Definitions

  • Anobject of my invention. is to. provide a novel method, of treating-colored photographs" so that extreme humidity conditions. do not destroy the original coloration .Another object of. my. invention.v is to.- obtain color photographs whose, colors are stable to heat as well as to the deteriorating effect. of residual color developing chemicals. v 7
  • R3 represents either hydrogen or lower alkyl group of the same-value as; in; R2,, and, 2- represents-thedival'ent methylene radicals necessary to complete a 5- or; 6-membered cycloaliphatic group, such: as cyclopentyl; or cyclohexyl and, the water-soluble formaldehyde addition products of said hydantoin compound;
  • the concentration of the hydantoin compound may be varied from as little as .5% to as much as 20%. Amounts higher than the latterv give little improvement. Concentrations ranging between 2 and yield satisfactory results.
  • the time of rinsing may also vary between 1 to minutes. However, best results with a 3% solution are obtained when the bathing of the processed film is'from 3 to 5' minutes.
  • the hydantoin compounds may be employed in acid, neutral, or alkaline media. Solutions having a pH of about 8 are, however, preferred.
  • the photographic multicolor materials which may be processed with the anti-stain bath of the present invention are color reversible film, color negative film, color reversible white printing ma terial coated on an opaque base, and color positive printing material coated on paper, irrespective of whether the dyestuff images are produced with color formers present in the emulsion, or by a selective second exposure-followed by development with developing solutions containing color formers and color developing agents.
  • the color reversible film consists of an integral tri-pack emulsion coated .on the usual clear cellulose acetate or nitrate film base. Each of the emulsions is sensitized to one of the primary colors of light; namely,'b1ue, green, "and red.
  • Each of the three silver halide emulsion layers contains dye forming compounds which unite during the development of a silver image in an aromatic amine developing agent to form a dye with the oxidation product of the developing agent, or may be free from with the color formers in the color developers by the selective second ex os re and color development method as described in United States Patents 1.897.866. 1.900.870. 1,928,709, and 1.980941.
  • a yellow d e is formed'inthe blue sensitive emulsion; a ma enta dye is formed in the green sensi-v tive em lsion; and a cyan d e is formed in the red sensiti e emulsion. Combinations oi these three printing primaries will produce all of the other colors in the finished film or print.
  • the color negative film is made up in the same manner as the color reversible film with the excention that it may contain a layer of clear gelatin between the red sensitive layer and the green sensitive layer.
  • the color reversible white opaoue material is prepared in the same manner as color reversible film and the color negative film with the exce tion that the base consists of an o aoue white film.
  • the color pa er is also constructed in the same'manner as the color reversible film and the color ne ative film, with the exception that the emulsion is coated on a baryta coated a er base. Suitable methods for the preparation of photogra hic multilayer materials have been described in the literature relating to color photography and are, therefore, not described here.
  • Multicolor photogra hic materials which are color develo ed by azine developers, 1. e., aromatic triamines, to yield azine (phenazonium) dye images are described in United States Patent 2,486,440. V
  • Multicolor photograph c materials in which the final dye images areazo dye images areprepared according to the procedural steps disclosed in United States Patents 1,985.344 and 2,020,775.
  • Example I A 2%" x 2%" color transparency was printed by projection on two 3" x 5" sheets of color reversible white opaque film having gelatin layers on both sides of the film base. The two exposed color reversible white opaque film sheets were first developed for 12'minutesat 68 F. in a developer of the following composition:
  • the hardened film was washed for 5 minutes in running water at 68 F.
  • the washed material was then treated with a bleach bath of the following composition:
  • Example IV Example IV was repeated with the exception that the final rinse bath was a slightly alkaline 3% solution of fi-methylhydantoin instead of a 2% solution of 5,5-dimethylhydantoin-formaldehyde resin.
  • the untreated film after being subjected Both prints, i. e., the treated and untreated,
  • Example II Example I was repeated with the exception that the high humidity oven test was replaced by a storage test. Both prints, 1. e., the treated and untreated, were stored in an ordinary filing cabinet for over 8 months. Upon inspection, it was noted that the untreated print had stained a to the high humidity oven test, showed an overall yellow stain and as a result the color balance was completely ruined, whereas the treated film showed no staining whatsoever.
  • R1 represents a lower alkyl group
  • R2 is a group selected from the class consisting of lower alkyl and lower alkoxyalkyl groups
  • R3 represents a 5 member selected from the class consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl group
  • Z represents the methylene radicals necessary to complete a member selected from the class consisting of fivemembered and six -membered cycloaliphetic :groups, and the water-solubleformaldehyde addition products of said hydantoin compound.
  • hydantoin compound is 1-methyl0l-5,5-dimethyl'- hydantoin. s a
