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 having a magnetic layer, and particularly to provide a processing method excellent in magnetic information reading performance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material (hereinafter abbreviated as a light-sensitive material), it is almost impossible to input or output various kinds of information at the time of photographing or printing, and it is slightly optical. It was only possible to input / output the shooting date and time. By the way, JP-A-4-68336 and JP-A-4-68336.
No. -73737, or as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-88283, by providing a transparent magnetic recording layer on the entire surface of a light-sensitive material, shooting conditions such as date and time of shooting, weather, reduction / enlargement ratio, Number of reprints, areas to zoom,
It is possible to input the message, development, print conditions, etc. to the sensitive material. Also, various information can be provided even when inputting to video equipment such as TV / video.
This is a promising method for the future.

On the other hand, in such a method for processing a light-sensitive material, color development, desilvering, washing with water and stabilizing treatment are generally carried out. By the way, the desilvering process can be roughly divided into two cases, that is, a processing method in which bleaching and fixing are separated, and a case in which processing is performed by a bleach-fixing solution having two functions combined. In particular, the light-sensitive material for photographing has a large amount of coated silver as compared with the print-based material, and since silver iodobromide is mainly used, the desilvering load is high. Was a heavy load, and was a factor that required processing time. In particular, in continuous processing such as running processing, the accumulation of iodine ions eluted from the light-sensitive material not only hinders the fixing performance but also deteriorates the reading accuracy of magnetic recording. It was found that this problem occurs more markedly in the bleach-fixing step in which both are performed simultaneously than in the bleach-fixing step. The present inventors have analyzed the factors of the deterioration of the magnetic recording performance, and have found that the trace amount of silver sulfide remaining in the photosensitive material has an adverse effect. Further, it has been found that this effect is greater as the concentration of iodine ions is higher, and is further aggravated in the bleach-fixing solution.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to process a light-sensitive material having a magnetic recording layer without deteriorating the S / N ratio of magnetically recorded information. The present invention is to provide a processing method of No. 3, and further to provide a fixing process having excellent desilvering performance.

[0005]

(1) A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having at least one red-sensitive layer, green-sensitive layer and blue-sensitive layer on a transparent support and a magnetic layer containing ferromagnetic fine powder.

Among them, polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate is particularly preferable.

These homopolymers and copolymers can be synthesized according to conventionally known methods for producing polyesters. For example, when the acid component is directly esterified with the glycol component, or when a dialkyl ester is used as the acid component, first, the transesterification reaction with the glycol component is performed, and this is heated under reduced pressure to remove the excess glycol component. By doing so, it can be synthesized. Alternatively, the acid component may be an acid halide and reacted with glycol. At this time, if necessary, a transesterification reaction catalyst, a polymerization reaction catalyst, or a heat resistance stabilizer may be added.

It can be easily formed according to the method described in 1.

The polyester of the present invention has a Tg of 50 ° C.
As described above, the conditions of use are not generally handled with sufficient care, and the temperature is often exposed to 40 ° C. especially in the midsummer outdoors. From this viewpoint, the Tg of the present invention is safe. The temperature is preferably 55 ° C or higher. More preferably, Tg is 60 ° C. or higher, and particularly preferably 70 ° C. or higher. Further, it is preferable that Tg is 90 ° C. or higher in order to complete the treatment. This is because the effect of improving the curling habit by this heat treatment disappears when exposed to a temperature exceeding the glass transition temperature, so that the temperature is a severe condition when used by general users, that is, the temperature in summer exceeds 40 ° C. Polyesters having a glass transition temperature above the temperature are preferred.

Next, examples of preferable specific compounds of the polyester used in the present invention are shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Polyester compound example P-0: [terephthalic acid (TPA) / ethylene glycol (EG)) (100/100)] (PET) Tg = 80 ° C. P-1: [2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDCA) / Ethylene glycol (EG) (100/100)] (PEN) Tg = 119 ° C. P-2: [terephthalic acid (TPA) / cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) (100/100)] Tg = 93 ° C. P-3: [TPA / bisphenol A (BPA) (100/100)] Tg = 192 ° C

P-4: 2,6-NDCA / TPA / EG (50/50/100) Tg = 92 ° C. P-5: 2,6-NDCA / TPA / EG (75/25/100) Tg = 102 ° C P-6: 2,6-NDCA / TPA / EG / BPA (50/50/75/25) Tg = 112 ° C P-7: TPA / EG / BPA (100/50/50) Tg = 105 ° C P -8: TPA / EG / BPA (100/25/75) Tg = 135 ° C. P-9: TPA / EG / CHDM / BPA (100/25/25/50) Tg = 115 ° C.

