JPH1048787A - Silver halide color photographic sensitive material - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the interchangeability of rapid processing and normal processing by incorporating a specified compound, that is, a development accelerator releasing agent exhibiting a relatively storing effect in the rapid processing. SOLUTION: This silver halide color photographic sensitive material contains the compound represented by the formula in which A is a coupler residue or an oxidation-reduction group or a blocking group; L is a timing group; (n) is 1 or 2; each of R1 and R2 is optionally substituted alkyl group; R3 is a substituent; and (m) is an integer of 0-4. This color photosensitive material is processed by a color developing solution containing a color developing agent in an amount of 27-50mmol/l at a temperature of 40-55 deg.C in a pH of 10.1-10.5 in a color developing time of 35-75sec to form a color image.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, development processing has been accelerated. However, when a user requests simultaneous printing of color negative photosensitive materials, it takes about 30 minutes even for over-the-counter processing using a minilab. Is currently forced to visit the photo shop twice, and in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to greatly reduce the development processing time.
On the other hand, at present, Kodak C-41 processing and its compatible processing are spread worldwide, and in order to spread photosensitive materials and processing whose development processing time has been greatly reduced,
The photosensitive material has compatibility between the rapid processing and the C-41 processing, that is, the same sensitivity and gradation when the normal processing (C-41 processing and its compatible processing) and the rapid processing are performed. It is required to give.

As one method for achieving this compatibility, a compound capable of releasing a development accelerator is incorporated in a photosensitive material capable of rapid processing to enhance the developability in rapid processing.
It is conceivable to reduce the difference in developability from normal processing. US Pat. No. 4,859,57 discloses a technique for releasing a compound having the property of accelerating development during development processing.

The compound of the present invention may be contained in any layer of the silver halide color light-sensitive material irrespective of the light-sensitive layer or the non-light-sensitive layer, and may be contained in a single layer or in a plurality of layers. May be. Only one compound of the present invention may be used, or two or more compounds may be used, or two or more compounds may be contained in separate layers.

The light-sensitive material of the present invention may have at least one light-sensitive layer provided on a support. A typical example is a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having at least one light-sensitive layer comprising a plurality of silver halide emulsion layers having substantially the same color sensitivity but different sensitivities on a support. It is. The photosensitive layer is a unit photosensitive layer having color sensitivity to any of blue light, green light, and red light, and in a multilayer silver halide color photographic material, the arrangement of the unit photosensitive layers is generally A red-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer, and a blue-sensitive layer are provided in this order from the support side. However, depending on the purpose, the order of installation may be reversed, or the order of installation may be such that different photosensitive layers are sandwiched between layers of the same color sensitivity. A non-light-sensitive layer may be provided between the silver halide light-sensitive layers and as the uppermost layer and the lowermost layer. These may contain a coupler, a DIR compound, a color mixing inhibitor and the like described below. As described in DE 1,121,470 or GB 923,045, a plurality of silver halide emulsion layers constituting each unit light-sensitive layer are formed by sequentially exposing two layers of a high-speed emulsion layer and a low-speed emulsion layer toward a support. It is preferable to arrange them so that the degree is low. Also, JP-A-57-112751, 62-200350, 62-2
As described in JP-A Nos. 06541 and 62-206543, a low-speed emulsion layer may be provided on the side farther from the support, and a high-speed emulsion layer may be provided on the side closer to the support. As specific examples, from the farthest side from the support, a low-sensitivity blue-sensitive layer (BL) / a high-sensitivity blue-sensitive layer (BH) / a high-sensitivity green-sensitive layer (GH) / a low-sensitivity green-sensitive layer (GL) / High-sensitivity red-sensitive layer (RH) / low-sensitivity red-sensitive layer (RL), or BH / BL / GL / GH / RH / RL, or BH / BL / GH / GL / RL / RH And so on. Also, as described in JP-B-55-34932, the blue-sensitive layer / GH / RH / GL starts from the side farthest from the support.
/ RL can be arranged in this order. JP-A-56-2573
8, as described in JP-A-62-63936, the layers may be arranged in the order of blue-sensitive layer / GL / RL / GH / RH from the side farthest from the support. Also, as described in JP-B-49-15495, the upper layer is the most sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, the middle layer is the silver halide emulsion layer of lower sensitivity, and the lower layer is more sensitive than the middle layer. An example is an arrangement in which a low silver halide emulsion layer is arranged and three layers of different sensitivities are sequentially reduced in sensitivity toward a support. Even when such three layers having different sensitivities are used, as described in JP-A-59-202464, the medium-sensitive emulsion layer / high The layers may be arranged in the order of a light-sensitive emulsion layer / a light-sensitive emulsion layer. In addition, a high-speed emulsion layer / low-speed emulsion layer / medium-speed emulsion layer, or a low-speed emulsion layer / medium-speed emulsion layer / high-speed emulsion layer may be arranged in this order. The arrangement may be changed as described above even in the case of four or more layers. In order to improve color reproducibility, BL, GL, described in US 4,663,271, 4,705,744, 4,707,436, JP-A-62-160448 and 63-89850, are described.

The crystal structure may be uniform, the inside and the outside may be composed of different halogen compositions, or may have a layered structure. Silver halides having different compositions may be joined by epitaxial joining, or may be joined to a compound other than silver halide, such as, for example, silver rhodanate or lead oxide. Also, a mixture of particles of various crystal forms may be used. The above emulsion is a surface latent image type in which a latent image is mainly formed on the surface,
Either an internal latent image type formed inside the grains or a type having a latent image on both the surface and the inside may be used, but a negative emulsion is required. Of the internal latent image type,

Its preparation is described in US Pat. No. 4,626,498, JP-A-59-214852. The silver halide forming the internal nucleus of the core / shell type silver halide grain having the inside of the grain fogged may have a different halogen composition.
