Definitions

  • This invention relates to the use of certain spectral sensitizers in photographic materials useful in rapidprocessing systems employing a stabilization procedure to eliminate stain therein.
  • Normal photographic processing of conventional silver halide materials after exposure includes the essential steps of development, fixing, washing and drying. These essential steps consume an appreciable amount of time and in many cases the time required for the completion of each step cannot be shortened without lessening the quality of the final picture.
  • Silver halide elements containing developing agents incorporated therein are being widely used in applications requiring rapid processing.
  • the incorporation of develapplication of two processing solutions and provide a substantially dry, stabilized processed print in thirty seconds or less.
  • the development stage usually involves a two to five second application of the alkaline activator solution.
  • the development step is followed by a twoto five-second application of the stabilizer solution. Since no washing step is involved, elements of the photographic emulsion remain in the stabilized print.
  • a silver halide element containing a developing agent after exposure, may be developed by merely wiping the surface of the silver halide with a sponge, a rubber roller or other applicator wet with an alkaline solution so that the support is not soaked. Another method of applying the solution includes pressing the exposed layer against a pad or web'moistened with an alkaline solution.
  • Compounds for reacting with the residual silver halide to so convert it are usually compounds containing a doubly-bonded sulfur atom or an SH linkage (see British Patents 636,981 and 693,632).
  • One method for stabilizing a photographic print is to treat it with an alkali metal thiocyanate or an ammonium thiocyanate for a few seconds or minutes and then dry it without washing out the soluble chemicals therein.
  • a thiocyanate one may employ an alkali metal or ammonium thiosulfate or a thiourea or a thioglycollic acid.
  • the time of treatment is chosen so as to be just sufiicient to convert the residual silver halide into the complex silver compound which is allowed to remain in the element.
  • the thiosulfates and thioureas are used in acid solution, the thioglycollic acid in alkaline solution and the thiocyanates in either acid or alkaline solutions.
  • unhardened photographic silver halide emulsion layers exhibit poor resistance to physical abrasion and may even separate from the support during processing. These defects may be eliminated by processing the photographic element in a hardening developer as described in Allen and Burness British Patent 825,544. Developers of this type have poor stability since their effective hardening action tends to decrease rapidly with age. It is possible, however, to incorporate in the unhardened layers of the photographic element a hardener-precursor which releases hardener at the alkaline pH utilized for development of the exposed element. Particularly useful hardener-precursors are those which form aldehyde-type hardeners in alkaline processing solutions.
  • spectral sensitizing dyes in unhardened silver halide elements containing incorporated developing agents, which elements are designed for rapid stabilization processing. For satisfactory results, such spectral sensitizers should become colorless during processing or they must be rapidly bleached from the emulsion in order to reduce or eliminate stain therefrom.
  • Spectral sensitizing dyes containing solubilizing groups have been employed in photographic elements processed in the conventional manner, i.e., using a washing cycle following development and fixation.
  • It is a further object of my invention to provide unhardened photographic elements comprising a silver halide emulsion layer, an incorporated silver halide developing agent and a spectral sensitizer which exhibits low stain propensity when the exposed element is processed in a rapid stabilization process.
