Definitions
- the present invention is especially related to silver and color diffusion transfer processes of the type wherein a transfer image is obtained in a single step by treating an exposed photosensitive element with a layer of a suitable processing solution to provide, as a function of development, an imagewise distribution of image-forming components, and transferring the imagewise distribution of image-forming components through the layer of processing solution to a superposed image-receiving element to form a transfer image thereon.
- an exposed photosensitive silver halide emulsion is developed and almost concurrently therewith a soluble silver complex is obtained by reaction of a silver halide solvent with the unexposed and undeveloped silver halide of said emulsion.
- the photosensitive silver halide emulsion is wet with a layer of processing composition which is spread between a photosensitive element comprising the silver halide emulsion and a print-receiving element.
- the processing composition effects development of the latent image in the emulsion and substantially contemporaneous therewith forms a soluble silver complex, for example, a thiosulfate or thiocyanate, with undeveloped silver halide.
- This soluble silver complex is, at least in part, transported in the direction of the35ceiving element and the silver thereof is largely precipitated thereon to form a positive transfer image.
- dye developers i.e., compounds which contain in the same molecule both the chromophon'c system of a dye and also a silver halide developing function
- dye developers i.e., compounds which contain in the same molecule both the chromophon'c system of a dye and also a silver halide developing function
- a layer of the processing solution is applied between the photosensitive element and a superposed image-receiving element, and the imagewise distribution of image-forming components is transferred through the layer of processing solution to the imagereceiving layer.
- the processing solution comprises a film-forming, viscosity-increasing reagent, such, for example, as hydroxyethyl cellulose or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to facilitate the spreading ice of the solution, between the photosensitive element and the image-receiving element.
- a film-forming, viscosity-increasing reagent such, for example, as hydroxyethyl cellulose or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to facilitate the spreading ice of the solution, between the photosensitive element and the image-receiving element.

- the present invention is concerned with providing means for substantially cutting down the time which the layer of processing solution takes to set on the image-receiving element. It is particularly useful when it is employed with imagereceiving elements which have means therein for reducing the alkalinity of the processing solution, such as disclosed in the copending application of Edwin H.

- the setting time of the film of processing solution on imagereceiving elements, and especially on image-receiving elements having means therein for reducing the alkalinity of the processing solution may be substantially reduced by incorporating in the processing solution a polymeric substance which is soluble in strongly alkaline solutions, e.g., solutions having pHs greater than 11.0, and particularly a pH between 12 and 14, but is insoluble and precipitates out when the pHs reduced to 7 to 11.0 and, more preferably, 9 to 11.
- a polymeric substance which is soluble in strongly alkaline solutions, e.g., solutions having pHs greater than 11.0, and particularly a pH between 12 and 14, but is insoluble and precipitates out when the pHs reduced to 7 to 11.0 and, more preferably, 9 to 11.
- the preferred polymeric materials for use in the present invention are those which, in addition to possessing the above solubility characteristics, are (1) stable in the strongly alkaline processing solutions for long periods of time, (2) are compatible with the other reagents present and (3) form clear films with the film forming viscosityincreasing reagents which may be present.
- Polymeric materials which are particularly useful in the present invention are the weakly ionized polymeric acids, e.g., acids having ionization constants between about 10- and 10- and, more preferably, between 10" and 10
- Preferred groups of compounds within this class are the polyphenols, i.e., polymers comprising a plurality of hydroxyphenyl groups therein.
- aromatic hydroxy groups are slightly ionized and are Weak acids.
- materials of this type are phenolformaldehyde condensation polymers such as the resols or novolaks.

- Such hydrolysis products may be represented as possessing segments of the following structure:
- the preferred hydroxybenzaldehydes for forming the above acetals are those in which the hydroxy group is meta to the aldehyde group. Such meta compounds provide acetals which have especially good stability in the strongly alkaline processing solutions.
- Another class of weakly ionized polymeric acids for use in the present invention are the primary and secondary polysulfonamides, i.e., polymers comprising a plurality of SO NH and/ or -SO NHR radicals wherein R may be an alkyl or phenyl group.
- Materials of this type which have been found particularly useful are polymers comprising phenyl sulfonamide groups.
- polymers condensation polymers of benzenesulfonamide and formaldehyde such as Santolite MHP (trademark of Monsanto Chemical Co).

- a polymeric acid having non-diffusing acid groups thereon e.g., cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate, or a partial ester of an ethylene/maleic acid copolymer.
- the alkali subsequent to transfer of the imageforming substances, migrates into such layers and is neutralized, thereby reducing the pH of the layer of processing solution.
- the acid layer is separated from the image-receiving layer by a neutral layer or admixed with other neutral polymers to prevent premature reduction of the alkali concentration before development.
- the present invention is primarily intended for use in processes wherein the layer of processing solution is adapted, when spread between the photosensitive element and the image-receiving element, to preferentially adhere to the image-receiving element when the elements are separated.
- the layer of the image-receiving element which is contiguous to the layer of processing solution, has a greater affinity for the layer of processing solution than the contiguous layer of the photosensitive element.
- preferential adhesion will vary depending upon the film forming material incorporated in the processing solution. Generally, it can be readily determined and achieved by simple procedures and technique known to the art.
- precipitating nuclei e. g., metallic sulfides such, for example, as lead sulfide, cadmium sulfide, zinc sulfide and nickel sulfide, and metallic selenides such as lead selenide and zinc selenide, in the image-receiving layer to facilitate the formation of the silver image thereon.
- precipitating nuclei may be dispersed directly in the processing solution, as disclosed in US. Patent No. 2,662,822.
- a dye mordant may be included in the processing solution in color transfer processes.
