Definitions

  • the amine compound serves to enhance the activity of a development nucleus contained in the receiving layer.
  • This invention relates to an image-receiving material for use in a silver salt diffusion transfer photographic process.
  • the photographic material is brought into contact with a processing liquid containing a solvent for the silver halide, such as sodium thiosulfate or potassium thiocyanate, whereupon the unexposed silver halide reacts with the solvent for the silver halide to form a water-soluble silver complex compound.
  • a processing liquid containing a solvent for the silver halide such as sodium thiosulfate or potassium thiocyanate
  • the unexposed silver halide reacts with the solvent for the silver halide to form a water-soluble silver complex compound.
  • a receiving material that has a receiving layer comprising a catalyst (physical development nucleus) for the reduction of the water-soluble silver complex compound dispersed in the hydrophilic binder is brought into intimate contact with the photosensitive layer, the silver complex compound formed in the photosensitive layer diffuses together with the processing liquid containing the solvent for silver halide, and moves from the photosensitive layer to the receiving layer where it is reduced to silver by the action of the development nucleus.
  • the development nuclei usually used in the silver salt diffusion transfer photographic process include, for example, sparingly water-soluble metal sulfides, metal selenides, or colloidal heavy metals or noble metals. Such a substance is dispersed in a polymeric material, such as gelatin or polyvinyl alcohol, which allows an alkaline liquid to penetrate, and the resulting dispersion is coated on a support such as paper, film or a metal plate to produce an image-receiving material.
  • the development nucleus of the receiving material should have a high activity and receiving materials utilizing a highly active development nuclei can be used favorably as high speed diffusion transfer photographic materials.
  • 2,698,237 discloses that when a water-soluble metal salt is mixed with a water-soluble sulfide in finely divided silicon dioxide, the precipitate of a water-soluble metal sulfide is obtained and this product has a very high activity as a development nucleus.
  • This known development nucleus however, has the defect that during the storage of the receiving material it gradually loses its activity.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an image-receiving material in which the activity of a development nucleus contained therein is markedly enhanced and in which the enhanced activity hardly decreases during storage for long periods of time.
  • the present invention provides an image-receiving material for use in a silver salt diffusion transfer photographic process which contains a compound of the following general formula in at least one of either its receiving layer or an adjacent layer:
  • n is an integer of l to 5
  • each of R and R is a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having not more than 5 carbon atoms, a substituted alkyl group having not more than 5 carbon atoms in which at least one of the hydrogen atoms is substituted with a hydroxyl group or a halogen atom, a substituted alkyl group having not more than 5 carbon atoms in which at least one of the hydrogen atoms is substituted with an amino group,
  • -C(NH ) NH group, an acyl group and an allyl group, or R and R are bonded directly or through another atom to form a hetero ring together with the nitrogen atom.
  • the above-described substance is incorporated in at least one of a receiving layer or an adjacent layer of the image-receiving material used in the silver salt diffusion transfer photographic process.
  • the receiving material is composed of a support, a receiving layer provided thereon, and an adjacent layer including a sub layer for increasing the adhesion of the receiving layer to the support and a stripping layer (provided for rendering both the photographic material and the receiving layer separable from each other after the diffusion transfer treatment) or a protective layer (provided for preventing scratch injury or contamination of the image surface).
  • Each of these layers contains as a binder a hydrophilic film-forming polymeric material such as gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
  • the support which can be, for example, cellulose diacetate film, cellulose triacetate film, polystyrene paper, polyethylene laminate paper or baryta-coated paper.
  • the above-mentioned compound aifects the action of the development nucleus.
  • the amount of the compound to be incorporated in the receiving layer or adjacent layer is 1 to 200 moles por mole of the development nucleus, and best results are obtained when the amount is 10 to 100 moles per mole of the development nucleus.
  • the compound is generally added to a solution or dispersion of the compound which forms the receiving layer or the adjacent layer at any stage until the coating of the solution. If desired, a solution of the compound may be applied before or after the coating of the receiving layer or the adjacent layer, so that the compound is caused to penetrate into the layer. In short, the requirement is that the compound is finally present in the a receiving layer or the adjacent layer.
  • COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE Preparation of comparative sample Solution A of the following mixture was coated on the surface of baryta paper at the coating Weight of 25 cc./m.
  • Aqueous solution of sodium sulfide (3% hy weight) o... 9.5
  • Aqueous solution of saponin (6% by weight) cc 20
  • the coating was dried, and on top of it, Solution B of the following mixture was coated, followed by drying.
  • Solution B Distilled water or 1,000 Sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose -g 10 Aqueous solution of saponin (6% by weight) "cc-.. 20
  • the resultant receiving material was used as a comparative sample.
  • Sample 1 A receiving material (Sample 1) was prepared by the same procedure as set forth in the Comparative Example except that a solution of the following formulation was used instead of Solution A.
  • the degree of forcible deterioration can be estimated by 1O0AD/D where AD is a difference between D which is the maximum density of the transfer image formed on the non-deteriorated sample, and D which is the maximum density of the transfer image of the forcibly deteriorated sample.
  • the amine compound used in the present invention serves to prevent the processing composition from remaining attached to the surface of the receiving material when the receiving material was separated from the photosensitive material after the diffusion transfer process.
  • An image-receiving material for use in the diffusion transfer process comprising a development nucleus material and an amine compound of the following general formula in at least one of either its receiving layer or an adjacent layer:
  • n is an integer of 1 to 5
  • An image-receiving material of claim 2 wherein the amount of the amine compound is 10 to 100 moles per mole of the development nucleus material.
  • an image-receiving material of claim 1 wherein the amine compound is selected from the group consisting of fi-hydroxyethylamine, N-methyl-B-hydroxyethylamine, N,N-dimethyl-fl-hydroxyethylamine, N-ethyl-fl-hydroxyethylamine, N,N-diethyl-fi-hydroxyethylamine, N-methyl-N-ethyl-p-hydroxyethylamine, 'N-n-pentyl-B-hydroxyethylamine,
