Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, and more specifically, to a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, which has improved color reproducibility, especially color reproducibility in highlight areas. Regarding processing method. (Prior art) Conventionally, aromatic primary
A color image is formed by a coupling reaction between an oxidized product of a class amine developing agent and a color former to produce, for example, indophenol, indoaniline, indamine, azomethine, phenoxazine, phenazine, and similar pigments. It is a well-known place. In such photographic systems, a subtractive color reproduction method is usually adopted, and color forming agents having additional colors, namely yellow, magenta and A color silver halide photographic material containing a coupler that develops a cyan color is used. Examples of couplers used to form the yellow image include acylacetanilide couplers, and examples of couplers used to form magenta images include pyrazolone, pyrazolobenzimidazole, pyrazolotriazole, and indazolone couplers. It is known,
Furthermore, as a coupler for cyan image formation,
For example, phenolic and naphthol couplers are commonly used. The color reproducibility of a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material depends on various factors, such as the spectral sensitivity distribution of each light-sensitive emulsion layer, the spectral absorption characteristics of the dye image to be produced (λ _nax , sub-absorption, etc.), and each dye image. The degree of color mixing during development, the presence or absence of a fluorescent whitening agent, etc. are typical factors that affect color reproducibility. Particularly in silver halide photographic materials with reflective supports, dependence on the spectral absorption properties of the color-forming dyes is important if each light-sensitive layer has an appropriate spectral sensitivity distribution and color mixing during development is substantially prevented. It has extremely high quality. As for the spectral absorption characteristics of each of the yellow, magenta, and cyan dye images, the dominant wavelength and subabsorption of the spectral spectrum of each dye image are particularly important. The spectral absorption characteristics of the dye images of the preferred reflective support system are such that the main absorption of each of the yellow, magenta and cyan dye images is 430.
~460 nm, 530 to 550 nm, and 630 to 660 nm, and have no unnecessary absorption in other wavelength ranges. Conventionally, dye images used in silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials for reflection images generally satisfy the above conditions in terms of dominant wavelength, but they are not necessarily satisfactory in terms of sub-absorption. In particular, magenta and cyan dye images have considerably high sub-absorption in the blue (400 nm to 500 nm) region, which reduces the color reproducibility of current silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials for reflective images. This is one major cause. In particular, the blue color formed by the combination of magenta and cyan dye images has a high sub-absorption, so that only a blue color with extremely low saturation can be reproduced. This problem is particularly problematic in blue shadow areas with high concentrations of magenta and cyan. Such improvement in blue color reproduction can be achieved by using magenta and cyan couplers that give dye images with low side absorption as magenta and cyan dye images, but such couplers include 1H-pyrazolo-[ 3,2-
C]-S-triazole type magenta couplers are preferred, and as the cyan coupler, phenol type cyan couplers having acylamino groups at the 2- and 5-positions are preferred. On the other hand, conventional silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials for reflection images are subjected to color development treatment in the presence of a water-soluble fluorescent whitening agent in order to increase the white area of uncolored areas.
