Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, and more particularly to a light-sensitive material excellent in sharpness and processability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in color photographic light-sensitive materials,
In order to meet the needs of users, we have increased the sensitivity of photosensitive materials,
Higher image quality is being promoted. Among the latter, the improvement of sharpness is being developed as a central issue for improving the image quality of color photographic light-sensitive materials, along with the improvement of color reproducibility and the improvement of graininess.

On the other hand, there is an increasing demand for improvement in development processing stability of light-sensitive materials, and the storage condition of the processing solution is poor at some development sites, the color balance of the color image is lost, and the image quality is seriously deteriorated. is there. Therefore, the problem of processing stability has recently attracted attention as one of the performances required for a light-sensitive material.

As one means for improving the sharpness, a color mixing inhibitor is generally used for thinning a non-photosensitive intermediate layer in a color light-sensitive material.

The color mixing preventive agent will be described below. The formation of a dye image in a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is usually oxidized when an aromatic primary amine color developing agent reduces silver halide grains in the exposed silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, This oxidant is formed by causing a coupling reaction with a coupler previously contained in the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material. At this time, it is well known that undesired color turbidity (interlayer color mixing) occurs when the developed developing agent oxidant diffuses into different color sensitive layers to develop color, which adversely affects color reproducibility. Further, it is known that color fog occurs during color development due to air oxidation of the developing agent, fog of the emulsion, and the like. In the following, this color turbidity and color fog will be collectively referred to as color contamination. As a means for preventing these color stains, it is generally made to add a compound (hereinafter referred to as a color mixing inhibitor) that reduces an oxidized product of a developing agent to an intermediate layer mainly between different color-sensitive layers, and in many cases hydroquinone is added. Derivatives have been used.

As a color mixture preventing agent, US Pat.
No. 028, No. 2710801, JP-A-57-1794.
No. 9, No. 61-169844, and the like, polymer compounds similar to the compound of the present invention are described, and it is shown that they are materials that prevent color mixing with a small addition amount.

On the other hand, benzoylacetanilide type couplers and pivaloylacetanilide type couplers have been widely known as yellow couplers.

However, according to the present inventors, when the above-mentioned polymer compound is used in combination with a known acylacetanilide type yellow coupler, the photographic properties are greatly changed due to the change in the amount of the color developing agent in the color developing solution. There was a problem in processing stability and it was desired to solve it.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide a color light-sensitive material having excellent sharpness. Secondly, it is to provide an excellent color light-sensitive material having little variation in photographic property with respect to variation in composition of a color developing solution when used in a color light-sensitive material.

May be. Any one of the above steps 1) to 3) and any one of steps 4) to 15) are connected to form a color reversal step.

Next, the processing liquid in the color reversal processing step of the present invention will be described.

Known developing agents can be used in the black and white developing solution used in the present invention. As a developing agent,
Dihydroxybenzenes (eg hydroquinone),
3-Pyrazolidones (eg 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone), aminophenols (eg N-methyl-p-aminophenol), 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolines, ascorbic acid and U.S. Pat. No. 4,067,8.
The heterocyclic compounds such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline ring and indrene ring described in No. 72 can be used alone or in combination. In the black-and-white developer used in the present invention, other preservatives (eg, sulfite, bisulfite, etc.), buffers (eg,
Carbonates, boric acid, borates, alkanolamines), alkaline agents (eg hydroxides, carbonates), dissolving tablets (eg polyethylene glycols, their esters),
pH adjusters (eg organic acids such as acetic acid), sensitizers (eg quaternary ammonium salts), development accelerators, surfactants,
An antifoaming agent, a film hardening agent, a viscosity imparting agent and the like can be contained. The black-and-white developing solution used in the present invention needs to contain a compound acting as a silver halide solvent, and the sulfite salt added as the above preservative usually plays a role. Specific examples of the sulfite and other silver halide solvents that can be used include KSCN, NaSCN, K ₂ SO.
₃ , Na ₂ SO ₃ , K ₂ S ₂ O ₅ , Na ₂ S ₂ O ₅ , K
Such as _{2 S 2 O 3, Na 2} S 2 O 3 can be mentioned. The pH value of the developer thus adjusted is selected to a degree sufficient to give a desired density and contrast,
It is in the range of about 8.5 to 11.5. In order to carry out the sensitizing process using such a black-and-white developing solution, it is usually necessary to extend the time up to about 3 times the standard process. At this time, if the processing temperature is raised, the extension time for the sensitization processing can be shortened.

The color developing solution and the black and white developing solution generally have a pH of 9 to 12. The replenishment amount of these developing solutions depends on the color photographic light-sensitive material to be processed, but is generally 3 liters or less per 1 square meter of the light-sensitive material, and 500 ml or less by reducing the bromide ion concentration in the replenishing solution. You can also do it. When the replenishment amount is reduced, it is preferable to prevent the liquid evaporation and air oxidation by reducing the contact area with the air in the processing tank. The contact area between the photographic processing liquid and air in the processing tank can be represented by the aperture ratio defined below. That is, aperture ratio = (contact area between treatment liquid and air (cm ² )) ÷ (volume of treatment liquid (cm ³ )) The above aperture ratio is preferably 0.1 or less, more preferably 0. 0.001 to 0.05. As a method of 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 liquid in the processing tank, JP-A-1-82
No. 033, a method using a movable lid, JP-A-63-63
-216050 can be mentioned as a slit developing treatment method. To reduce the aperture ratio, not only the steps of color development and black and white development, but also the subsequent steps,
For example, it is preferably applied in all steps such as bleaching, bleach-fixing, fixing, washing with water, stabilization and the like. Further, the amount of replenishment can be reduced by using a means for suppressing the accumulation of bromide ions in the developing solution. The reversal bath used after black and white development may contain a known fogging agent. That is, stannous ion-organic phosphoric acid complex salt (US Pat. No. 3,617,282), stannous ion organic phosphonocarboxylic acid complex salt (Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-32616), stannous ion-aminopolycarboxylic acid. First such as complex salt (US Pat. No. 1,209,050)

