Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance color reproduction performance by specifying the relation between the sensitivity of a silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye forming coupler and the sensitivity of a silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta dye forming coupler. CONSTITUTION:The silver halide emulsion layer contains as the yellow dye forming coupler the compound represented by formula I and the maximum sensitivity (SY) of the layer in the wavelength giving the maximum spectral sensitivity to the layer and the maximum sensitivity (SM) of the silver halide emulsion layer containing the magenta dye forming coupler have a relationship satisfying the following expression: log(SY/SM)>=1.7. In formula I, R1 is aryl or tertiary alkyl; R2 is F, alkyl, aryl, or the like; R3 is a group substitutable on the benzene ring; X is H or the like; l is an integer of 0 - 4, thus permitting the obtained photosensitive material to be superior in color reproduction performance.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material for printing, and more specifically, to color reproduction during printing from a color negative film (hereinafter referred to as color negative). This invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material for printing which has excellent properties.

(Conventional technology) One way to obtain color prints is to shoot with color negatives (
A widely used method is to print both images on a silver halide color photosensitive material f4-VC for printing. The degree to which the finished color print can faithfully reproduce the colors of the original subject not only depends on the performance of the color negative, but also greatly depends on the performance of the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material used for printing. Needless to say, there are. For this reason, various studies have been conducted on halogenated color photographic materials for printing with excellent color reproduction from a 721' perspective. They often have an orange or brownish-green flavor.

The present inventors have continued to investigate silver halide color photographic materials for printing that are improved in this respect.

The ability of the resulting color print to reproduce a wide range of colors is limited by the absorption properties of the yellow, magenta, and cyan dyes used. If the light absorption group of the dye is broad or if there is undesirable side absorption, the color becomes cloudy. For example, in the case of yellow dye-forming couplers, an attempt was made to make the light absorption profile of the dye sharper and shorter in wavelength.

and JP-A No. 1999-10114A. However, when these couplers are used in a nest color light-sensitive material system consisting only of a silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye-forming coupler, a clear yellow dye image without turbidity can be obtained, but a cyan dye-forming coupler, In the system of a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having a small number of silver halide emulsion layers containing a magenta dye-forming coupler and a yellow dye-forming coupler, the expected effect was not obtained, and lemon yellow There was no noticeable improvement in the color reproduction of bright greens or bright greens.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, when printing from a color negative, color reproduction, especially of lemon yellow and bright green, is significantly impaired. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to overcome this problem and provide a silver halide color photographic material with excellent color reproduction.

(III!l Means for Solving the Problem) For the purpose of the present invention, a silver halide emulsion *1 each containing a cyan dye-forming coupler, a magenta dye-forming coupler, and a yellow dye-forming coupler is provided on a support. In a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, a wavelength that contains a compound represented by formula (1) as a yellow dye-forming coupler and gives the maximum value of spectral sensitivity of a silver halide emulsion layer containing the yellow dye-forming coupler In. Sensitivity (SY) of a silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye-forming coupler and sensitivity (SY) of an I-halogenated tuna emulsion layer containing a magenta dye-forming coupler.

This was achieved using a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material that satisfies log(SY/8M)≧1.7.

The color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention can be constructed by coating a support with at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer. . In general color photographic paper, the coating is usually applied to the support in the above order, but the order may be different from this. Furthermore, an infrared-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer can be used in place of at least one of the above-mentioned emulsion layers. These light-sensitive emulsion layers contain a silver halide emulsion sensitive to each wavelength range, and dyes that are complementary colors to the light to which they are exposed - yellow for blue, magenta for edges, and cyan for red.
By containing a so-called color coupler that forms a color, subtractive color reproduction can be performed. However, the coloring hues of the photosensitive layer and the coupler may not correspond as described above.

As the silver halide emulsion used in the present invention, one consisting of silver chlorobromide or silver chloride which does not substantially damage silver iodide can be preferably used. Here, "substantially free of silver iodide" means that the silver iodide content is 1 mol% or less, preferably 0.2 mol% or less. The halogen composition of the emulsion may be different or the same among the grains, but if an emulsion having the same halogen composition among the grains is used, it is easy to make the properties of each grain uniform. In addition, regarding the halogen composition distribution inside silver halide emulsion grains, there are grains with a so-called uniform structure in which the composition is the same in every part of the silver halide grain, and grains with a core inside the silver halide grain and a shell surrounding it. (Shell) [-layer or multiple layers] Particles with a so-called layered structure in which the halogen composition is different, or structures having parts with different halogen compositions in a non-layered manner inside or on the particle surface (if it is on the surface of the particle, the edge of the particle , a structure in which portions of different compositions are joined on a corner or surface) can be appropriately selected and used. In order to obtain high sensitivity, it is more advantageous to use one of the latter than particles with a uniform structure, and it is also preferable from the viewpoint of pressure resistance. When silver halide grains have the above-mentioned structure, even if the boundaries between parts with different halogen compositions are clear boundaries, the boundaries may be unclear due to the formation of mixed crystals due to compositional differences. It is also possible to actively have continuous structural changes.