Fluorescent brighteners can be added to color developing solutions or added to photographic materials in advance.Fluorescent brighteners remain in photographic materials after processing, which can significantly reduce the whiteness of uncolored areas. Improvement is measured. By the way, 1H as the magenta coupler mentioned above
-Pyrazolo-[3,2-C]-S-triazole type couplers and other couplers with low side absorption are used as cyan couplers, and couplers with phenolic cyan couplers having acylamino groups at the 2- and 5-positions are used as photosensitive materials. When color development is carried out in the presence of a whitening agent, the whiteness of the uncolored areas improves,
Although it is possible to reproduce a blue color with high saturation, it has been found that this cannot necessarily be said to be a good color reproduction in all cases. Color reproduction in highlight areas is affected not only by the spectral absorption characteristics of the dye, but also by the fluorescent whitening effect and the spectral characteristics of the reflective support. In order to improve the whiteness, the method of imparting a blue tint to the reflective support described in JP-A-53-19021 and the technique of adding a blue tint to the white background using a fluorescent brightener to visually increase the whiteness are both highly advanced. The color reproduction of the light area is also shifted towards bluishness,
In color photographic materials containing couplers with low side absorption, such as 1H-pyrazolo-[3,2-C]-triazole magenta couplers, and phenolic cyan couplers having acylamino groups at the 2- and 5-positions, particularly in highlighted areas, It was found that there is a large tendency for the color to become bluish. In order to improve these drawbacks, processing color photographic materials containing the above two types of couplers in the absence of fluorescent brighteners impairs the whiteness of the uncolored areas, and also Intentionally increasing the yellow pigment component in light areas is undesirable from the viewpoint of neutral and highly saturated blue color reproduction. Therefore, 1H-pyrazolo-[3,2-C]-S-
Color photographic materials containing couplers with low side absorption, such as triazole couplers and magenta couplers, and phenolic cyan couplers having acylamino groups at the 2- and 5-positions are processed in the presence of a fluorescent brightener to form dye images. In this method, it is necessary to achieve good color reproduction, especially in highlighted areas. (Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object of the present invention is to use halogen for reflective images that have a reflective support and require high whiteness and blue color saturation in highlight areas. An object of the present invention is to provide a processing method that realizes high whiteness, high blue chromaticity, and good color reproduction of highlight areas in a silver chemical color photographic light-sensitive material. (Structure of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to provide a layer containing a magenta coupler represented by the following general formula [ ] and a layer containing a phenolic cyan coupler having acylamino groups at the 2- and 5-positions on a reaction support. In the method of processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having the following in the presence of a fluorescent whitening agent, the surface reflection characteristics of the reflective support are measured by the method specified in JIS-Z-8722-82, When displayed according to the method specified by JIS-Z-8730-80, a = -1.0 to +
0.4, b=in the range of -2.0 to -4.5 by a method for processing silver halide color photographic materials. General formula []

