Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, and more specifically, it is easy to replenish and has little fog, and the obtained dye image has good light resistance of a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material. Regarding the processing method of.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Color light-sensitive materials for photographing are usually subjected to color development, bleaching, fixing, washing and / or stabilizing steps after exposure, and color paper light-sensitive materials are subjected to color development after exposure.
Processing is carried out by bleach-fixing (bleaching, fixing), washing and / or stabilizing steps, and the black-and-white light-sensitive material is usually processed by developing, fixing and washing steps after exposure. Further, in the case of a reversal type photosensitive material, a reversal process is added to these processes.

In recent years, the processing of such a light-sensitive material is carried out by an automatic developing machine (hereinafter, also referred to as an automatic processor) to sequentially convey the processing solution containing the processing solution.

Conventionally, these processing liquids are composed of various components (hereinafter referred to as parts agents or part agents) so as to exhibit good performance in photographic processing, and these parts agents are in contact with each other. When it is placed, it reacts and deteriorates for a long time, impairing its function as a photographic processing agent. In particular, since many treatment agents easily react with each other due to redox reaction, they are generally made into a kit by dividing them into one or two or more parts agents, and these are dissolved in a certain amount of water when used. Are used for.

The above-described kitted parts agents are put in inner containers such as bottles and bags, and these are put together in an outer bag (for example, a cardboard box) and sold as a unit.

In recent years, there has been a strong demand for environmental protection and resource saving mainly in Europe and the United States, and a plastic container for a processing agent has become a particularly serious problem in photography. That is, although a plastic container for photography is cheap and convenient for storage and transportation and has excellent chemical resistance, an empty container is landfilled as industrial waste, discarded, or incinerated. The plastic container has almost no biodegradability, and when it is accumulated and incinerated, a large amount of carbon dioxide gas is generated, which causes a problem such as global warming. Further, as a user's problem, it has been pointed out that a large number of plastic containers are piled up in a place where the work space is narrow and the space is further narrowed.

Therefore, it is desired to develop a technology for reducing pollution, which does not substantially use plastic bottles, and tableting of a treating agent is being studied.

However, when a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is processed using a tableting processing agent, there are disadvantages that fog increases and the light resistance of the dye image obtained is deteriorated. It became clear.

[0009]

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to reduce fog when the processing is carried out using a tableting silver halide photographic light-sensitive material processing agent, and the dye image obtained has good light resistance. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material.

[0010]

The above object of the present invention is to have on a support a photographic constituent layer comprising a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer. The above general formula [C-I] is used for at least one of the photographic constituent layers.
A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material containing at least one cyan coupler represented by (Chemical formula 1) is treated with a tableting silver halide photographic light-sensitive material treating agent. It is achieved by the processing method.

The tableted silver halide photographic light-sensitive material processing agent contains at least one water-soluble lubricant, and the water-soluble lubricant further comprises an alkali metal lauryl sulfate and benzoic acid. At least one selected from acid alkali metal salts and polyethylene glycol is preferable because the effects of the present invention can be more realized.

The present invention will be described in detail below.

First, the tableting silver halide photographic light-sensitive material processing agent of the present invention will be described.

The photographic solid processing agent tableted in the present invention can be obtained by granulating raw material powders, then mixing and tableting. For example, JP-A-51-61837
No. 54-155038, No. 52-88025, British Patent 1,213,808
It is also possible to employ the method described in No. A water-soluble lubricant is contained in such tableting.

The water-soluble lubricant may be added during granulation before tableting, may be added before granulation, or may be added after granulation.

In the present invention, the water-soluble lubricant is selected from boric acid, DL-leucine, fatty acid alkali metal salt, lauryl sulfate alkali metal salt, benzoic acid alkali metal salt, adipic acid, fumaric acid, sodium sulfate and polyethylene glycol. It is preferable to use at least one selected from the group consisting of alkali metal lauryl sulfate, alkali metal benzoate and polyethylene glycol in order to effectively achieve the object of the present invention.

The tableted solid photographic processing agent is very stable without causing deterioration or discoloration of processing capacity due to redox reaction during storage as seen in conventional liquid kits. In particular, when solidified, coating with a water-soluble binder has the effect that the properties of the raw material of the treatment agent do not change for a very long period of time. Examples of the water-soluble binder include polyvinyl alcohol-based, methyl cellulose-based, polyethylene oxide-based, starch-based, polyvinyl pyrrolidone-based, hydroxypropyl cellulose-based, pullulan-based, dextran-based, and gum arabic-based binders.

During storage, transportation and handling, in order to prevent from high humidity, atmospheric humidity such as rain and fog and water splashes or accidental contact with water by wet hands, it may be used for photography. The treatment agent is preferably packaged in a moisture-proof packaging material.

Microbial produced cellulose, etc.

The synthetic polymer having good biodegradability is polyvinyl alcohol, polycaprolactone, etc., or a copolymer or mixture thereof.

[0025] Examples of natural biodegradable natural polymers used for blending the biodegradable natural polymer with plastics include starch and cellulose, which impart shape-disintegrating properties to plastics.

Examples of the photodegradable plastic include those having a group in the main chain which is excited by ultraviolet rays and is linked to cleavage. Specifically, there is the introduction of a carbonyl group for photodisintegration, and an ultraviolet absorber may be added to accelerate disintegration.

Further, in addition to the above-mentioned polymers, those having two functions of photodegradability and biodegradability at the same time are also preferably used.

Specific methods for dissolving the solid processing agent include a method of dissolving the solid processing agent in water once stored in a replenishing tank or the like and then replenishing it in the processing tank, and a method of directly adding it to the processing tank and dissolving it. In the former case, a replenishment tank is needed separately from the processing tank, and therefore the latter method is preferable in that it can be dissolved without taking up space.

In the present invention, in order to supply the solid processing agent to the automatic developing machine, the area of the processed photosensitive material is integrated by a detecting device attached to the photosensitive material insertion port of the automatic developing machine, and when a predetermined unit is reached. A predetermined amount of the replenishing treatment agent is replenished directly to the treatment tank portion of the automatic developing machine when it is solidified, or one or several pieces thereof.
