Definitions

  • This invention relates to the processing of photographic light-sensitive materials intended for use in recording halftone dot images or line images and which carry a gelatin silver halide emulsion of very high contrast characteristics.
  • Photographic light-sensitive materials of the above type are designed to be developed in formaldehyde-containing low-sulphite hydroquinone deevelopers and when so developed the phenonmenon known as infectious development occurs.
  • Emulsions of the foregoing type may be developed satisfactorily over a considerable range of development times, other development conditions being held constant.
  • the effective speed of the lith emulsions increases as the development time is increased; this is the infectious development referred to above and accordingly it is a valuable property of such materials that by controlling development time it is possible to control the eifective emulsion speed.
  • a process for the production of developed photographic material which comprises subjecting photographic lith material containing a latent silver image in a silver halide emulsion layer to development by means of a lithographic developer of the formaldehyde/bisulphite/ hydroquinone type, the development taking place in the presence of a water-soluble polyethylene oxide condensate which is a compound which comprises a polyethylene oxide chain ⁇ CH CH O ⁇ , where n is an integer from 5-200, and an organic mercapto compound selected from dialkyl substituted thioureas, and heterocyclic nitrogen compounds containing a mercapto group attached to a carbon atom which is in the alpha position with respect to a nitrogen atom in the heterocyclic ring.
  • both the polyethylene oxied condensate and the organic mercapto compound are present initially in the photographic lith material either in the emulsion layer thereof or in the supercoat layer.
  • lithographic developer of the formaldehyde/bisulphite/hydroquinone type is meant a developer system containing hydroquinone only as developing agent but with sulphite ion present as a formaldehyde bisulphite complex with an addition of up to 1% by weight of free sodium sulphite.
  • the pH of the developer is maintained at values between 9.8-105. This formulation enhances infectious type development resulting in extremely high contrast of lith type emulsions.
  • photographic lith material comprises a fine grain high contrast silver halide emulsion in which the halide generally comprises at least 50 mole percent chloride and less than 5 mole percent iodide, the remainder being bromide.
  • the emulsion may be sensitised with gold salts and/or sulphur containing compounds such as thiosulphate or it may be reduction sensitised.
  • the emulsion may also be optically sensitised and contain stablising agents for exam le tetrazindines.
  • polyethylene oxide condensate any polymeric compound which com-prises -a polyethylene oxide chain of the type ⁇ CH CH --O ⁇ where n is from 5-200.
  • Such compounds include polyethylene glycol and cbhdensation products of ethylene oxide with, for example, aliphatic alcohols, saturated aliphatic acids, alkyl substituted phenols and hexitol rings.