embedded image The optical brightener of the present invention can be added to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material or to a processing solution. Moreover, it can also be added to both. When added to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, it may be added to any constituent layer such as a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, intermediate layer, subbing layer, or protective layer.
In addition, as a processing liquid when added to the processing liquid,
It can be added to any processing solution such as a color developing solution, a bleaching solution, a fixing solution, a bleach-fixing solution or a stabilizing solution, but it is preferably a color developing solution or a stabilizing solution.
At this time, it may be added to two or more processing solutions. The amount of the optical brightener used is preferably 0.001 to 10 g per 1 m ² when added to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, more preferably 0.01 g.
-1 g, and when added to the treatment liquid, it is preferably 0.01 to 100 g, more preferably 0.1 to 20 g per treatment liquid. The silver halide color photographic material of the present invention includes:
The surface reflection property of the support has a value of a = -1.0 to +0.4, preferably a = -0.8 to +0.2, b = -2.0 to -4.5, preferably b = -2.5 to -4.0. be. Outside this range, the effects of the present invention cannot be obtained. JP-A-53-19021 discloses a technique for improving the whiteness of a polyolefin laminated paper support by adjusting the surface reflection characteristics to L≧90, a=0.5 to 1.5, and b=−3 to −5. However, although it is possible to obtain good whiteness, when the specific magenta coupler and specific cyan coupler of the present invention are used, the color reproducibility of highlight areas becomes unfavorable. On the other hand, a silver halide color photographic material having a reflective support having the surface reflection characteristics defined in the present invention provides visually good color reproduction from highlights to shadows, and
The whiteness also gives sufficiently good results when processed in the presence of optical brighteners. The surface reflection characteristics of the support and L, a,
b is measured by the method specified by JIS-Z-8722-82 and expressed by the method specified by JIS-Z-8730-80, and L represents lightness. The higher the value of L, the higher the brightness. Further, a represents redness, and the higher the value, the stronger the redness, and b represents the yellowness, and the higher the value, the stronger the yellowness. The whiteness of a support generally depends on the three parameters L, a, and b, but for a support with a low L value, which represents lightness characteristics, the whiteness depends on the a and b values, which represent hue. Not only that, but it also depends greatly on the L value. However, in the case of a support having a large L value, the whiteness is determined roughly by the values of a and b, and the whiteness almost depends only on the hue of the support. Therefore, for paper supports with an L value of 88 or more,
The a and b values become particularly important. The whiteness of the undeveloped area of a color photographic light-sensitive material subjected to color development processing is determined by the whiteness of the support itself, the fluorescent brightener remaining in the constituent layers of the color photographic light-sensitive material after processing, and the whiteness of the undeveloped area during color development processing. Fogging or contamination that occurs, gelatin that is not bleached by processing,
There are various other factors such as ultraviolet absorbers and filter dyes, but the whiteness of the reflective support is particularly important for the whiteness of color photographic materials that are manufactured and processed under relatively controlled conditions. Therefore, it is particularly important to define the surface spectral reflection characteristics of the reflective support as in the present invention. The reflective support of the present invention has a yellow to green color shift compared to the reflective support described in JP-A-53-19021. The numerical values used in the present invention are obtained by calculating the surface reflectance using a Hitachi 607 color analyzer (light source: halogen lamp) and performing colorimetric calculations under the conditions of 2° field of view and C light source. As the white reflective support used in the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention, any support can be used, but a paper support coated with a polyolefin resin is preferred. The reflective support having surface reflective properties of the present invention is
For example, it can be obtained by adding a white pigment or other coloring agent to a polyolefin resin. As the white pigment, titanium dioxide is preferred;
Particularly preferred is anatase type. In addition, the polyolefin resin preferably contains blue,
Colorants such as red and magenta are added. As the coloring agent used in the polyolefin resin, a known inorganic or organic pigment used for photography can be used. Examples of such color pigments include U.S. Pat. No. 3,501,298, U.S. Pat.
-117, No. 53-19021, Plastics Handbook Revised New Edition P693-701 (1969), and Paint Handbook Published by Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, P1-84 (1969). Specific examples of such compounds include ultramarine blue, navy blue, cobalt blue, phthalocyan blue, manganese blue, cerulean, tungsten blue,

