Definitions

  • This invention relates to color photography, and more particularly, to a method of processing multi-layer color films or papers in such a manner as to reduce color fog and give maximum color density.
  • multi-layer photographic elements used for color photography there are usually three selectively sensitive emulsion layers coated on one side of a single support.
  • the uppermost layer is generally blue-sensitive
  • the next layer is generally green-sensitive
  • the emulsion layer adjacent the support is generally redsensitive.
  • a filter layer for absorbing blue radiation which may be transmitted through the blue-sensitive layer.
  • the multilayer coating can also have other interlayers for specialized purposes. Such multilayer materials have been previously described in the prior art, such as Mannes et al. US. Patent 2,252,718, issued August 19, 1941. Other arrangements of the sensitive layers are also known.
  • Color materials of the type employed in the instant invention are those intended primarily for reversal processes, wherein the exposed material is given a conventional black-and-White development, followed by a reversal exposure, or exposures, and color development.
  • Our invention is particularly useful in processing reversal color materials, wherein the color-forming components or couplers are incorporated in the color developers.
  • an object of our invention to provide an improved method of inhibiting color fog and increasing the maximum color density of reversal color materials intended for processing in color developers containing color-forming materials or couplers. Another object is to provide a method of inhibiting color development fog in the various layers of multilayer color materials.
  • This method consists in contacting the multilayer color material after negative development in the black-and-white developer, but before color development, with an aqueous solution containing certain benzothiazolium or naphthathiazolium salts. This treatment allows normal color development to take place in the exposed layer, but inhibits the development of undesired fog in the unexposed layers.
  • the reversal process used in the present invention is one which has been previously described in the prior art, and it is to be understood that our invention resides in a modification of this prior art technique. That is, it is known that in reversal processing, a colored image can be formed by adding to certain color developing solutions, a compound which couples during development with the oxidation product of the developing agent, thus forming a colored compound which is deposited adjacent to the developed silver halide grains or the silver image, during such color development.
  • the color density improving treatment employed in our invention is applied to the multilayer color material after conventional negative development in a black-and-white developer, and before or after one of the reversal re-exposures for the differentially sensitize demulsion layers.
  • the multilayer color material is, of course, given successive color development treatments for each of the differentially sensitized emulsion layers after reversal reexposure for each emulsion layer.
  • the compounds employed in conjunction with the color developing agents and which couple with the oxidation products of the developing agents during development are generally referred .to as colorforming compounds, or couplers.
  • Such compounds usually belong to one :of three widely known types, i.e., pyrazolone couplers, phenol couplers, and open-chain ketomethylene couplers. These couplers produce, respectively, magenta, cyan and yellow' images.
  • quaternary salts useful in practicing our invention comprise compounds represented by the following general formula:
  • R represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, such as methyl, ethyl, etc. (e.g., an .alkyl group containing from 1-2 carbon atoms), R represents a hydrogen atom, an aryl group (e.g., phenyl, 0-, mand p-tolyl, o-, mand p-methoxyphenyl, etc), or an arylenethiazolyl group (e.g., Z-benzothiazolyl, 3-benzothiazolyl, 2 (,3 naphthothiazolyl) etc.)
  • D represents the nonmetallic atoms necessary to complete an aromatic nucleus (e.g., benzene, naphtholene, etc., as well as their substitution products, including such members substituted by methyl, ethyl, methoxyl, ethoxyl, etc.),
  • m represents a positive integer of from 1-26 (provided that
  • a particularly useful group 'of quaternary salts em; braced by Formula I above includes the compounds represented by Ithe following general formula:
  • R, D and X each have the values given above, and m represents a positive integer of from about 126.
  • Typical quaternary salts embraced by Formula I above include the following:
  • the his compounds represented by Formula II can be prepared according to the methods described in Wilson US. Patent 2,425,774, issued August 19, 1947, as well as by the method described by Allen and Wilson US. Patent 2,694,716, issued November 16, 1954.
  • Such methods generally comprise the fusion of a heterocyclic base with an alkylene halide.
  • Alkyl esters of organic sulfonic acids can also be fused with thiazole bases to provide the salts of our invention.
  • the cycloammonium salts useful in practicing our invention are employed in the form of their aqueous solutions.
  • the amount of quaternary salt used in the solutions can be varied, depending upon the particular emulsions employed, the concentration of silver halides in the emulsions, etc. In general, we have found that concentrations of from about 0.25 to 1.0 gram per liter of solution are particularly eifective. However, the most advantageous concentration for a particular color material can be determined by running a series of test strips of silver halide emulsions through a reversal color process of the type described herein, the concentration of the quaternary salt in the treating solution being varied.
  • the multilayer color materials treated in our invention can be immersed in the treating solution, or for continuous processes, the treating solution may be applied, for example, by means of rollers, etc.
  • the multilayer color material it has been found desirable to give the multilayer color material a short washing treatment after treatment with the quaternary salt in order to avoid spotting.
  • the treatment of the multilayer color materials of our invention can be made either before or after the reversal re-exposure step. However, it must be made after the negative development in the black-and-white developer, but before development in the color developer. We have found that the beneficial effects of the quaternary salts of our invention cannot be obtained if these materials are incorporated in the emulsions. In some instances, the thiazolium salt (e.g., Compound 11a) can be incorporated in the color developing solution where it is soluble in such solution.

  • Particularly useful color-forming developers comprise those containing primary aromatic amines, containing an amino (substituted or not) or hydroxyl substituent. Phenylenediamines and substituted derivatives thereof containing a primary amino group have been found to provide particularly useful results. Typical of such color-forming developers are the sulfonamido substituted p-phenylenediamines disclosed in Weissberger US. Patent 2,548,574, issued April 10, 1951, the substituted p-phenylenediamines disclosed in Weissberger et a1. U.S. Patent 2,566,271, issued August 28, 1951. Of course, other phenylenediamine color-forming developers can be employed with equal facility in the process of our invention.
  • the first, or negative, developer employed in the process of our invention is generally a rapid developer of the MQ type, i.e., a combination of hydroquinone and Elon (p-N-methylaminophenol) developer, although other high-speed developers, such as those containing Phenidone can also be employed.
