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, and more particularly, to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having an appropriate hardening reaction, no secondary hardening property, and excellent photographic performance and storage stability over time. It relates to the dura method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As long as silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials (hereinafter also simply referred to as "light-sensitive materials") have a silver-gelatin basic composition, gelatin hardening technology is very important. At present, with the spread of rapid processing, higher physical properties during processing are increasingly demanded.

Hitherto, a number of compounds have been reported as hardeners for photographic gelatin, but each has an advantage and a disadvantage, and for example, has the advantages of being fast-acting and having no secondary hardening property. On the other hand, in a sufficient amount, the compound has a detrimental effect such as deteriorating the storage stability of the photosensitive material with time and the residual color contamination, or is inert to photographic performance and is easy to use with no fluctuation in viscosity over time. However, the hardening reaction has progressed even after the product has been manufactured and placed in the user's place, and there are not a few hardeners that have a drawback that causes fluctuation in photographic performance.

In the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for printing, for example, a hydrazine compound or a tetrazolium compound is used as a super-high contrast agent. However, since the material has insufficient solubility in water, an organic solvent is used. However, there is a problem that sufficient film physical properties cannot be obtained because the film is dissolved or added as a solid.

[0005] Further, with recent speeding up, abrasion of the film is liable to occur due to contact with rollers and guides of an automatic developing machine, which has become a serious problem.

Therefore, a new hardening technique which does not hinder ultra-high contrast photographic performance as a photosensitive material for printing and has improved film properties, storage stability with time, and residual color contamination has been desired.

[0007] Since the relative humidity inside the packaging material after packaging the photosensitive material is greatly related to the hardening property of the photosensitive material, its improvement has also been demanded.

[0008]

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a hardening agent which has no secondary hardening property, does not hinder photographic performance even when stored under high humidity, and has no residual color contamination. To provide a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an ultra-high contrast silver halide photographic material for printing plate making having the above-mentioned performance.
