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 capable of obtaining a stable finish with a small fluctuation in performance due to a change in humidity during exposure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "light-sensitive materials"), particularly color light-sensitive materials, have high sensitivity, excellent gradation and sharpness.
It is used very often today.

However, the development processing of the color photographic material is a so-called wet processing, which requires a lot of trouble in preparation of a processing solution, becomes dirty, generates a waste liquid containing various chemicals, requires a dark room, and requires a dark room. There are drawbacks such as a long time until the first print is obtained.

In order to compensate for these disadvantages and take advantage of the above-mentioned advantages of the color photographic material, skilled engineers have concentrated on developing color negative films to producing color prints only in a few large developing laboratories. The scheme has been adopted.

However, recently, although the essence of wet processing has not changed, improvements in printers, automatic developing machines and other equipment, improvements in developing solutions, improvements in color photographic materials and their packaging have been accumulated, and photo shops have been accumulating. A so-called minilab, which can consistently perform from development of a color negative film to production of a color print in a small space such as at a store, is rapidly spreading. However, there are high demands for further shortening the development processing time and for high robustness against environmental conditions.

[0006] In recent years, the development processing time has been remarkably reduced by employing a silver halide emulsion containing silver chloride at a high concentration. However, the resistance to variations due to development processing conditions and environmental conditions during exposure is not sufficient. In particular, variation due to humidity conditions during exposure is one of the serious problems. This problem is particularly problematic at 400 to 650 nm.
It was also found to be remarkable when an emulsion spectrally sensitized was used. For example, when a specific sensitizing dye is contained so as to have a spectral sensitivity of 650 nm or more, even if a silver halide emulsion containing a high concentration of silver chloride is used, the above-described conditions of the humidity at the time of exposure may be used. There was no problem with different finishes.

[0007] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-368935 discloses a technique for improving the sensitivity fluctuation due to a humidity change at the time of exposure by incorporating an adsorption-reducing compound. However, since this technique tends to lower the sensitivity of the photosensitive material, there has been a long-felt need for a technique for improving sensitivity fluctuation due to humidity change during exposure while maintaining the sensitivity.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-134351 discloses a technique for increasing the sensitivity and improving the storage stability by incorporating a hydrazine compound having an adsorptive group. No mention is made of fluctuations.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a high sensitivity and small performance fluctuation due to a humidity change at the time of exposure.
An object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide photographic material capable of obtaining a stable finish.