Regarding the halogen composition of these silver chlorobromide emulsions, any silver bromide/silver chloride ratio can be used. Although this ratio can vary widely depending on the purpose, a silver chloride ratio of 2% or more is preferably used.

Furthermore, so-called high-silver chloride emulsions having a high silver chloride content are preferably used in light-sensitive materials suitable for rapid processing. The chloride chain content of these high silver chloride emulsions is preferably 90 mol% or more,

The amount of replenishment of these developing solutions depends on the color photographic light-sensitive material being processed, but it is generally less than 31 per square meter of light-sensitive material, and by reducing the bromide ion concentration in the replenisher, it can be reduced to less than 500. It can also be done. When reducing the amount of replenishment, it is preferable to prevent evaporation of the liquid and air oxidation by reducing the area of contact with the air in the processing tank. The contact area between the photographic processing solution and air in the processing tank can be expressed by the aperture ratio defined below. That is, aperture ratio=contact area between treatment liquid and air (Cm2)/capacity of treatment liquid (Cm') The above-mentioned aperture ratio is preferably 0.1 or less, more preferably 0.001 to 0.05. It is.

As a method for reducing the aperture ratio in this way, in addition to providing a shield such as a floating lid on the surface of the photographic processing solution in the processing tank, methods using a movable lid described in Japanese Patent Application No. 62-241342, Examples include the slit development processing method described in No. 111863-216050.

It is preferable to reduce the aperture ratio not only in both color development and black-and-white development, but also in all subsequent steps, such as bleaching, bleach-fixing, fixing, washing, and stabilization.

Furthermore, the amount of replenishment can be reduced by using means for suppressing the accumulation of bromide ions in the developer.

The time for color development processing is usually set between 2 and 5 minutes, but the processing time can be further shortened by using high temperature, high pH, and high concentration of color developing agent.

After color development, the photographic emulsion layer is usually bleached.

The bleaching process may be carried out simultaneously with the fixing process (bleach-fixing process) or separately. Furthermore, in order to speed up the processing, a processing method may be used in which bleaching is followed by bleach-fixing. Furthermore, depending on the purpose, treatment may be carried out in two consecutive bleach-fixing baths, fixing treatment before bleach-fixing treatment, or bleaching treatment after bleach-fixing treatment. As the bleaching agent, for example, a compound of a polyvalent metal such as iron (III) is used. Typical bleaching agents include organic complex salts of iron (III), such as aminopolymer salts such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid, and glycol ether diaminetetraacetic acid. Carboxylic acids or citric acid, tartaric acid,
Complex salts such as malic acid can be used. Among these, the patented nobolycarboxylic acid iron (11) complex salt characterized by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid iron (I[I) complex salt is preferred from the viewpoint of rapid processing and prevention of environmental pollution. Furthermore, T-minopolycarboxylic acid iron(III) #1f salt is particularly useful in both bleach and bleach-fix solutions. The pH of the bleaching solution or bleach-fixing solution using these mininopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salts is usually 4.0 to 8.0, but the pH is 6.0 to 8.0 to speed up the processing. Second, it is also possible to process at even lower pH.

A bleach accelerator may be used in the bleaching solution, bleach-fixing solution, and their prebaths, if necessary.

Specific examples of useful bleach accelerators are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,893,858, West German Patent Section 1.

All known methods described in No. 0345 and the like can be used.

In addition to sono, it is also a preferred embodiment to use chelating agents such as 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid and ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonic acid, and magnesium and bismuth compounds.

A so-called rinsing solution is also used as a washing solution or stabilizing solution used after desilvering treatment.

Preferable water washing step or stabilization step, pl+ is 4 to 10
and more preferably 5-8. The temperature can be set in various ways depending on the use and characteristics of the photosensitive material.1. Generally 15~
The temperature is 45°C, preferably 20 to 40°C. Although the time can be set arbitrarily, a shorter time is preferable from the viewpoint of reducing processing time. Favorable-1: L< is 15 seconds to 1 minute 45 seconds, more preferably 30 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds. The smaller the amount of replenishment, the better from the viewpoints of running costs, reduced emissions, ease of handling, etc.

A specific preferable replenishment amount is 0.5 to 50 times, preferably 3 to 40 times, the amount brought in from the previous bath per unit area of the photosensitive material. Or, it is 11 or less, preferably 500 or less, per 1rrI of the photosensitive material. Further, replenishment may be performed continuously or intermittently.

The liquid used in the water washing and/or stabilization step can also be used in the previous step. An example of this is to reduce the amount of waste liquid by using a multi-stage counter-current system to allow the overflow of the wash water to flow into the bleach-fix bath, which is a pre-bath, and to replenish the bleach-fix bath with concentrated liquid.