P-10: IPA / PPDC / TPA / EG (20/50/30/100) Tg = 95 ° C. P-11: NDCA / NPG / EG (100/70/30) Tg = 105 ° C. P-12 : TPA / EG / BP (100/20/80) Tg = 115 ° C. P-13: PHBA / EG / TPA (200/100/100) Tg = 125 ° C. P-14: PEN / PET (60/40) Tg = 95 ° C. P-15: PEN / PET (80/20) Tg = 104 ° C. P-16: PAr / PEN (50/50) Tg = 142 ° C. P-17: PAr / PCT (50/50) Tg = 118 ° C P-18: PAr / PET (60/40) Tg = 101 ° C P-19: PEN / PET / PAr (50/25/25) Tg = 108 ° C P-20: TPA / 5-sulfoi Phthalic acid (SIP) / EG (95/5/100) Tg = 65 ℃ P-21: PEN / SIP / EG (99/1/100) Tg = 115 ℃

These supports of the present invention have a thickness of 50 μm or more and 300 μm or less. If it is less than 50 μm, it cannot withstand the shrinkage stress of the photosensitive layer generated during drying, while if it exceeds 300 μm, it is inconsistent with the purpose of reducing the thickness for compactness. More preferably from the strength of the waist, the thicker one is preferably 50 to 200 μm,
Furthermore, 80 to 115 μm is preferable, and 8 is particularly preferable.
It is 5 to 105 μm. All of the polyesters of the present invention as described above have a flexural modulus higher than that of TAC, and it was possible to realize the original thinning of the film. However, PE has strong bending elasticity among these.
T and PEN, with which TAC is 122 μm
The required film thickness can be reduced to 105 μm or less. Next, the polyester support of the present invention is characterized by being heat-treated, and in that case, it is necessary to perform the treatment at a temperature of 40 ° C. or higher and a glass transition temperature or lower for 0.1 to 1500 hours. This effect progresses faster as the heat treatment temperature increases. However, if the heat treatment temperature exceeds the glass transition temperature, the film tends to be curled. Therefore, this heat treatment needs to be performed at a temperature not higher than the glass transition temperature.

The heat treatment temperature is 40 ° C. or higher and lower than Tg, more preferably Tg −20 ° C. or higher and lower than Tg. Four
If the temperature is lower than 0 ° C., it takes a long time to obtain a sufficient curling effect, resulting in poor industrial productivity. The heat treatment may be performed at a constant temperature within this temperature range, or the heat treatment may be performed while cooling. The average cooling rate of cooling is −0.01 to −20 ° C./hour, more preferably −0.1 to −5 ° C./hour. This heat treatment time is 0.1 hours or more and 1500 hours or less, and more preferably 0.5 hours or more and 200 hours or less.
If the time is less than 0.1 hours, a sufficient effect cannot be obtained, and 1
When the time is 500 hours or more, the effect is saturated, but the support is likely to be colored or brittle.

In order to further increase the effect of eliminating the curling habit, after the heat treatment is performed at a temperature of Tg or higher and lower than the melting point (melting temperature determined by DSC) before this heat treatment to erase the heat history of the support. The reheat treatment may be performed at a temperature of 40 ° C. or higher and lower than Tg. In the present invention, this heat treatment is referred to as "preheat treatment".
The heat treatment at 40 ° C. or higher and lower than Tg described in the preceding paragraph is called a “post heat treatment” to distinguish them. The pre-heat treatment temperature is Tg or higher and lower than the melting point, and more preferably Tg + 20 ° C. or higher and crystallization temperature (crystallization temperature determined by DSC) or lower.
When the pre-heat treatment is performed at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point, the elasticity of the support is remarkably reduced, which causes problems in surface condition and transportability.
The pre-heat treatment may be carried out within this temperature range at a constant temperature (constant temperature pre-heat treatment), may be carried out while lowering the temperature (pre-heat treatment before cooling), or may be carried out while raising the temperature (rise of temperature). Pre-heat treatment). Pre-heat treatment time is 0.1 minutes or more 1500
The time is less than or equal to the hour, more preferably 1 minute or more and less than 1 hour. If it is less than 0.1 minutes, a sufficient effect cannot be obtained,
When it is 1500 hours or more, the effect is saturated, while the support is likely to be colored or brittle. After this pre-heat treatment, a post-heat treatment is carried out, but it may be rapidly cooled from the pre-heat treatment end temperature to the post-heat treatment start temperature, or may be gradually cooled to the post-heat treatment start temperature across Tg. Alternatively, the temperature may be once cooled to room temperature and then raised to the post-heat treatment temperature. Although there are several combinations of these pre-heat treatment and post-heat treatment methods, after the constant temperature pre-heat treatment at Tg + 20 ° C. or higher and the crystallization temperature or lower, a cooling rate of −0.1 to Tg−20 ° C. A post-heat treatment is preferably performed while cooling at -5 ° C / hour.

