Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for processing a silver halide color photographic material, and more specifically, a silver halide color photographic material that enables rapid processing and has improved processing stability in the rapid processing. Concerning methods of processing materials. [Background of the Invention] In recent years, there has been a desire in the art for a technology that enables rapid processing of silver halide color photographic materials, and that also provides excellent processing stability and stable photographic properties.
In particular, a method for developing silver halide color photographic materials that can be rapidly processed is desired. In other words, silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials are subjected to running processing in automatic processing machines installed in each laboratory, but as part of an effort to improve service to users, processing is carried out on the same day that processing is received. There is a need to process and return the item to the user, and recently there has been a demand for the item to be returned within a few hours of receiving it, and there is an urgent need to develop technology that can process the item more quickly. Looking at the conventional technologies for rapid processing of silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials, there are [1] technologies based on improvements in silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials, [2] technologies using physical means during development processing, and [31 technology for development processing]. Techniques based on improving the composition of the processing liquid used; Regarding [1] above, there are two main techniques: 1) Use of additives (for example, JP-A-56-6
The technique of adding 1-aryl-3-pyrazolidone having a specific structure as described in No. 4339 to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, and the technique of adding 1-aryl-3-pyrazolidone having a specific structure as described in JP-A-57-144547 and JP-A-57-144547;
No. 8-50534, No. 58-50535, No. 58-5
Technology of adding 1-arylpyrazolidones as described in No. 0536 into a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material),
■Technology using fast-reactive couplers (e.g.,
No. 10783, JP-A-50-123342, JP-A No. 51-
102636@), (2) technology for thinning photographic constituent layers (e.g., technology for thinning photographic constituent layers described in Japanese Patent Application No. 60-204992), etc.; Regarding [3] above, there are techniques for stirring the processing liquid (for example, the stirring technique for the processing liquid described in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-23334), etc.; 2. Techniques for increasing the concentration of color developing agents; 2. Techniques for reducing the concentration of halogen ions, especially bromide ions, etc. are known. Processing of light-sensitive materials basically consists of two steps: color development and desilvering, and desilvering consists of bleaching and fixing steps or bleach-fixing steps. In addition to this, additional processing steps such as rinsing treatment, stabilization treatment, washing with water or stabilization treatment as an alternative to washing with water, etc. are added. That is, in color development, the exposed silver halide is reduced to silver, and at the same time, the oxidized aromatic primary amine developing agent reacts with the coupler to form a dye. During this process, halogen ions generated by reduction of silver halide are eluted into the developer and accumulated. Additionally, components such as inhibitors contained in the light-sensitive material are also eluted into the color developing solution and accumulated. In the desilvering step, silver produced during development is bleached with an oxidizing agent, and then all silver salts are removed from the photosensitive material as soluble silver salts with a fixing agent. In addition,
A one-bath bleach-fixing method is also known in which the bleaching step and the fixing step are performed simultaneously. Among the rapid processing techniques described in [1] above, techniques using silver halide photosensitive materials containing silver halide grains made of highly concentrated silver chloride (e.g., JP-A-58-95345, JP-A-Sho 60- No. 19140, JP-A No. 58-95736, etc.) provides particularly excellent speed-up performance. However, when such a light-sensitive material containing high silver chloride is used, a physical development reaction occurs due to the sulfite normally contained in the color developing solution, which has the disadvantage that the dye density becomes insufficient. For this reason,
