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 photographic light-sensitive material (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a light-sensitive material or a light-sensitive material). The present invention relates to a method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material which is excellent, has little scratches, and has a small amount of waste liquid.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A photosensitive material is usually subjected to development processing by an automatic developing machine (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as an automatic developing machine) as a photosensitive material processing apparatus. In these automatic developing machines, in the processing with the stabilizing solution or water washing, the stabilizing or washing process is divided into a plurality of processing tanks in order to reduce the amount of waste liquid or wastewater from the viewpoint of global environmental protection and economical viewpoint. A multi-stage counter-current system (also known as a counter current system) that supplies or replenishes the last processing tank in the transport direction of the photosensitive material, supplies it to the immediately preceding tank, and discharges it from the front tank of the processing step. Have been known and have been put to practical use. As a result, it has become possible to greatly reduce the amount of a stabilizing solution or washing water used for the development of the photosensitive material.

However, in this method, a plurality of processing tanks need to be provided and arranged in series, so that there is a problem that the size of the automatic developing machine becomes large. With the rise of small processing laboratories that process in stores called minilabs in recent years,
The need for miniaturization of automatic developing machines has increased, and in order to solve this problem, a plurality of rollers having a processing liquid holding function described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-68787 are arranged vertically to form a photosensitive material. (Hereinafter also referred to as a multi-roller process for simplicity) has been disclosed. However, it has been found that this method has some problems in practical use. When the automatic developing machine having the multi-roller processing is stopped for several days during New Year holidays or Bon holidays, the roller part dries, whereby the photosensitive material at the start of processing cannot be sufficiently processed,
There is a problem that image storability is affected or scratches occur. Further, when a drying process is used in a process subsequent to the multi-roller process, dry air or high heat flows into the multi-roller processing unit near the drying process, the roller unit near the drying unit dries, and the above-described process is performed at the start of each morning. It has been found that a similar problem occurs.

[0004] In particular, these problems occur when rapid processing is performed or when development processing is performed for a long period of time in which the processing amount is small and the processing amount of the photosensitive material varies from day to day. It became remarkable, and it was found that the processed photosensitive material was at a level where commercial value was not obtained.

[0005] In view of the above, the inventors conducted various studies,
It has been found that the above problem can be solved by devising the photosensitive material and performing multi-roller processing. Further, it has been found that by performing this processing method, there is also an effect that the occurrence of yellow stain, which is likely to occur during rapid processing and when stored at a high temperature, is reduced.