The heat treatment of such a support may be carried out in the form of a roll or may be carried out while being conveyed in the form of a web. In the case of heat treatment in the form of a roll, it may be carried out by any of a method of heat-treating the roll from room temperature in a constant temperature bath, and a method of winding and heat-treating the roll in a constant temperature during web conveyance. Good. Although the method of (1) requires a long time for raising and lowering the temperature, it has an advantage of requiring less equipment investment. The method of (1) requires winding equipment at high temperature, but has an advantage that the heating time can be omitted. In the heat treatment in the roll form, the surface shrinkage such as wrinkles due to winding tightness and the cutout of the core portion is likely to occur due to the heat shrinkage stress generated during the heat treatment. For this reason, unevenness is imparted to the surface (for example, conductive inorganic fine particles such as SnO ₂ and Sb ₂ O ₅ are applied) to reduce creaking between the supports to prevent wrinkles due to winding tightening, and It is desirable to make a contrivance such as preventing the cut edge of the winding core from being exposed by giving a knurl to the end and slightly raising only the end. On the other hand, when the heat treatment is carried out in the form of a web, a long post-heat treatment step is required, but a better surface condition of the support can be obtained as compared with the heat treatment in the form of a roll. Among these heat treatment methods, it is preferable that the pre-heat treatment is performed in a web shape and the post-heat treatment is performed in a roll shape. This is because if the pre-heat treatment is carried out in the form of a web, planar defects are less likely to occur as compared with the case of performing it in the form of a roll, and the post-heat treatment requires a relatively long time.

These heat treatments are carried out after film formation on the support, after glow discharge treatment, and after coating the back layer (antistatic agent, slip agent, etc.),
It may be carried out at any stage after the application of the undercoat. Preferred is after the antistatic agent is applied. As a result, it is possible to prevent the attachment of dust due to electrification, which causes a surface failure of the support during heat treatment. Furthermore, in the method for heat-treating the polyester of the present invention, in order to shorten the time, it is preferable to preliminarily heat to Tg or more for a short time (preferably, perform Tg treatment at 20 ° C. or higher and 100 ° C. or lower for 5 minutes to 3 hours). . Further, the roll core used in the heat treatment is preferably one having a built-in electric heater or a structure capable of flowing a high-temperature liquid so that it can be hollow or heated for efficient temperature propagation to the film. The material of the roll winding core is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the material does not undergo strength reduction or deformation due to heat, and examples thereof include stainless steel and glass fiber-containing resin.

Next, in order to further enhance the function of the polyester of the present invention as a photographic support, it is preferable to coexist various additives. An ultraviolet absorber may be kneaded into these polyester films for the purpose of preventing fluorescence and imparting stability with time. It is desirable that the ultraviolet absorber has no absorption in the visible region, and the addition amount thereof is usually 0.01% by weight to 20% by weight, preferably 0.05% by weight based on the weight of the polyester film.
It is about 10% by weight to 10% by weight. If it is less than 0.01% by weight, the effect of suppressing deterioration of ultraviolet rays cannot be expected. 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone as an ultraviolet absorber,

Examples thereof include benzotriazole-based UV absorbers such as -di-t-butyl-5'-methylphenyl) benzotriazole and salicylic acid-based UV absorbers such as phenyl salicylate and methyl salicylate.