Photographic materials containing high silver chloride are destined to be used in a concentration range where sulfite is extremely low. However, if a photosensitive material containing high silver chloride is developed using a color developing solution with a low sulfite concentration, sufficient speed can be obtained, but if the bleach-fixing process is subsequently performed, the preservatives in the color developing solution It has been found that due to the low concentration of certain sulfites, the main coloring agent is oxidized, which tends to cause so-called bleaching edge blur. In particular, due to recent demands for low pollution and cost reduction, there is a trend toward low replenishment or high regeneration rates of bleach-fix solutions, and the amount of color developing solution accumulated in bleach-fix solutions is increasing. In other words, when reducing the replenishment rate or increasing the regeneration rate of the bleach-fix solution, the effects of evaporation and regeneration operations, or differences in the throughput of photographic light-sensitive materials (for example, the difference between the beginning of the week when the number of orders is high and the weekend when the number of orders is low) may be affected. The amount of color developer and solution in the bleach-fix solution increases due to the difference in processing amount or the difference in processing amount between high season and off season, etc.). Under such circumstances, the photographic properties deteriorate significantly, such as bleaching edge blur becoming even larger, and conventionally known techniques (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-136031, British Patent No. 1,131,335, and U.S. Patent No. 1,131,335) 3rd, 2nd
93,036, etc.), the reality is that it is becoming impossible to compensate for this problem. Another problem is that high-silver chloride-containing photosensitive materials, which are extremely effective speed-up technologies, are susceptible to problems with heavy metal ions (e.g. ferric ions, copper ions) mixed into the color developing solution over time. It was found that the occurrence of staining became more pronounced during bleach-fixing processing. Particularly in recent years, there has been a trend toward low replenishment of color developing solutions due to demands for lower pollution and lower costs. Along with this, the amount of heavy metal ions accumulated in the color developer tends to increase, and the situation is becoming increasingly severe for photosensitive materials containing high silver chloride. [Object of the Invention] Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material which uses high chloride silver halide, provides rapid developability, and has improved fogging in a bleach-fix solution. The purpose is to provide a processing method. A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material in which fog is less likely to occur even when a bleach-fix solution is refilled at low levels. A third object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing silver halide color photographic materials with improved processing stability. A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing silver halide color photographic materials in which the occurrence of fog in a bleach-fix solution is improved even when heavy metal ions are mixed into the color developer. [Structure of the Invention] As a result of various studies, the present inventors have found that the object of the present invention is to perform at least a color development step after imagewise exposure of a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having at least one silver halide emulsion layer. And, in the method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, which includes a bleach-fixing step following the color development step, the silver halide emulsion layer contains silver halide grains consisting of 80 mol% or more of silver chloride. The color developing solution used in the color development step contains at least one compound selected from a compound represented by the following general formula [I] and a compound represented by the general formula [1rl]. The bleach-fix solution used in the bleach-fix step has a halogen content and has a sulfite concentration of 4X 10' mol or less per 1ffi of color developer, and the bleach-fix solution used in the bleach-fix step has a pH in the range of 4.5 to 6.8. We have discovered that this can be achieved by a method for processing silver oxide color photographic materials, and have come up with the present invention. General formula [I] General formula []I] (wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a sulfonic acid group, an alkyl group having 1 to 7 carbon atoms, -0Rs, Also, Rs, Rs
, R7 and R8 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms. However, R2 is -01
-1 or a hydrogen atom, R1 represents a halogen atom, a sulfonic acid group, an alkyl group having 1 to 7 carbon atoms, or a phenyl group. ) [Specific Structure of the Invention] In the method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention, in order to enable rapid development processing, the silver halide emulsion layer contains a halide containing 80 mol% or more of silver chloride. Contains silver particles. In the present invention, the concentration of sulfite used as a preservative is 4 x 10 - per 12 of the color developing solution to prevent a decrease in dye density due to the silver development reaction, which is likely to occur when using such photosensitive materials containing high silver chloride. This was prevented by setting the amount to 3 moles or less. Furthermore, the present invention solves one of the problems caused by using photosensitive materials containing high silver chloride, namely, the occurrence of staining during bleach-fixing processing that occurs when heavy metal ions are mixed into the color developing solution and over time. , the above general formula [■
] and rI[ ]. Furthermore, in the present invention, the occurrence of staining in the bleach-fix solution is suppressed by adjusting the pH of the bleach-fix solution to 4.5 to 6.
