Detailed Description of the Invention

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silver halide color having good color reproducibility in a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, which prevents sensitivity deterioration during long-term storage when a pyrazoloazole type magenta coupler is used. Photosensitive material

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The use of a pyrazoloazole type magenta coupler as a magenta coupler for improving color reproducibility in a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material has already been known (US Pat. No. 3725067, JP-A-3725067). No. 60-172982). This coupler is
Compared with conventional pyrazolone-type magenta couplers, the visible absorption spectrum of the coloring dye generated by development is sharp, and the absorption of unnecessary regions, that is, the yellow component and the cyan component are small, and especially the colors such as red, pink and pink are very vivid. it can. However, it has been found that when a light-sensitive material using the pyrazoloazole-type magenta coupler is stored for a long period of time, the sensitivity of the layer to which the coupler is added is significantly reduced. This phenomenon was particularly noticeable in a color reversal light-sensitive material on which an image was formed by a process including a black and white development process. In the case of a color reversal light-sensitive material, the color image obtained after processing cannot be corrected because it is directly observed. Therefore, the imbalance of cyan, magenta, and yellow is a serious problem. US Pat. No. 2,728,65 for preventing the above-mentioned sensitivity deterioration

Although the dibranched alkyl hydroquinone described in No. 156438 is effective, none of them has reached a sufficient level.

The crystal structure may be uniform, may have a different halogen composition between the inside and the outside, may have a layered structure, and may have a different composition by epitaxial bonding. Alternatively, it may be bonded to a compound other than silver halide such as silver rhodanide and lead oxide. Also, a mixture of particles having various crystal forms may be used. The above emulsion may be either a surface latent image type which forms a latent image mainly on the surface, an internal latent image type which is formed inside the grain or a type which has a latent image both on the surface and inside, but a negative type emulsion. It is necessary to be. Among the internal latent image type emulsions, core / shell type internal latent image type emulsions described in JP-A-63-264740 may be used.

Two or more of these compounds can be used in combination depending on the purpose. Color developers include alkaline metal carbonates, borates or phosphates.
It is common to include a pH buffer, a chloride salt, a bromide salt, an iodide salt, a development inhibitor such as a benzimidazole, a benzothiazole or a mercapto compound, or an antifoggant. If necessary, hydroxylamine, diethylhydroxylamine, sulfite, hydrazines such as N, N-biscarboxymethylhydrazine, phenylsemicarbazides, triethanolamine, various preservatives such as catecholsulfonic acids, ethylene glycol, Organic solvents such as diethylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, quaternary ammonium salts, development accelerators such as amines, dye-forming couplers, competing couplers, auxiliary developing agents such as 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, viscosity imparting Agent, aminopolycarboxylic acid,

When reversal processing is carried out, black and white development is usually carried out before color development. In this black-and-white developer, known black-and-white developing agents such as dihydroxybenzenes such as hydroquinone, 3-pyrazolidones such as 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone or aminophenols such as N-methyl-p-aminophenol are used alone. Alternatively, they can be used in combination. The color developing solution and the black and white developing solution generally have a pH of 9 to 12. The replenishment amount of these developers depends on the color photographic light-sensitive material to be processed, but is generally 3 liters or less per 1 square meter of the light-sensitive material, and is 500 ml or less by reducing the bromide ion concentration in the replenisher. You can also When the replenishment amount is reduced, it is preferable to prevent the liquid evaporation and air oxidation by reducing the contact area of the treatment tank with the air. The contact area between the photographic processing liquid and air in the processing tank can be represented by the aperture ratio defined below. That is, aperture ratio = [contact area between treatment liquid and air (cm ² )] ÷ [volume of treatment liquid (cm ³ )] The above aperture ratio is preferably 0.1 or less, and more preferably 0.001 to 0.05. Is. As a method of reducing the aperture ratio in this way, in addition to providing a cover such as a floating lid on the photographic processing liquid surface of the processing tank, a method using a movable lid described in JP-A-1-82033 is disclosed. The slit development processing method described in 63-216050 can be mentioned. Reducing the aperture ratio is not limited to both the color development and black and white development steps, but also the subsequent steps such as bleaching, bleach-fixing,
It is preferably applied in all steps such as fixing, washing with water, and stabilization. Further, the amount of replenishment can be reduced by using a means for suppressing the accumulation of bromide ions in the developing solution. The color development processing time is usually set between 2 and 5 minutes, but the processing time can be further shortened by using a high temperature and high pH and using a color developing agent at a high concentration.

The photographic emulsion layer after color development is usually bleached. The bleaching process may be performed simultaneously with the fixing process (bleach-fixing process), or may be performed individually. Further, in order to speed up the processing, a processing method of bleach-fixing processing after bleaching processing may be used. Further, treatment with two continuous bleach-fixing baths, fixing treatment before the bleach-fixing treatment, or bleaching treatment after the bleach-fixing treatment can be optionally carried out according to the purpose. As the bleaching agent, compounds of polyvalent metals such as iron (III), peracids, quinones, nitro compounds and the like are used. Typical bleaching agents include organic complex salts of iron (III) such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid and glycol etherdiaminetetraacetic acid. Polycarboxylic acids or complex salts of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and the like can be used. Of these, aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salts including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid iron (III) complex salts and 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid iron (III) complex salts are preferable from the viewpoint of rapid treatment and prevention of environmental pollution. . Further, the aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salt is particularly useful in both the bleaching solution and the bleach-fixing solution. The pH of a bleaching solution or a bleach-fixing solution using these aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salts is usually 4.0 to 8, but a lower pH can be used for speeding up the processing.

If necessary, a bleaching accelerator can be used in the bleaching solution, the bleach-fixing solution and their pre-bath.