While the preferred aromatic polyester of the present invention has a high refractive index of 1.6 to 1.7, the main component of the photosensitive layer coated on it is gelatin having a refractive index of 1. The value is 50 to 1.55, which is smaller than this value. Therefore, when light enters from the film edge, it is easily reflected at the interface between the base and the emulsion layer. Therefore, the polyester film causes a so-called light piping phenomenon (fogging). As a method of avoiding such a light piping phenomenon, a method of incorporating inert inorganic particles and the like into a support, a method of adding a dye, and the like are known. A preferred method for preventing light piping in the present invention is a method by adding a dye that does not significantly increase film haze. At this time, the dye used for film dyeing is not particularly limited, but the color tone is preferably gray dyeing due to the general property of the light-sensitive material, and the dye is excellent in heat resistance in the film forming temperature range of the polyester film. Further, those having excellent compatibility with polyester are preferable. From the above viewpoints, as the dye, it is possible to achieve the object by mixing commercially available dyes for polyester such as Diaresin manufactured by Mitsubishi Kasei and Kayaset manufactured by Nippon Kayaku. Regarding the dyeing density, the color density in the visible light region was measured with a color densitometer manufactured by Macbeth Co., and at least 0.
It must be 01 or more. More preferably 0.
It is 03 or more.

The polyester film according to the present invention can be imparted with slipperiness depending on the application, and the slipperiness imparting means is not particularly limited.
A general method is kneading an inactive inorganic compound or coating a surfactant. Such inert inorganic particles include SiO ₂ , TiO ₂ , BaSO ₄ , CaC.
Examples are O ₃ , talc, kaolin and the like. Further, in addition to the slipperiness imparted by an external particle system in which inert particles are added to the polyester synthesis reaction system described above, a slipperiness imparting method by an internal particle system in which a catalyst or the like added during the polyester polymerization reaction is precipitated can also be adopted. Is. These slipperiness imparting means are not particularly limited, but transparency is an important requirement for the support for photographic light-sensitive materials. It is desirable to select SiO ₂ having a refractive index relatively close to that, or an internal particle system capable of relatively reducing the precipitated particle size. Further, in the case of imparting slipperiness by kneading, a method of laminating a layer imparted with a function in order to obtain more transparency of the film is also preferable. Specific examples of this means include a co-extrusion method using a plurality of extruders and feed blocks, or a multi-manifold die.

When any of these polyester films is used as a support, since these polyester supports all have a hydrophobic surface, a photographic layer (eg, a photosensitive halogen) containing a protective colloid mainly containing gelatin is formed on the support. It is very difficult to firmly bond the silver halide emulsion layer, the intermediate layer, the filter layer, etc.). The conventional techniques used to overcome such difficulties include (1) chemical treatment, mechanical treatment, corona discharge treatment, flame treatment, ultraviolet treatment, high frequency treatment, glow discharge treatment, active plasma treatment,
After surface activation treatment such as laser treatment, mixed acid treatment, ozone oxidation treatment, etc., a method of directly applying a photographic emulsion to obtain adhesive strength, and (2) after performing these surface treatments once,
Alternatively, there are two methods: a method of providing an undercoat layer without surface treatment and coating a photographic emulsion layer on the undercoat layer. (For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,698,241, 2,764,520, 2,864,755, 3,462,335, 3,475,193, 3,143,421. No. 3,501,301, No. 3,460,944, No. 3,674,531, British Patent No. 788,365,

-43122, 51-446, etc.).

In all of these surface treatments, some co-polar groups are formed on the surface of the support which is originally hydrophobic,
This is probably due to an increase in the cross-linking density of the surface.As a result, it is thought that the affinity of the components contained in the undercoating liquid with polar groups increases, or that the fastness of the adhesive surface increases. To be Furthermore, an adhesion mechanism due to generation of radicals is also considered. In addition, various ideas have been made for the constitution of the undercoat layer, and a layer that adheres well to the support (hereinafter referred to as the undercoat first layer) is provided as the first layer.
A resin containing both a hydrophobic group and a hydrophilic group, which is a so-called multi-layer method in which a hydrophilic resin layer that adheres well to the photographic layer as a second layer (hereinafter referred to as the second undercoat layer) is applied thereon. There is a single layer method in which only one layer is applied.

