Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having a dyed layer and a method of processing the same, and further has improved color reproduction, sharpness and storability. And the processing method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The technology of silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials has been improved more and more in recent years, but in the world, the demand for higher sensitivity and the demand for image quality are never stopped, and further progress is required. Also, in the world, simple, quick, resource saving,
The trend is to save energy, and we are entering an era in which only environmentally friendly products on the planet can be accepted.

Among them, the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is
It must have high image quality, have little processing dependence even when subjected to simple processing / quick processing, and have little image quality deterioration even after processing.

Techniques for incorporating a dye into a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for improving the image or adjusting the sensitivity have been conventionally carried out in the art. Further, the photographic emulsion layer and / or other hydrophilic colloid layer are often colored for the purpose of absorbing light in a specific wavelength range.

When it is necessary to control the spectral composition of light to be incident on the photographic emulsion layer, a coloring layer is usually provided on the side farther from the support than the photographic emulsion layer on which the controlled light is incident. Such a colored layer is called a filter layer. When there are multiple photographic emulsion layers, the filter layer may be located between them.

The light scattered when passing through or after passing through the photographic emulsion layer is reflected at the interface between the emulsion layer and the support or at the interface between the emulsion layer and the support on the opposite side to the photographic emulsion again. An antihalation layer is called between the photographic emulsion layer and the support or on the side opposite to the support and the photographic emulsion layer for the purpose of preventing deterioration of image sharpness, i.e., halation due to incidence into the layer. A colored layer may be placed.

The photographic emulsion layer may be colored in order to prevent a reduction in image sharpness (usually called "irradiation") due to light scattering mainly by silver halide grains in the photographic emulsion layer. Be seen.

Recently, yellow colloidal silver (usually CareyLea Silver) in color photographic light-sensitive materials has been used.
The use of such dyes for the purpose of substituting the above), coloring dyes for the crossover cut layer in X-ray photosensitive materials, dyes for dyeing non-photosensitive emulsion layers for safelight safety in printed photographic photosensitive materials, etc. It has spread.

The dyes used in these applications are required to satisfy the following conditions. (1) It has an appropriate spectral absorption according to the purpose of photography. (2) Photochemically inactive. That is, it should not adversely affect the performance of the silver halide photographic emulsion such as sensitivity deterioration, latent image regression or fog. (3) It should not be decolorized in the course of photographic processing or be dissolved in a processing solution or washed with water to leave no harmful coloring on the photographic light-sensitive material after processing. (4) Do not diffuse from a colored layer to another layer before and after the photographic processing process before and after exposure. (5) It has excellent stability over time in a photographic light-sensitive material and does not discolor.

With a general so-called water-soluble dye, it is not possible to dye only a specific layer, and it is diffused in all layers in the light-sensitive material, which reduces unnecessary sensitivity and silver halide. May have adverse effects.

In order to avoid these problems, dyes with suppressed diffusivity for dyeing a specific layer are known. For example, US Pat. No. 4,420,555 and JP-A-61-260430 are known as diffusion-resistant dyes. No. 61-205934, No. 6
2-56958, 62-222248, 63-
It is described in Japanese Patent No. 184749.

It has become possible to dye the specific layer with these diffusion-resistant dyes and to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks to some extent, but the performance of decolorization and elution in the treatment liquid, which is an important function, is inferior. However, there is a problem that storage stability is insufficient and deterioration of photographic properties with time occurs, and a new dye has been demanded.

Under these circumstances, a method of dyeing a specific layer using a water-insoluble dye solid is a world patent (WO) 88 /
04794, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,950,586, 4,857,446, 4,900,653, 4,923,788, and European Patents 0,252,550.
No. 0,021,513, etc., these dye dispersions have a broad hue and are suitable for absorption of light in a wide range, but are disadvantageous for absorption of light of a specific wavelength. is there. Further, since the absorbance of the dispersion is small, it has a drawback that a large amount of it is required.

Further, in JP-A-3-127050, improvement in sharpness, graininess, color reproducibility and desilvering property during development processing is achieved by combining a solid dispersion of a dye and a compound which releases a development inhibitor. It is carried out.

However, for the same reason as described above, the hue is broad and the light in the spectral sensitivity region of the lower layer of the layer containing the dye is also absorbed, so that the sensitivity increasing effect is small. In addition, the storability over time was poor, and the processing variation was large.

The light-sensitive material of the present invention comprises a photosensitive silver halide emulsion having a grain size, a grain size distribution, a halogen composition,
Two or more kinds of emulsions having at least one characteristic of grain shape and sensitivity can be mixed and used in the same layer.

The fogged silver halide grains described in US Pat. No. 4,082,553 and the fogged grains described in US Pat. No. 4,626,498 and JP-A-59-214852 are fogged. The prepared silver halide grains and colloidal silver can be preferably used in the photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer and / or the substantially non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloid layer.
The fogged silver halide grain inside or on the surface means a silver halide grain capable of developing uniformly (non-imagewise) regardless of the unexposed portion and exposed portion of the light-sensitive material. . A method for preparing a silver halide grain whose inside or surface is fogged is described in US Pat. No. 4,626,498 and JP-A-59-214852.

The silver halide forming the inner nucleus of a core / shell type silver halide grain having a fogged inside may have the same halogen composition or different halogen compositions. As the silver halide whose inside or surface is fogged, any of silver chloride, silver chlorobromide, silver iodobromide and silver chloroiodobromide can be used. The grain size of these fogged silver halide grains is not particularly limited, but the average grain size is 0.01 to 0.7.
The thickness is preferably 5 μm, particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.6 μm. Also,
The particle shape is not particularly limited and may be regular particles. Although it may be a polydisperse emulsion, it is preferably monodisperse (in which at least 95% of the weight or number of silver halide grains has a grain size within ± 40% of the average grain size).

