2. Description of the Related Art The following are known examples close to the present invention. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 51-6025 discloses a method of pouring the entire amount of the overflow liquid of the first processing machine having a large processing amount among the plurality of processing machines to the second processing machine having a small processing amount. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 51-83528 discloses a large amount of first processing.
It is disclosed that the discarded liquid (overflow liquid) of the processing machine is stored in a replenisher tank and supplied to the second processing machine having a small processing amount. Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 2-47733 circulates a processing solution between a first processing machine and a second processing machine for photosensitive materials of different types, such as circulating a processing solution between a film developing machine and a printing developing machine. Is disclosed.

In a conventional large-scale developing laboratory, a color negative film is processed, a color photographic paper is exposed from the processed color negative film, and as a system for processing the exposed color photographic paper, print specifications (screen size, For each print size and print surface quality, etc., a film developing machine that processes a color negative film, a printing machine that exposes color photographic paper from the color negative film processed by this film developing machine, and an exposure using this printing machine A developing machine for printing that processes the selected color photographic paper is installed, and after the undeveloped film is sorted according to the print specifications, the sorted film is flowed from the film developing machine of the corresponding specifications to the printing machine, and the printing machine is exposed. I was getting a print. However, in this case, it is necessary to provide a developing machine for film, a printing machine, and a developing machine for printing, regardless of whether it is a specification for performing a large amount of processing or a specification for performing only a small amount of processing. It is necessary to sort the undeveloped film according to the print specifications, which requires a great deal of labor.

[0004]

Therefore, the printing machine (printing machine and the developing machine for printing are integrated, and the color negative film is set in any one of the developing machines for film, and the printing specifications (screen size of developed color negative film, user Depending on the desired print size and print surface quality, etc.), from any of the film developing machines, a system equipped with a conveying means for conveying the developed color negative film to a printing machine that performs exposure of the corresponding print specifications is provided. Thought.

However, there have been numerous problems in completing this system. One of them is that the color negative film processed by any film developing machine may be supplied to all printing machines and print developing machines. The combination of is not decided. Therefore, the exposure conditions for correcting the difference in these processing conditions are set for all the combinations of the film developing machine and the print developing machine.
It is generally considered that exposure is performed under the exposure conditions that match the combination of the film developing machine and the print developing machine, but it is a tremendous amount of work to calculate the exposure conditions for all combinations. However, it is difficult to completely correct the difference in the processing conditions only by changing the exposure conditions.

Therefore, in order to obtain prints of the same quality, the processing conditions such as the processing solution temperature and the developing solution component are the same in all the film developing machines, and the processing solution temperature and the processing solution are the same in all the printing machines. It has been found that it is desirable that the processing conditions such as processing liquid components are the same. However, it has proved difficult to achieve this with conventional techniques.

That is, in the past, the management of the processing liquid of the developing machine was usually performed for each developing machine. However, in this case, the processing liquid component is different for each developing machine, and the print quality is improved. The difference in the temperature of the processing solution that affects it is very small (for example, the difference in the print quality is ± 0.3 ° C for a color developer, which is a clear difference in print quality). The treatment liquid temperature will also be slightly different. In particular, a machine with a large amount of processing and a machine with a small amount of processing,
The difference in the renewal speed of the processing liquid, the difference in the effect of evaporation, and the difference in the effect of air oxidation are large, and the difference in the components of the processing liquid tends to be large.

Therefore, the method of supplying the overflow liquid of the first processing machine to the second processing machine having a small processing amount as in the inventions described in JP-A-51-6025 and JP-A-51-83528 is diverted. However, due to the recent trend of low replenishment, the amount of overflow liquid is extremely small compared to the processing liquid of the second processing machine, and it almost contributes to uniformization of processing liquid components and uniformization of processing liquid temperature. It cannot be done.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and a plurality of photographic light-sensitive material developing machines for processing silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials for photographic use, and photographic processing processed by the photographic light-sensitive material developing machines. A printing machine that exposes a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing from a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing, and a plurality of printing light-sensitive material developing machines for processing the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing exposed by the printing machine In the processing system for silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials having, the object of the present invention is to make the processing liquid components and the temperature of the processing liquid uniform in two or more developing machines.

Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to obtain a print of uniform quality more easily than ever before. Then, it is an object of the present invention to eliminate the work of sorting the undeveloped film according to the print specifications (screen size, print size desired by the user, print surface quality, etc.).

The invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-47733 improves the utilization efficiency of the processing solution by processing different kinds of photosensitive materials with the same processing solution, and also the processing solution of a processing machine having a small processing amount. To increase the stability of
This is different from making the processing solution components and temperatures of the processing solution of the developing machine for the same type of photosensitive material uniform. Further, there are many other techniques for increasing the stability of the treatment liquid in a treatment machine having a small treatment amount, such as forcibly replenishing the treatment liquid component and replenishing water when the treatment amount is small.

Easy to do and preferred. The amount of the processing liquid circulated between the photothermographic material developing machines is preferably 0.5 times / minute or more (particularly 1 time / minute or more) from the viewpoint of the effect of the present invention. Note that the number of times / minute indicates the number of times the processing liquid circulates per minute, and is a numerical value obtained by dividing the amount of processing liquid circulated per minute by the total amount of processing liquid.

The replenishment of the treatment liquid is generally performed by a concentrated replenisher and diluting water, but is not limited to this. A method using a solid treatment agent and diluting water or a replenisher having the same components as the mother liquor of the treatment liquid is used in large quantities. In the present invention, a method using a solid processing agent and diluting water is preferable. Because, in the present invention, the mother liquor has a large amount, so that the fluctuation of the components of the processing liquid and the fluctuation of the temperature of the processing liquid due to one-time supply of the solid processing agent are small, and the circulation speed between the developing machines of the present invention is small. Since the solid processing agent has a low dissolution rate, it is possible to effectively prevent the component concentration of the processing solution from being different between the developing machines at the time of replenishment.

The replenishment amount of the developing processing solution is the total amount of the solution supplied to the processing solution per 1 m ² of the processed silver halide photographic light-sensitive material excluding the supply of the replenishing water by evaporation.

When the replenishment is low at cc or less (especially 650 cc or less), the fluctuation of the components of the processing liquid tends to be particularly severe,
Nevertheless, according to the present invention, since the processing liquid is circulated between the two or more developing machines, the components of the processing liquid can be easily made uniform between the two or more developing machines. Further, in the case of a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing, the replenishment amount of the color development processing solution is 150 cc or less (particularly 100 cc or less) per 1 m ^{2 of the} silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing. It is preferable from the viewpoint. Further, it is preferably 30 cc or more (particularly 40 cc or more) per 1 m ^{2 of the} silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing, from the viewpoint of maintaining the development activity. The replenishing amount of the developing solution is 150 cc or less per 1 m ^{2 of the} silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing (especially 10

The method of draining the waste liquid from the drain port provided at the predetermined height position of the processing tank is preferable because it has a simple structure.

Alternatively, the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing which has been exposed by the transport mechanism may be automatically transported between them.

When each of the printing machines is exposed to a specific print specification on the print information, the specific print specifications on the print information (for the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for photography) are set when performing continuous exposure. Since it is not necessary to switch the image size, print size of print, surface quality of print, etc., the productivity of the printing machine can be maintained high.

As the print information input means for inputting print information for each silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for photography, a print information is input by key input for each silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for photography based on an order slip. Alternatively, it may be one that photoelectrically reads an order slip in a photoelectrically readable format and automatically inputs print information, or may be another one.

Depending on the print information for each silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for photography, development is performed from any of a plurality of photographic light-sensitive material developing machines to a printing machine that performs exposure of a specific print specification on the corresponding print information. As a conveying means for conveying the taken silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, the centralized control device stores print information for each silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for photography, and the stored print information is stored by the timing control. Based on this, even if the centralized control device controls the transportation of the transporting means, the centralized control device records the ID information magnetically or optically with a sticker on each silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for photographing. Stores the correspondence between the ID information and the print information, the transport means reads the recorded ID information, reads the print information from the ID information, and reads it. Based on the print information, even those that carry photographic silver halide photosensitive material compatible baking machine may be of the other.
