/downward) of the sample installed on the rack when the sample passes through the stabilizing bath. I made adjustments. The treatment time for all three Hinoki stabilizers was the same, and the treatment times shown in Table 1 represent the total stabilization treatment time for the three tanks.

For each sample obtained by processing, the cyan density was measured for the sample that had been wet exposed to sunlight, and its characteristic curve was obtained. After storing it under the following conditions for several months, measure the density applied after the end of the test for the portion of the exposure that gives the cyan density S and OO before the start of the test, and calculate the density ratio (color image survival rate, D(
%)) degree, and then heated to 70°C under the same conditions as above.
The sample was stored in 04RH for 1 month, and the yellow density was measured again to determine the difference (ΔDy), and the stability of the yellow-colored cyan coupler was investigated (however, the sample AlO7 was not tested).

The results obtained are summarized in Table 1.