This was prevented by setting the range to 8. The present invention will be explained in more detail below. It is known that when the compound represented by the general formula [I] or [I[] according to the present invention is added to a color developing solution, decomposition of hydroxylamine by heavy metal ions can be prevented (for example, Kaisho 56-47038,
JP-A-459-160141, JP-A-59-160
No. 142, U.S. Patent No. 3.746.544, Research Disclosure No. 18,843 (December 1979)
month) etc.). However, even when processing high-silver chloride-containing photographic materials with color developing solutions with extremely low sulfite concentrations,
It is surprising that by using the compound represented by the general formula [I] or [I], it is possible to prevent the destabilization of the color developing agent caused by the contamination of heavy metal ions, that is, the bleaching edge blur caused by the oxidation of the developing agent. . The color developer used in the present invention has a sulfite concentration of 4 x 10''3 mol or less, preferably 2 x 10-3 to 0 mol per 111 of the color developer. As one of the constants, sulfite is added per 1 part of the color developing solution, usually 8x10-3~4x
However, when the conventional system is applied to the present invention, the color density decreases, which is thought to be caused by the dissolution of silver chloride. Therefore, the present invention solves the above problem by lowering the sulfite concentration to a specific IN and further using a bleach-fix solution having a specific pH as described above in combination. Examples of the sulfite used in the present invention include sodium nitrite, sodium bicarbonate, sodium binitite]ii1[11],
Examples include potassium bisulfite.

In addition, since poorly soluble organic solvents have poor solubility in water, not only is it troublesome to prepare the color developing solution itself, such as requiring a stirring device, but even the use of such a stirring device can reduce its dissolution rate.

It is 5 to 2.0 moles. In the present invention, DIR compounds are preferably used in addition to the above-mentioned diffusion-resistant couplers.

It also includes IR compounds. The DIR compound base contained in the light-sensitive material is preferably used in a range of 1 x 10''4 mol to 10 x 10''' mol per 1 mol of silver. The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material used in the present invention may contain various other photographic additives. For example, antifoggants, stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, color stain inhibitors, optical brighteners, color image fading inhibitors, antistatic agents, hardeners, and surfactants described in Research Disclosure No. 17643. , a plasticizer, a wetting agent, etc. can be used. In the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material used in the present invention, the crude aqueous colloid used to mill the emulsion includes gelatin, derivative gelatin, graft polymers of gelatin and other polymers, and proteins such as albumin and casein. , cellulose derivatives such as hydroxyethyl cellulose derivatives and carboxymethyl cellulose, starch derivatives, single or copolymer synthetic hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylimidazole, and polyacrylamide. Examples of the support for the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material used in the present invention include baryta paper, polyethylene-coated paper, polypropylene synthetic paper, a transparent support provided with a reflective layer or a reflective material, such as a glass plate, Examples include cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, polyester films such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide films, polycarbonate films, polystyrene films, and other common transparent supports. These supports are appropriately selected depending on the intended use of the photosensitive material. For coating the silver halide emulsion layer and other photographic constituent layers used in the present invention, various coating methods can be used, including dipping coating, air doctor coating, curtain coating, and hopper coating. Also, U.S. Patent No. 2,761
, No. 791, and No. 2,941,898 can also be used. In the present invention, the coating position of each emulsion layer can be determined arbitrarily. For example, in the case of a full-color photosensitive material for photographic paper, it is preferable to sequentially arrange a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer from the support side. . Each of these photosensitive silver halide emulsion layers may consist of two or more layers. In the photosensitive material of the present invention, it is optional to provide an intermediate layer with an appropriate thickness depending on the purpose, and a filter layer,
Various layers such as an anti-curl layer, a protective layer, and an antihalation layer can be used in appropriate combinations as constituent layers. Hydrophilic colloids that can be used in the emulsion layers as described above can be similarly used as binders in these constituent layers, and can also be contained in the emulsion layers as described above. Various photographic additives can be included. In the method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention, if the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is a light-sensitive material that is processed by a so-called internal development method containing a coupler in the light-sensitive material, a color vapor is used. It can be applied to any silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material such as color negative film, color positive film, color reversal film for slides, color reversal film for movies, color reversal film for TV, and reversal color paper. [Specific Effects of the Invention] As explained in detail above, in the method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention, silver halide grains containing 80 mol% or more of silver chloride are added to the silver halide emulsion layer. Because it is contained, rapid development processing becomes possible. Further, in the processing method of the present invention, since the concentration of sulfite as a preservative was set to 4×10 −3 mol or less per 12 parts of the color developing solution, no decrease in dye concentration due to the silver development reaction occurred. Further, in the present invention, since the pH of the bleach-fix solution used in the bleach-fix step is set in the range of 4.5 to 6.8, the occurrence of bleach blade blur, that is, staining in the bleach-fix solution, is prevented. Moreover, in the present invention, the color developing solution has the general formula [
Since the compound represented by [I] and/or [II] was contained, the occurrence of bleaching blade blur, that is, staining in the bleach-fix solution, was prevented. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereby.