Among the surface treatments, ultraviolet irradiation treatment, flame treatment, corona treatment and glow treatment are preferable. First, the ultraviolet irradiation treatment will be described below. These are Japanese Examined Patent Publication Nos. 43-2603, 43-2604, and 4
It is preferably carried out by the treatment method described in No. 5-3828. The mercury lamp is a high-pressure mercury lamp composed of a quartz tube, and it is preferable that the wavelength of ultraviolet rays is between 180 and 320 nm. The UV irradiation may be performed in the stretching step of the support, at the time of heat setting, or after the heat setting. Regarding the method of ultraviolet irradiation, a high-pressure mercury lamp having a main wavelength of 365 nm can be used as the light source if there is no problem in the performance of the support that the surface temperature of the support rises to around 150 ° C. When low temperature treatment is required, a low pressure mercury lamp having a dominant wavelength of 254 nm is preferable. It is also possible to use an ozone-less type high pressure mercury lamp and a low pressure mercury lamp. Regarding the amount of treated light, as the amount of treated light increases, the adhesive force between the support and the layer to be adhered improves, but the support becomes colored as the amount of light increases,
In addition, the problem that the support becomes brittle occurs. Therefore,
For ordinary plastic films such as polyester and polyolefin, a high-pressure mercury lamp having a main wavelength of 365 nm is used, and the irradiation light amount is preferably ^{20 to} 10000 (mJ / cm ² ), more preferably 50 to 2000 (mJ / cm ² ). is there. 254nm

Further, as the flame treatment, natural gas, liquefied propane gas, etc. can be used, and the mixing ratio with air is important. A preferable gas / air mixing ratio is a volume ratio of 1/14 to 1/22 for propane, more preferably 1/16 to 1

In particular, it was found that the glow treatment is particularly effective as a surface treatment that simultaneously satisfies the required adhesion, yellowing suppression and blocking prevention for a polyester support having a Tg of 90 ° C. or higher and 200 ° C. or lower, which is preferable in the present invention. . There is a method of introducing various gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, helium or argon into the atmosphere of glow discharge treatment, but in the case of the polyester support of the present invention, even if a special gas is introduced, the effect of significantly adhering is achieved. Is not found, the price of gas is expensive, and it is not industrially suitable. On the other hand, when water vapor is introduced, it has an adhesion effect equal to or higher than that of the case of introducing a special gas, and the price is significantly low, which is an industrially excellent method.

The steam partial pressure of the present invention for performing glow discharge treatment in the presence of steam is preferably 10% or more and 100% or less, and more preferably 40% or more and 90% or less.
If it is less than 10%, it becomes difficult to obtain sufficient adhesiveness.
The gas other than water vapor is air composed of oxygen, nitrogen and the like.
The method of quantitatively introducing water vapor into the glow discharge treatment atmosphere is as follows. Can be achieved by quantifying. Further, when the film to be surface-treated is subjected to vacuum glow discharge treatment in a preheated state, the adhesiveness is improved in a shorter time than that at room temperature,
It has been found that yellowing can be significantly reduced. The preheating described here is different from the heat treatment for improving the rolling behavior described later. The preheating temperature is preferably 50 ° C. or higher and Tg or lower, more preferably 70 ° C. or higher and Tg or lower, and further preferably 90 ° C. or higher and Tg or lower. If it is preheated at a temperature of Tg or higher, the adhesion will be slightly deteriorated. Specific methods for raising the polymer surface temperature in vacuum include heating with an infrared heater and heating with contact with a hot roll.
For example, if you want to preheat the film surface to 115 ℃, 115
It is sufficient to contact the film with a hot roll at 0 ° C. for at most 1 second. The heating method is not limited to the above-mentioned method, and widely known heating methods can be used.

The preheated support is subjected to glow discharge treatment. Important processing conditions other than the steam partial pressure, the preheating temperature of the support, etc. are vacuum degree, inter-electrode voltage, discharge frequency, etc. Can be mentioned. By controlling these treatment conditions, it becomes possible to carry out glow discharge treatment that achieves both adhesion and suppression of yellowing. The pressure during glow discharge treatment is preferably 0.005 to 20 Torr.
It is more preferably 0.02 to 2 Torr. If the pressure is too low, the surface of the support cannot be sufficiently modified and sufficient adhesiveness cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the pressure is too high, stable discharge will not occur. The voltage is 500 to 500.
It is preferably between 0V. More preferably 500 to 3000
V. If the voltage is too low, the surface of the support cannot be sufficiently modified and sufficient adhesiveness cannot be obtained.
On the other hand, if the voltage is too high, the surface will be deteriorated, and conversely the adhesiveness will decrease. The discharge frequency to be used is from direct current to several 1000 MHz, preferably 50 Hz to 20 MHz, more preferably 1 KHz, as seen in the prior art.
~ 1 MHz. Discharge treatment intensity is 0.01 KV · A
· Min / m ² ～5KV · A · min / m ^2, more preferably a desired adhesive performance at 0.15KV-A · min / m ² ～1KV · A · min / m ^2.