There are cobalt reds, anthraquinone reds, isoindolinone reds, ultramarine reds, ultramarine pinks, etc. These colored pigments can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds, but it is particularly preferable to use a blue pigment and a red pigment in combination. The amount of the coloring pigment used is about 0.0001 to 1% by weight, preferably 0.001 to 0.1% by weight, based on the polyolefin. The polyolefin resin of the color photographic material of the present invention may further contain an optical brightener. As the optical brightener, known compounds such as stilbene type, imidazole type, carbostyryl type, oxadiazole type, coumarin type, triazole type, carbazole type, and imidazolone type can be used, and these compounds can be used as needed. be selected as appropriate. 200℃ especially when melting polyolefin

More preferably, it is about 0.02 to 5% by weight. The magenta coupler represented by the general formula [ ] of the present invention may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds, and may also be used in combination with other magenta couplers other than the present invention. However, in this case, the amount of magenta couplers other than those of the present invention is preferably limited to 50 mol% or less, more preferably 25 mol% or less, based on the total magenta couplers. The amount of magenta coupler used is per 1 m ² of silver halide photographic material.

Further, while taking into consideration the critical growth rate of silver halide crystals, halide ions and silver ions may be generated by sequentially and simultaneously adding them while controlling the PH and PAg in the mixing pot. After growth, a convergence method may be used to change the halogen composition of the particles. By using a silver halide solvent as necessary during production of the silver halide emulsion of the present invention, the grain size, grain shape, grain size distribution, and grain growth rate of silver halide grains can be controlled. The silver halide grains used in the silver halide emulsion of the present invention are formed by cadmium salt, zinc salt, lead salt,
Metal ions can be added using thallium salts, iridium salts or complex salts, rhodium salts or complex salts, iron salts or complex salts to be included inside the particles and/or on the surface of the particles, and placed in an appropriate reducing atmosphere. In some cases, reduction sensitizing nuclei can be provided inside the particles and/or on the particle surfaces. In the silver halide emulsion of the present invention, unnecessary soluble salts may be removed after the growth of silver halide grains is completed, or they may be left contained. When removing the salts, use a research disk closure.
This can be done based on the method described in No. 17643. The silver halide grains used in the silver halide emulsion of the present invention may consist of uniform layers inside and on the surface, or may consist of different layers. The silver halide grains used in the silver halide emulsion of the present invention may be grains in which a latent image is mainly formed on the surface, or grains in which a latent image is mainly formed inside the grains. The silver halide grains used in the silver halide emulsion of the present invention may have regular crystal shapes, or may have irregular crystal shapes such as spherical or plate shapes. In these particles, [1,0,
Any ratio between the 0] plane and the [1, 1, 1] plane can be used. Further, the particles may have a composite form of these crystal forms, or particles of various crystal forms may be mixed. The silver halide emulsion of the present invention may be a mixture of two or more separately formed silver halide emulsions. The silver halide emulsion of the present invention is chemically sensitized by a conventional method. In other words, sulfur sensitization using compounds containing sulfur that can react with silver ions or active gelatin, selenium sensitization using selenium compounds, reduction sensitization using reducing substances, and noble metal sensitization using gold or other noble metal compounds. Sensation methods can be used alone or in combination. The silver halide emulsion of the present invention is produced using a dye known as a sensitizing dye in the photographic industry.

Hydrophilic colloids such as sugar derivatives, cellulose derivatives, and synthetic hydrophilic polymeric substances such as monopolymers or copolymers can also be used. In the color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention, it is particularly preferable to use acid-treated gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl compound-copolymer as a fluorescent whitening reinforcing agent. The photographic emulsion layer or other hydrophilic colloid layer of a light-sensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention can be formed by using, alone or in combination, a hardening agent that crosslinks binder (or protective colloid) molecules and increases film strength. It is hardened. It is desirable to add the hardening agent in an amount that can harden the photosensitive material to the extent that it is not necessary to add the hardening agent to the processing solution, but it is also possible to add the hardening agent to the processing solution. A plasticizer can be added for the purpose of increasing the flexibility of the silver halide emulsion layer and/or other hydrophilic colloid layer of a light-sensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention. A dispersion (latex) of a water-insoluble or poorly soluble synthetic polymer may be included in the photographic emulsion layer or other hydrophilic colloid layer of a photosensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention for the purpose of improving dimensional stability.

It is convenient for color reproduction when used. Anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and cations can be used as dispersion aids when dissolving a hydrophobic compound in a low boiling point solvent alone or in combination with a high boiling point solvent and dispersing it in water using mechanical or ultrasonic waves. A surfactant can be used. Between the emulsion layers of the color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention (between the same color-sensitive layers and/or between different color-sensitive layers),
Color antifoggants are used to prevent color turbidity, deterioration of sharpness, and noticeable graininess due to migration of oxidized products of developing agents or electron transfer agents. The color antifoggant may be used in the emulsion layer itself, or in an intermediate layer provided between adjacent emulsion layers. In the color light-sensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention, an image stabilizer can be used to prevent deterioration of the dye image. Ultraviolet absorbers are added to the hydrophilic colloid layers such as the protective layer and intermediate layer of the photosensitive material of the present invention in order to prevent fogging due to discharge caused by charging of the photosensitive material due to friction, etc., and to prevent image deterioration due to UV light. It may be included. A color light-sensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention can be provided with auxiliary layers such as a filter layer, an antihalation layer, and/or an antiirradiation layer.