In the present invention, it is preferable to use a non-photosensitive fine grain silver halide. The non-photosensitive fine grain silver halide is a fine grain of silver halide which is not exposed to light during imagewise exposure for obtaining a dye image and is not substantially developed in the developing treatment, and it is preferable that it is not fogged in advance. .

The fine grain silver halide has a silver bromide content of 0 to 100 mol%, and if necessary, silver chloride and / or
Alternatively, it may contain silver iodide. Preferred is one containing 0.5 to 10 mol% of silver iodide.

The fine grain silver halide preferably has an average grain size (average value of circle equivalent diameters of projected areas) of 0.01 to 0.5 μm, more preferably 0.02 to 0.2 μm.

Fine grain silver halide can be prepared in the same manner as in the case of ordinary photosensitive silver halide. In this case, the surface of the silver halide grain does not need to be chemically sensitized,
Also, spectral sensitization is not necessary. However, prior to adding this to the coating liquid, it is preferable to add a known stabilizer such as a triazole-based, azaindene-based, benzothiazolium-based, or mercapto-based compound or a zinc compound in advance. Colloidal silver can be preferably contained in this fine grain silver halide grain-containing layer.

The silver coating amount of the light-sensitive material of the present invention was 6.0 g.
/ M ² or less is preferable, and 4.5 g / m ² or less is most preferable.

Further, in order to speed up the processing, a processing method of bleach-fixing processing after bleaching processing may be used. Further, it is possible to optionally carry out the treatment in two continuous bleach-fixing baths, the fixing treatment before the bleach-fixing treatment, or the bleaching treatment after the bleach-fixing treatment. As the bleaching agent, for example, polyvalent metal compounds such as iron (III), peracids, quinones, and nitro compounds are used. Typical bleaching agents are organic complex salts of iron (III), such as aminoamines such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid and glycol etherdiaminetetraacetic acid.

Such a stirring improving means is a bleaching solution,
It is effective for both the bleach-fixing solution and the fixing solution. Improving stirring speeds up the supply of bleaching agent and fixing agent into the emulsion film,
As a result, it is considered that the desilvering rate is increased. Also,
The agitation improving means is more effective when a bleaching accelerator is used. It is possible to remarkably increase the accelerating effect and eliminate the fixing inhibiting action of the bleaching accelerator.

The automatic developing machine used for developing the light-sensitive material of the present invention is disclosed in JP-A-60-191257 and 60-19.
It is preferable to have the photosensitive material conveying means described in Nos. 1258 and 60-191259. The above-mentioned JP-A-6
As described in No. 0-191257, such a conveying means can significantly reduce the carry-in of the treatment liquid from the front bath to the rear bath, and is highly effective in preventing the performance deterioration of the treatment liquid. Such effects are particularly effective in shortening the processing time in each step and reducing the amount of processing liquid replenishment.

The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention is generally washed with water and / or stabilized after the desilvering treatment. The amount of rinsing water in the rinsing step depends on the characteristics of the photosensitive material (for example, depending on the materials used such as couplers), application, and further, the rinsing water temperature, the number of rinsing tanks (number of stages), replenishment method such as countercurrent, forward flow, and various other conditions. It can be set in a wide range.
Among these, the relationship between the number of washing tanks and the amount of water in the multi-stage counterflow method is described in the Journal of the Societ.
y of Motion Picture and T
Evolution Engineers Volume 64,
P. 248 to 253 (May 1955 issue). According to the multi-stage countercurrent method described in the above-mentioned document, the amount of washing water can be greatly reduced, but due to the increase in the residence time of water in the tank, bacteria propagate, and the suspended matter produced adheres to the photosensitive material, etc. Problem arises. In the processing of the color light-sensitive material of the present invention, as a solution to such a problem, JP-A-62-288,838 has been proposed.
The method of reducing calcium ion and magnesium ion described in No. 10 can be used very effectively. Further, isothiazolone compounds and siabendazoles described in JP-A-57-8542, chlorinated germicides such as chlorinated sodium isocyanurate, and benzotriazole are also described by Hiroshi Horiguchi in "Bacterial and Antifungal Agents". Chemistry "(1986)

The pH of washing water in the processing of the light-sensitive material of the present invention is 4 to 9, preferably 5 to 8. The washing water temperature and washing time can be set variously depending on the characteristics and use of the light-sensitive material, but generally 15 to 45 ° C. and 20 seconds to 10 seconds.
Minutes, preferably at 25-40 ° C. for 30 seconds-5 minutes. Further, the light-sensitive material of the present invention can be directly processed with a stabilizing solution instead of the above washing with water. In such stabilization treatment, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-8543,
All known methods described in JP-A-58-14834 and JP-A-60-220345 can be used.

In addition, the washing treatment may be followed by a further stabilizing treatment. As an example of the stabilizing treatment, a stabilizer containing a dye stabilizer and a surfactant, which is used as a final bath of a color light-sensitive material for photographing, is used. You can mention the bath. Examples of dye stabilizers include aldehydes such as formalin and glutaraldehyde, N-methylol compounds, hexamethylenetetramine, and aldehyde sulfite adducts. Various chelating agents and antifungal agents can also be added to this stabilizing bath.

The overflow solution accompanying the above washing with water and / or supplementation of the stabilizing solution can be reused in other steps such as the desilvering step.

In the processing using an automatic processor or the like, when each processing solution described above is concentrated by evaporation, it is preferable to add water to correct the concentration.