It is preferable that the temperature of the support thus subjected to the glow discharge treatment is immediately lowered by using a cooling roll. The support is likely to be plastically deformed by an external force as the temperature rises, and the flatness of the support is impaired. Further, low-molecular weight substances (monomers, oligomers, etc.) may be deposited on the surface of the support, which may deteriorate transparency and blocking resistance. Next, regarding the undercoating method (2), all of these methods have been well researched. For example, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, butadiene, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, itaconic acid are used for the first undercoating layer in the multilayer method. , A lot of polymers such as polyethyleneimine, epoxy resin, grafted gelatin and nitrocellulose, including copolymers starting from a monomer selected from maleic anhydride, etc. Its properties have been investigated mainly for gelatin.

In addition to this, the undercoat liquid may contain various additives as required. For example, surfactants, antistatic agents, antihalation agents, coloring dyes, pigments, coating aids, antifoggants and the like. In the present invention, when the undercoat liquid for the first undercoat layer is used, it is not necessary to include an etching agent such as resorcin, chloral hydrate, chlorophenol, etc. in the undercoat liquid. However, if desired, an etching agent as described above may be contained in the base coat.

The processing solution having a bleaching ability of the present invention is particularly preferably subjected to aeration during processing because the photographic performance is kept extremely stable. Means known in the art can be used for the aeration, and blowing of air into the processing liquid having a bleaching ability or absorption of air using an ejector can be performed. At the time of blowing air, it is preferable to discharge the air into the liquid through an air diffusing tube having fine pores.

The matters described in the edition (1982), pages BL-1 to BL-2 can be used. In the processing using the processing solution having the bleaching ability of the present invention, it is preferable that the stirring is strengthened, and the implementation thereof is described in JP-A-3-33847, No. 8
The contents of the page, upper right column, line 6 to lower left column, line 2
It can be used as is.

In the desilvering process, it is preferable that the stirring is strengthened as much as possible. Specific examples of the method for strengthening stirring include a method in which a jet of a processing solution is made to collide with the emulsion surface of a light-sensitive material described in JP-A-62-183460, and JP-A-62-1834.
A method of increasing the stirring effect using the rotating means of No. 61, and further moving the light-sensitive material while bringing the emulsion surface into contact with the wiper blade provided in the liquid to make the emulsion surface turbulent, thereby further improving the stirring effect. Examples thereof include a method for improving the method and a method for increasing the circulation flow rate of the entire processing solution. Such a stirring improving means is effective for any of the bleaching solution, the bleach-fixing solution and the fixing solution. It is considered that the improvement of the stirring speeds up the supply of the bleaching agent and the fixing agent into the emulsion film, and consequently the desilvering rate. Further, the above-mentioned means for improving the stirring is more effective when a bleaching accelerator is used, and can significantly increase the accelerating effect or eliminate the fixing inhibiting effect of the bleaching accelerator.

Automatic developing machines used in the light-sensitive material of the present invention are disclosed in JP-A-60-191257, JP-A-60-191258, and JP-A-60-1912.
It is preferable to have a photosensitive material conveying means described in No. 59. As described in the above-mentioned JP-A-60-191257, such a conveying means can remarkably 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 an effect is particularly effective for reducing the processing time in each step and reducing the replenishing amount of the processing solution.

The light-sensitive material of the present invention is generally washed with water and / or stabilized after the desilvering process. 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. Of these, the relationship between the number of washing tanks and the water volume in the multi-stage countercurrent system is described in the Journal of the
Society of Motion Pictureand Television Engineers
It can be determined by the method described in 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, the method of reducing calcium ion and magnesium ion described in JP-A-62-288838 can be used very effectively as a solution to such a problem.