It is possible to add the water-soluble non-migratory dye described in the above-mentioned No. 1 to the hydrophilic colloid layer as long as it does not impede the object of the present invention. The silver halide emulsion layer and/or other hydrophilic colloid layer of a silver halide photosensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention is interlocked with each other to reduce the gloss of the photosensitive material and increase the ease of addition. A matting agent can be added for prevention purposes. A lubricant can be added to reduce the sliding friction of the light-sensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention. An antistatic agent for the purpose of preventing static electricity can be added to a light-sensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention. Antistatic agents are sometimes used in the antistatic layer on the side of the support on which the emulsion is not laminated, or they are used to protect the emulsion layer and/or the side other than the emulsion layer on which the emulsion layer is laminated with respect to the support. It may also be used in a colloid layer. The photographic emulsion layer and/or other hydrophilic colloid layer of a light-sensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention may be used to improve coating properties, prevent static electricity, improve slipperiness, emulsification dispersion, prevent adhesion, and (promote development, Various surfactants are used for the purpose of improving photographic properties (such as increasing contrast and sensitization). The silver halide material of the present invention can be produced by subjecting the surface of the support to corona discharge, ultraviolet irradiation, flame treatment, etc. as necessary, and then directly or The coating may be coated via one or more subbing layers (to improve properties such as hardness, hardness, antihalation properties, friction properties, and/or other properties). When coating a photographic light-sensitive material using the silver halide emulsion of the present invention, a thickener may be used to improve coating properties. Particularly useful coating methods are extrusion coating and curtain coating, which allow two or more layers to be applied simultaneously. An image can be formed using the silver halide photographic material of the present invention by color development as known in the art. The aromatic primary amine color developing agents used in the color developing solution of the present invention include known ones that are widely used in various color photographic processes. These developers include aminophenol and p-phenylenediamine derivatives. These compounds are generally used in the form of salts, such as hydrochlorides or sulfates, since they are more stable than in the free state. In addition, these compounds generally have a concentration of about 0.1 g to about 30 g per color developer,

The pH value of this color developer is usually 7 or more, most commonly about 10 to about 13. In the present invention, after color development processing, a processing solution having fixing properties (for example, a fixing solution, a bleach-fixing solution) is used.
However, if the processing liquid having the fixing ability is a fixing liquid, a bleaching process is performed before that. A metal complex salt of an organic acid is used as the bleaching agent in the bleaching process, and the metal complex oxidizes the metallic silver produced during development to convert it into silver halide, and at the same time colors the uncolored part of the color former. Its composition is that metal ions such as iron, cobalt, and copper are coordinated with aminopolycarboxylic acid or organic acids such as oxalic acid and citric acid. The most preferred organic acids used to form such metal complexes of organic acids include polycarboxylic acids or aminopolycarboxylic acids. These polycarboxylic acids or aminopolycarboxylic acids may be alkali metal salts, ammonium salts or water-soluble amine salts. Specific representative examples of these include the following.

Ten types of multilayer color photographic paper were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 10 types of multilayer color photographic papers were used, and the same treatments as in Example 1 were performed. As a result, the same effects as in Example 1 could be confirmed. Furthermore, instead of the combination of (M-59) and (C-6), (M-5) and (C-48), (M-104)
Similar effects were confirmed when samples were prepared in the same manner as above using combinations of (C-33) and (M-171) and (C-34).

The results are shown in Table-3. As is clear from the results in Table 3, Samples 31, 32 and 36 in which either the magenta coupler or the cyan coupler was replaced with a coupler outside the present invention all exhibited a decrease in chroma in blue reproduction. When the magenta coupler is the coupler of the present invention,
Although the decrease in saturation was small, the difference was obvious when compared with the inventive sample. Although Samples 31 and 36 had a small effect of improving blue color reproduction, they also had the drawback of a bluish tinge in highlight color reproduction. The cause of this is not necessarily clear, but the whiteness of Samples 6B, 31, 32, and 36 is a slightly reddish white compared to other samples, and in contrast with this, the blueness of the highlights appears. Think of it as emphasized. Even if the magenta coupler and cyan coupler are changed variously, the sample according to the present invention has good whiteness, blue reproduction,
Excellent effects in highlight color reproduction were confirmed. Among them, sample 6A had excellent blue color reproduction, followed by samples 33 to 35 and then 37 to 39, although there was a slight difference.
