For example, in the case of a developer, this amount of replenisher dilutes the reactant accumulated in the developer by the development reaction so that the desired development activity can be obtained, and also replenishes the amount degraded by the oxidation reaction. It can be determined by In the case of a fixer, unexposed silver halide from the photosensitive material is melted, silver accumulates in the fixer, and halide ions are released, reducing the fixing ability and the dye elution ability. Therefore, new replenisher fluid is added. Normally, the amount of replenishment of fixer was about 0.6 N to 0.9 liters per 1 d of light-sensitive material. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing desire to eliminate as much processing waste liquid as possible from the standpoint of environmental conservation in the processing of photographic materials. However, if the amount of replenisher is reduced, more silver will be accumulated in almost inverse proportion to it, and more iodide ions will be accumulated among halide ions, resulting in a decrease in fixing ability. In addition, the sensitizing dye contained in the photosensitive material does not completely elute during processing, causing the problem of so-called residual color, which leaves color in the photosensitive material after processing, so there is a strong desire to reduce the amount of replenisher. Despite this, it was not easy to achieve. On the other hand, with the progress and development of the electronics field, speed is now required in all fields, and the field of silver halide photography is no exception. In particular, the need for rapid processing is increasing, especially in the development of Graphic Arts photosensitive materials, X-ray photosensitive materials, scanner photosensitive materials, CRT image recording photosensitive materials, and the like. The faster the processing is done, the more sensitive material can be processed within a unit time. In other words, speeding up the process is of great significance as it has the advantage of being a highly capable machine with a smaller size. However, it goes without saying that as development processing speeds up, the above-mentioned problems with fixing performance and residual color become more serious. Furthermore, problems arise, such as shorter washing times and poor image preservation after processing. (Objects of the Invention) The first object of the present invention is to provide a processing method for reducing the amount of fixer replenishment for silver halide photosensitive materials, and secondly, to provide a processing method for reducing the amount of fixer replenishment for silver halide photosensitive materials. The object of the present invention is to provide a processing method that maintains high performance and solves the problem of residual color caused by sensitizing dyes.

It is less than 5J. The preferred replenishment amount varies depending on the type of photosensitive material and the structure of the automatic processor used, but is preferably 0.4 liters or less, more preferably 0.3 liters or less. If the amount of fixer replenishment is reduced, the pH of the fixer will likely increase due to developer carryover, so it is recommended to use a pH buffering agent (acetic acid, boric acid, etc.) with a higher concentration than usual in the fixer. preferable. The concentration of the pH buffer in the fixer is usually about 0.3 mol/e, but in a low replenishment system like the present invention, it is more than 0.5 mol/e, especially 0.3 mol/e.
It is preferable that the fixing solution contains a pH buffering agent of about 5 mol/l to 0.7 mol/E. A rinsing bath or an acidic bath may be provided between development and fixing to reduce the effect of developer carryover. When the amount of fixer replenishment is reduced, the amount of iodine ions in the fixer increases, but

The fixer may also contain water-soluble aluminum salts that act as hardeners, such as aluminum chloride, aluminum ξ sulfate, potassium alum, and the like. The fixing solution may contain tartaric acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, or their derivatives alone or in combination. These compounds are added at o.o. per fixer 11. o
Those containing more than os mole are effective, especially 0.01 mole/l
-0.03 mol/1 is particularly effective. The fixer may optionally contain a hardening agent (such as an aluminum salt such as aluminum iJE acid), a preservative (such as a sulfite or a bisulfite), a pH adjustment agent (such as sulfuric acid), and water softening ability. It may contain certain chelating agents and compounds described in JP-A-62-78551. The fixer replenisher used in the present invention preferably contains the same precepts as the above-mentioned fixer, but it may be one in which some of the preservatives are changed or the composition ratio is changed. It is preferable that the fixing replenisher be supplied in the form of a concentrated solution and used after being diluted.
The concentrate may be prepared as a single agent, or it may be in the form of two or more agents and mixed at the time of use. In the latter case, it is preferable to combine the containers containing each part into one unit, as this makes handling easier. The development processing method of the present invention basically consists of the steps of developing, fixing, washing with water, and drying the exposed silver halide photosensitive material. The combination of dihydroxybenzenes and 1-phenyl-3-virazolidones is most preferred as the developing agent used in the developer used in the development process of the present invention, since it is easy to obtain good performance.

Those described in No. 64933 may also be used. For the rapid processing of the present invention, the swelling percentage of the light-sensitive material is reduced (preferably 150% to 50%) as described below.
It is better to weaken the treated dura mater. That is, it is more preferable that there is no hardening film during development, and it is even more preferable that there is no hardening film during fixing, but the pH of the fixing solution may be set to 4.6 or higher to weaken the hardening reaction. By doing so, it is possible to use a replenisher consisting of a single solution for both the developer and the fixer, and there is also the advantage that the replenisher only needs to be diluted with water to prepare the replenisher. In the above-mentioned method for developing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention, after the development and fixing steps, the light-sensitive material in?

