Definitions

  • a contaminant can act as a sensitizer if the film is'iprocessed to low densitiesand as a desensitizer if the film is processed to high densities.
  • the respective effects will be dark spots or markings in one case and markings of lower density in the other.
  • Some 'marks resulting from contamination of films are visible only" in a certain density range, usually the middle density range, between the values of" about 0.5 and 1.0. At lower densities they may not he noticeable, and at higher densities they may be masked by the silver image. The above type of imperfections are extremely troublesome because they appear in an erratic fashion depending on the density of the developed silver.
  • One particular type of contamination is caused by discrete metallic particles present in the photographic emulsion of on the base support in a relatively reduced state, i.e., in a lower than maximum normal oxidation state.
  • The'prese'n'ce of such particles may result in a reduction of silver ions to metallic silver while simultaneously the contaminant p a'r-ticl'e'is' oxidized to a higher oxidation state.
  • the net result is the appearance of a localized sensitized area of higher density in the developed film, the sensitized area ⁇ frequently being surrounded by an equally undesirable ring or halo of a desensitized area of lower density.
  • An object of this invention is to eliminate or minimize the effect of contaminants, in particular certain metallic contaminants, on photographic silver halide emulsions. Another object to accomplish this result by lu-tilizing standard photographic film manufacturing equipment. A funth r object is to eliminate the effect of such contaminants without materially affecting the photographic properties ofa given emulsion. Still further objects will be apparent from the following description of the invention.
  • a process for preparing a photographic element comprising a base support and coating over said support a first layer buffered to a pH within theran'ge of 6 .0'to 810 and' coating over said first layer a second layer ha'vinga' pH below 4.5 such'that' the pH "oftliefinal element is the'range of 4.0 to'7'.0', one of said layers being a layer of a watersoluble colloid silver halide emulsionand' the other being an auxiliary layer.
  • FIG. '1 illustrates the cr'oss' section' of a photographic element'kyhereiri the effects of contaminants on the base are mmiinized.
  • FIG. -2 illustrates the cross-section of a photographic element wherein the effects of "contaminants in the emulsion are The legends on the drawing are self explanatory' and make fiurther explanation thereof unnecessary.
  • the contaminants when they are present on-snb bed or unsubbed base as in FIG. 1 they can be eliminated or minimized by coating on the base a relatively high pH, weakly buffered, thin, aiixiliary undercoating layer, the auxiliary layerbein'g overcoated with a" photo graphic emulsion having a lowpH.
  • Contaminants'in the emulsion as in FIG. 2 are eliminated or minimized by coating on a film base, an emulsion at'a relatively high pH and a low pH, weakly buttered, auxiliary antiabrasion layer.
  • the auxiliary layer as indicated above maybe an anabrasion overcoating layer weakly buffered at a pH ⁇ i/ithin the range of 1.0 to 4.5.
  • a layer,-- e.-g., of' gelatin, coated beneath the emulsion layer, weakly b-ufiered at a pH within the range of 6.0 to 8.0 is also effective, as is a weakly buffered separator layer located between and adjacent to the emulsionlayers in the case of multilayer coatings.
  • the separator layer is buffered at a pl-I'within the range of 1.0 to 8.0.
  • Two or more'of the above-described buffered auxiliary layers can be used in appropriate'photographic elements.
  • a thin layer of a water-permeable colloid binder material e.g;, gelatin,- is first coated on a film support, the pH ot tliis layer being weakly buffered and being high enough to fully oxidize contaminant particles adhering to the surface of the base support, eLg., 6.0 to 8.0.
  • a photographic emulsion is then coated over thislayer, the emulsion pH being such that the pH of the final element is within the predetermined vmues described above.
  • the emulsion coating can he overcoated with another similar or dissimilar layer, e.g., a second emulsion layer, a separator layer or an antiabrasion layer.
  • the .anti alb rasion layer too, can be bufered, necessary, to further adjust the final pH of the element.
  • the pH of the several emulsions can be adjustedand, if necessary, buffered to different values so that the final over-all pH of the element is within the desired range.
  • the auxiliary layers in-addition to providing a means for adjusting the pH of the photographic element, also fulfill other purposes, e'.g., they can contain ingredients such as hardeners, wetting agents; dyes, pigments, matte, etc"., that aren'ot used specifically to adjust the pH of the emulsion.
  • the improved photographic elements are obtained by preparing and coating'a photographic emulsion at a pH sufficiently high so as to oxidize any metallic contaminants present in the emulsion or on the support to their highest normal oxidation state.
  • the metallic contaminants are thereby rendered incapable of subsequent further oxidation and corresponding reduction of silver ions.
  • Any metallic silver formed in' theeinul- 3 sion as a consequence of the contaminant oxidation is believed to be distn'umped throughout the mass of the emulsion, rather than remaining concentrated in the vicinity of the contaminant particles.
  • the quantity of such silver is generally extremely slight so that it cannot be detected in this dispersed state.
  • the pH of the emulsion should be reduced after the contaminants have been oxidized. This pH adjustment is accomplished by coating adjacent to the emulsion layer an auxiliary layer as described above which is weakly buffered at a pH such that the final pH of the element falls within the predetermined range of 4.0 to 7.0.
  • This invention is applicable to all types of photographic emulsions that are susceptible to contaminants of the type described above, i.e., contaminants in a lower than maximum normal oxidation state.
