Definitions
- This invention relates to mercaptan monobath compositions and processes for the development of silver images in photographic silver salt layers of photographic elements.
- the invention relates to the use of mercaptan stabilized monobaths containing a hydroquinone silver salt developing agent having at least one alkyl or aryl thio radical containing at least one water solubilizing group.
- Monobaths formed by the combination of developing agents with silver complexing agents have greatly simplitied the mechanics of processing photographic films, papers, etc., by developing and fixing the exposed element in a single solution.
- Monobaths are well known as described, for example, in The Monobath Manual by Grant M. Haist, 1966. US. Pat. 2,875,048 of Haist et al., issued Feb. 24, 1959, proposes a monobath composition comprising an alkaline solution of a hydroxylamine or 3-pyrazolidone developing agent and a monothioglycerol, thioglycol, fi-mercaptoethylamine, N,N-diethyl-fimercaptoethylamine or 2-thiobarbituric acid. While such mercaptan-containing monobaths are known, when mercaptan monobaths contain hydroquinone as a developing agent they rapidly lose the silver complexing activity of the mercaptan due to aerial oxidation.
- An object of the invention is, therefore, to provide means for producing stable silver images with mercaptancontaining monobaths which reduce loss in mercaptan complexing activity.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a monobath process employing a mercaptan silver complexing agent which process is resistant to loss in mercaptan silver complexing activity.
- the desired monobath has increased stability to oxidation and (c) has longer constant stabilizing activity Without further addition of mercaptan stabilizing agent.
- arylene and Y is a water solubilizing group, and (c) a development activator.
- Monobaths are well known in the art, as set out in the references described.
- Monobath as employed herein, means a composition containing a silver salt developing agent and a silver salt fixing or stabilizing agent. It usually refers to an aqueous solution of such developing agents and fixing or stabilizing agents.
- Monobaths within the scope of the invention effect both development and stabilization of the silver salt emulsion. Further definition of the term monobath is set out in. the book The Monobath Manual by Grant M. Haist, 1966.
