Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an improved color developing process for silver halide color photographic elements and more particularly to a color developing process using polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether and p-aminophenol or derivatives thereof to promote the color developing speed, reduce the deficiency in silver bleaching and color contamination, and to improve picture qualities.
  • the presence of the developing accelerator in a bleaching process for developed silver after the color development frequently reduces the oxidation speed of silver, that is, causes the phenomenon of so-called insufficient silver bleaching.
  • an object of the present invention is to accelerate the color developing speed and also increase the color density.
  • Another object of the present invention is to improve the silver-bleaching in color photographic processing.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to reduce or prevent the decontamination or color contamination in color photography.
  • the polyoxyethylene alky phenyl ether used in the present invention can be represented by the following general formula wherein R and R' are a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms and n is a number of 5 to 50.
  • the suitable amount of the abovementioned polyoxyethylene alkylphenol other is usually from 0.5 to 10 g./
  • the amount may be less or more than the range it if it is less than 0.5 g./iiter the effect of the addition .ereof will be Weak and it higher than 10 g./liter the feet Will not be increased more and hence the addition too much amount of the compound is unnecessary.
  • the p-aminophenol derivatives used in this invention 7e N-methylaminophenol sulfate (metol), o,prdiaminoaenol hydrochloride (amidol), and N-benzyl-p-aminonenol. Although the effect may be slightly iess than those 5 the abovementioned derivatives, p-aminophenol may be so used in this invention.
  • a suitable amount of p-aminophenol or the derivaves thereof to be incorporated in the developer is 0.1 to g./liter. The amount may be less or higher than this tnge but if the amount is less than 0.1 g./ liter, the efiect E additon thereof becomes insufiicient and if it is higher tan 1 g./liter the color density tends to decrease on the )ntrary.
  • Two or more kinds of the abovementioned pninophenol and the derivatives thereof may be used in 11S invention.
  • the present invention may generally be applied to color hotographic elements using a color developer containlg p-phenylene-diamine or derivatives thereof, such as egative color photographic films, photographic color apers, photographic color reversal films and the like. 1 particular, the most effective results of this invention an be obtained in the case of conducting this invention JOUt a yellow color developer for photographic color :versal film having technical difficulties in silver bleach- ⁇ g and color decontamination.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A test sample which had been prepared by applying a lue-sensitive gelatino silver bromo-iodide emulsion to cellulose acetate film was exposed by means of a :nsitometer and subjected to the following processings:
  • the color densities and the silver-bleaching effects were measured in this processing about the cases of using the polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether .or the p-aminophenol derivative aione and using both of them, the results of which are shown in Table 1.
  • the color density is shown by the value obtained by measuring the maximum density range of thus processed film using a blue filter light and the silver-bleaching effect is shown by the value of the blackened density (D caused by the remaining silver measured by using a red filter light divided by the color density value (D obtained from measuring by using a blue filter light.
  • EXAMPLE 2 To a cellulose acetate film were applied a red-sensitive gelatino silver bromo-iodide emulsion, a green-sensitive gelatino silver bromo-iodide emulsion, a yellow filter layer composed of colloidal silver for absorbing blue light, and a blue-sensitive silver bromo-iodide emulsion in this order to provide a multi-layered color photographic film,
  • compositions of the processing solutions are as follows:
  • compositions of the first developer and the second black and white developer are same as the composition of the primary developing solution in Example 1.
  • composition of the yellow developer is same as that of the color developer in Example 1.
  • compositions of the bleaching solution and the fixing solution are same as those in Example 1.
  • the effect of the addition of the compounds of this invention to the yellow color developer in the above processings is shown in Table 2.
  • the color density (D was measured by a blue filter light.
  • the silver bleaching was measured about the samples exposed to yellow patch.
  • the color contamination (1) shows the ratio of the color density (D obtained by measuring with a green filter light a sample exposed to yellow patch to the color density .(D obtained by measuring it with a blue filter light, that is, the ratio of unnecessary magenta color components in the yellow image
  • the color contamination (2) shows the ratio of the color density (D obtained by measuring 'with a blue filter light a sample exposed to a magneta patch to the color density (D obtained by measuring it with a green filter light, that is, the ratio of unnecessary yellow components in the magenta color image.
  • EXAMPLE 4 A gelatino silver bromo-iodide emulsion containing a yellow coupler was applied to a cellulose acetate film to provide a test sample, which was exposed by means of a NSG actionometer and then subjected to the following processmgs:
  • a color developer containing a member selected from the group consisting of p-phenylenediamine and the derivatives thereof is used, the improvement which comprises in said color developer (A) phenyl ether represented by the general formula:
  • R and R represent a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms and n is a number of from 5 to 50, and (B) at least one component selected from the group consisting of N-rnethyl-p-aminophenol, o,p-diaminophenol, N-bcnzyl-p-aminophenol and p-aminophe- 1101.