As a method to reduce the amount of replenishment, a multistage countercurrent system (for example, two stages, three stages, etc.) has been known for a long time. If this multistage countercurrent method is applied to the present invention, the photosensitive material after fixing will be processed in a progressively cleaner direction, that is, in sequential contact with the processing solution that is not contaminated with the fixer, resulting in even more efficient processing. Washing is done. For the above-mentioned water-saving treatment or piping-free treatment, it is preferable to apply anti-mold measures to the washing water or stabilizing liquid. Anti-mildew methods include the ultraviolet irradiation method described in JP-A No. 60-263939, the method using a magnetic field described in JP-A No. 60-263940, and the use of ion exchange resin described in JP-A No. 61-13l632.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned dry-to-dry rapid processing within 70 seconds, the development time can be within 20 seconds, preferably within 15 seconds, but the development temperature is 2.
The temperature is preferably 5°C to 50°C, more preferably 30°C to 40°C. According to the present invention, the fixing temperature and time are about 20°C to about 50°C.
6 seconds to 20 seconds at 30℃ to 40℃, preferably 6 seconds to 1 seconds at 30℃ to 40℃
5 seconds is more preferable. Sufficient fixation can be achieved within this range,
The sensitizing dye can be eluted to the extent that no residual color occurs. Water washing or stabilization bath temperature and time are 0 to 50℃ for 6 seconds to 2
0 seconds is preferable, and 6 seconds to 15 seconds at 15°C to 40°C is more preferable. According to the method of the invention, the developed, fixed and washed (or stabilized) photographic material is dried by squeezing out the washing water, ie passing through a squeeze roller. Drying is carried out at a temperature of about 40°C to about 100°C, and the drying time can be changed appropriately depending on the surrounding conditions, but it is usually about 5 seconds to 30 seconds, particularly preferably about 5 seconds to 80°C. It is 20 seconds.
When carrying out dry-to-dry development processing in 70 seconds or less using the sensitive material/processing system of the present invention, in order to prevent uneven development peculiar to rapid processing, a method such as that described in JP-A-63-151943 is used. Applying a roller made of rubber to the roller at the outlet of the developing tank, and
- As described in the specification of No. 15l944, the discharge flow rate for stirring the developer in the developer tank is set to 10mi minutes or more, and furthermore, as described in the specification of JP-A-63-264758. Therefore, it is more preferable to stir the film more strongly at least during the development process than during standby. Furthermore, for rapid processing as in the present invention, it is particularly preferable that the roller structure of the fixer tank be opposed rollers in order to increase the fixing speed. By using opposing rollers, the number of rollers can be reduced and the processing tank can be made smaller. In other words, it is possible to make the automatic processor more compact. The method of developing a photosensitive material of the present invention is not particularly limited as a photographic photosensitive material, and firstly, black and white photosensitive materials are mainly used, but it can also be used for color photosensitive materials.
In particular, photographic materials for laser printers for medical images, scanner sensitive materials for printing, medical direct photography X-ray sensitive materials,
It can be used for medical indirect photography X-ray photosensitive materials, CRT image recording photosensitive materials, etc. The present invention is particularly suitable for processing black and white photosensitive materials in which silver images are observed. The production of a photosensitive material suitable for rapid development according to the present invention can be achieved by, for example, one of the following methods or a combination of two or more methods. ■ Use silver halide with low or no iodine content. That is, silver chloride, silver bromide, silver chlorobromide, silver iodobromide, silver chloroiodobromide, etc., having a silver iodide content of 0 to 5 mol %, are used. ■ Adding a water-soluble iridium salt to the silver halide emulsion. ■ Coating in silver halide emulsion layer 1! Reduce quantity. For example, 1 to 3.5 g/rrr on one side, preferably 1
~3g/rd. ■ Reduce the average grain size of silver halide in the emulsion. For example, it is 1.0μ or less, preferably 0.7μ or less.

It is preferable to keep it below 00%. On the other hand, if the swelling percentage is too low, the speed of development, fixing, washing, etc. will be reduced, so it is not preferable to lower the swelling percentage more than necessary. The preferred swelling percentage is 200% or less and 30% or more,
Particularly preferred is 150% or less and 50% or more. A person skilled in the art can easily control the swelling percentage to 200% or less by, for example, increasing the amount of hardening agent used in the photosensitive material. The swelling percentage was determined by ia) incubating the photographic material at 38°C and 50% relative humidity for 3 days, and (b)! ! The thickness of the aqueous colloid layer was measured and compared with the thickness of the hydrophilic colloid layer measured (the photographic material was immersed in distilled water at 21° C. for 3 minutes and during the +dl step) to determine the change in layer thickness. It can be determined by measuring the percentage. Examples of hardening agents that can be used in the present invention include aldehyde compounds, active halogen-containing compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,288,775, and U.S. Pat. ,635

Furthermore, polymer hardeners can also be preferably used. The polymer hardener is preferably a polymer having an active vinyl group or a group that is a precursor thereof, and in particular, a long spacer as described in JP-A No. 56-142524 is used to harden an active vinyl group or its precursor. Particularly preferred are polymers in which the body groups are bonded to the main chain of the polymer. The amount of these hardeners added to achieve the above swelling percentage varies depending on the type of hardener used and the type of gelatin. In the rapid processing of the present invention, it is preferred that the emulsion layer and/or other hydrophilic colloid layers contain organic substances that would flow out during the development process. When the substance to be discharged is gelatin, it is preferable to use a type of gelatin that is not involved in the crosslinking reaction of gelatin by a hardening agent, such as acetylated gelatin or phthalated gelatin, and preferably one with a small molecular weight. On the other hand, as a polymer substance other than gelatin, U.S. Patent No. 3,271,158
