Definitions

  • the present invention relates to developer compositions for silver halide photographic materials and, particularly, to photographic silver halide developer compositions having improved resistance to aerial oxidation.
  • treatment of black and white silver halide photographic materials is carried out in the order of development, stopping, fixing and washing.
  • Some compounds have been proposed to reduce or eliminate the catalytic effect of such metal ions, especially iron, on the aerial oxidation of developers by forming very stable complexes with said metal ions in alkaline solution, but their activity is reduced to a high degree when silver halide photographic materials are treated in continuous transport processing machines, especially at high temperatures. In that case, considerable quantities of air are introduced into developer solutions used in processing machines, this aeration oxidizing more of the developing agent than the real development process itself, causing a rapid degradation of the developer.
  • GB-A-2,010,514 describes a developer composition for silver halide photographic materials comprising hydroquinone, an alkali metal sulfite, an organic antifogging agent, inorganic alkali agents and an alkanolamine.
  • Research Disclosure (Dec. 1979) N. 188, pages 692-693 describes calcium sequestering agents for use in black and white developers including aminocarboxylic acid compounds, polyphosphonic acid compounds and combinations thereof.
  • GB-A-1,216,854 describes the combined use of a mercapto agent and a benzotriazole agent to maintain the contrast throughout the life of the developer.
  • C.A. Vol. 91 N. 149402u describes a photographic developing-fixing solution containing hydroquinone, Metol, Phenidone, benzotriazole and 1 - phenyl - 5 - mercaptotetrazole.
  • a developer composition for silver halide photographic materials has been found which has improved resistance to air oxidation, even in the presence of metal ion traces.
  • the composition can be left in continuous transport processing machines for several days, said developer compositions having the following constituents:

  • the organic antifoggant agent is selected from the group of mixtures of 5 - nitroindazole and benzimidazole nitrate, 5 - nitrobenzotriazole and 1 - phenyl - 5 - mercaptotetrazole, and benzotriazole and 1 - phenyl - 5 - mercaptotetrazole and the alkanolamine is selected from the group of diethanolamine, triethanolamine, 2 - benzylaminoethanol, 2 - methylaminoethanol, 2 - ethylaminoethanol and 2 - isopropylaminoethanol.
  • the present invention relates to a developer composition for silver halide photographic materials comprising hydroquinone or a substituted hydroquinone in an amount of 10 to 30 grams per liter, an auxiliary developing agent in an amount of 0.2 to 5 grams per liter, an alkali metal sulfite in an amount of 20 to 50 grams per liter, an organic antifoggant selected in the group of mixtures of 5 - nitroindazole and benzimidazole nitrate, 5 - nitrobenzotriazole and 1 - phenyl - 5 - mercaptotetrazole and benzotriazole and 1 - phenyl - 5 - mercaptotetrazole in an amount of 0.2 to 1.5 grams per liter, inorganic alkali agents sufficient to provide a pH of at least 10 and water sufficient to make up one liter characterized by including:

  • the single part concentrated developer composition above further comprises a compound selected in the group of polyphosphates, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid and citric acid.
  • the single part concentrated developer composition above comprises an auxiliary developing agent selected from the class of substituted pyrazolidone and para-aminophenol compounds.
  • the present invention relates to a concentrated developer composition for silver halide photographic materials to be diluted with water to form a ready-for-use developer composition, comprising hydroquinone or a substituted hydroquinone in an amount of 40 to 120 grams per liter, an auxiliary developing agent in an amount of 0.5 to 20 grams per liter, an alkali metal sulfite in an amount of 80 to 200 grams per liter, a mixture of benzotriazole and 1 - phenyl - 5 - mercaptotetrazole antifogging agents in an amount of 0.8 to 6 grams per liter, inorganic alkali agents sufficient to provide a pH of at least 11, and water sufficient to make up 1 liter, characterized by including:
  • the developing agents for silver halide photographic elements suitable for the purposes of the present invention include hydroquinone and substituted hydroquinones (e.g. t - butylhydroquinone, methylhydroquinone, dimethylhydroquinone, chlorohydroquinone, dichlorohydroquinone, bromohydroquinone, 1,4 - dihydroxynaphthalene, methoxyhydroquinone, ethoxyhydroquinone, etc.). Hydroquinone, however, is preferred.
  • Said silver halide developing agents are generally used in an amount from about 5 to 50, preferably 10 to 30 grams per liter of the developing solution.

  • restrainers such as soluble halides (e.g. KBr and NaBr), solvents, buffers (e.g. borates and carbonates), development accelerators, and the like.
  • the developer compositions according to the present invention are characterized by the combination of an alkanolamine with the selected sequestering agents above.
  • Alkanolamines suitable for the purpose of the present invention include the hydroxyalkylamines having the general formula: wherein R 1 and R 2 each are a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a hydroxyalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or a benzyl group, R 3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and n is an integer of from 1 to 10.
  • Preferred alkanolamines include 2 - benzylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, choline chloride, 3 - amino - 1 - propanol, 1 - amino - 2 - propanol, 2 - amino - 2 - methyl - 1,3 - propanediol, tris - (hydroxymethyl) - aminopropane, 2 - methylamino - ethanol, 2 - dimethylamino - ethanol, 2 - ethylamino - ethanol, bis - (2 - hydroxypropyl) - amine, 3 - dimethyl- amino - 1 - propanol and 2 - isopropylaminomethanol.