However, Fθ'' (31) DI) and Cu2+ (1 leaf I) were added to the color developer, and the color developer was mixed at 250% in the bleach-fix solution for 3 days.
After storage at 5°C, development was performed. Using a Sakura photodensitometer PDA-65 (Konishi Roku Photo Industries [J), the sample after the development process was used to detect magenta of 1 degree in unexposed areas where the coupling speed is fast and fogging is a problem, and color development density is low due to the slow development speed. The yellow density at the highest density area, where it is difficult to see, was measured. The results are summarized in Table 1. As is clear from Table 1, the sulfite concentration in the color developing solution is in the range of 4 X 10-3 morph2 or less, and the compound of the present invention (chelate agent), and the pH of the bleach-fix solution is
When it is in the range of 4.5 to 6.8, the color development time is 4.
It can be seen that a sufficient yellow dye density can be obtained despite the extremely short time of 5 seconds, and that there is little magentastin in unexposed areas. However, the concentration of sulfite in the color developer or the general formula [I] or [
In addition, if the I)H of the bleach-fix solution is outside the scope of the present invention, problems such as insufficient yellow dye concentration or too much magentastin may occur, resulting in commercial problems. It reduces the value. Further, when the color developing solution was observed after storage, tar was generated when the compound of the present invention was not added. [Example 2] Color developing agent (A-1) in the color developer used in Example 1
) was changed to (B-1) or (B-2) below and a similar experiment was conducted, and the magentastin in the unexposed area deteriorated by 0.02 in both cases. Similarly, the color developing agent <A-1) of Example 1,
When the same experiment as in Example 1 was carried out by changing the exemplified compounds (A-2), (A-4> and (A-15)),
Similar results were obtained. (B-1) (B-2) [Example 3] The silver halide composition of the blue-sensitive layer in the silver halide color light-sensitive material used in Experiment No. 6 of Example 1 is as shown in Table 2 below. The same experiment was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the following. , the results are summarized in Table 2. tp-M11= Table 2 As is clear from Table 2, the yellow dye concentration is almost sufficient when the silver halide composition of the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material contains silver chloride of 80 mol% or more, but when it is lower than this, It can be seen that sufficient dye density cannot be obtained when the silver chloride content is high. In general, it can be seen that when the content is 90 mol % or more, better dye density is obtained, and when it is 95 mol % or more, it is even better. This effect was obtained when the silver halide compositions of the red-sensitive layer and the at-sensitive layer were similarly changed, and the same results were obtained for the cyan and magenta dye densities. In particular, the silver chloride content of all silver halide emulsion layers is 80 mol%.
From the above, it has been found that the entire layer provides a preferable dye density and gives a perfect black color especially when the content is 90 mol % or more, especially 95 mol % or more. [Example 4] Exemplary compound (A'-2