984,567), a heterocyclic amine borane compound (British Patent No. 1,011,000), and the like, and the like, and the like. PH of this fogging bath (inversion bath)
Has a wide range from the acidic side to the alkaline side, and has a pH of 2 to 12, preferably 2.5 to 10, and particularly preferably 3 to 9. Instead of the reversal bath, a light reversal treatment by re-exposure may be performed, and the reversal step may be omitted by adding the fogging agent to the color developing solution. The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention is bleached or bleach-fixed after color development. These treatments may be carried out immediately after the color development without passing through other processing steps, in order to prevent unnecessary post-development and air fog, and to reduce the carry-in of the color developing solution to the desilvering process. In addition, in order to wash out and detoxify the sensitizing dyes and dyes contained in the photographic light-sensitive material and the color-developing agent impregnated in the photographic light-sensitive material, stop, adjust, and wash with water after color development processing. A bleaching treatment or a bleach-fixing treatment may be carried out after the treatment steps such as.

The photographic emulsion layer of the color developing solution is usually bleached. The bleaching process and the fixing process may be performed simultaneously (bleach-fixing process), or may be performed separately. Further, in order to speed up the processing, a processing method of bleach-fixing processing after bleaching processing may be used. Further, treatment with two continuous bleach-fixing baths, fixing treatment before the bleach-fixing treatment, or bleaching treatment after the bleach-fixing treatment can be optionally carried out. As the bleaching agent, compounds of polyvalent metals such as iron (III), peracids, quinones, nitro compounds and the like are used. As a typical bleaching agent, organic complex salt of iron (III),
For example, aminopolycarboxylic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, methyliminodiacetic acid, 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid, glycol etherdiaminetetraacetic acid, or complex salts of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, etc. Etc. can be used. Of these, aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salts including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid iron (III) complex salts and 1,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid iron (III) complex salts are preferable from the viewpoint of rapid treatment and prevention of environmental pollution. .. Further, the aminopolycarboxylic acid iron (III) complex salt is particularly useful in both the bleaching solution and the bleach-fixing solution. The pH of a bleaching solution or a bleach-fixing solution using these iron (III) aminopolycarboxylic acid complex salts is usually 4.0 to 8, but a lower pH can be used for speeding up the processing. If necessary, a bleaching accelerator can be used in the bleaching solution, the bleach-fixing solution and their pre-bath. Specific examples of useful bleach accelerators are described in the following specifications: US Pat. No. 3,893,858, West German Patent 1,290,

Compounds described in US Pat. Furthermore, US Pat.
The compounds described in No. 52,834 are also preferable. These bleaching accelerators may be added to the light-sensitive material. These bleaching accelerators are particularly effective when bleach-fixing a color light-sensitive material for photographing.

In addition to the above compounds, the bleaching solution and the bleach-fixing solution preferably contain an organic acid for the purpose of preventing bleach stain. Particularly preferred organic acids are compounds having an acid dissociation constant (pKa) of 2 to 5, and specifically acetic acid, propionic acid, hydroxyacetic acid and the like are preferred.

Examples of the fixing agent used in the fixing solution or the bleach-fixing solution include thiosulfates, thiocyanates, thioether compounds, thioureas and a large amount of iodide salts. Use of thiosulfates Is generally used, and ammonium thiosulfate is most widely used. Further, the combined use of thiosulfate and thiocyanate, thioether compounds, thiourea and the like is also preferable. As a preservative for the fixing solution and the bleach-fixing solution, sulfites, bisulfites, carbonyl bisulfite adducts or sulfinic acid compounds described in European Patent 294769A are preferable. Further, various aminopolycarboxylic acids and organic phosphonic acids are preferably added to the fixing solution and the bleach-fixing solution for the purpose of stabilizing the solution. The total time of the desilvering process is preferably as short as possible in the range where desilvering failure does not occur. Preferred time is 1 minute to 3 minutes, more preferably 1 minute to
2 minutes. The processing temperature is 25 ° C to 50 ° C, preferably 35 ° C to 45 ° C. In the preferable temperature range, the desilvering rate is improved and the stain generation after the processing is effectively prevented. In the desilvering process, it is preferable that the stirring is strengthened as much as possible. As a specific method for strengthening the stirring, a method of causing a jet of a processing solution to collide with the emulsion surface of the light-sensitive material described in JP-A-62-183460, or stirring using a rotating means of JP-A-62-183461. Method to increase the effect, further moving the photosensitive material while contacting the emulsion surface with the wiper blade provided in the solution, to improve the stirring effect by making the emulsion surface turbulent, circulation of the entire processing solution There is a method of increasing the flow rate. Such a stirring improving means is effective in any of the bleaching solution, the bleach-fixing solution and the fixing solution. It is considered that the improvement of the stirring speeds up the supply of the bleaching agent and the fixing agent into the emulsion film and, as a result, increases the desilvering rate. Further, the above-mentioned stirring improving means is more effective when a bleaching accelerator is used, and it is possible to remarkably increase the accelerating effect or eliminate the fixing inhibiting action of the bleaching accelerator. An automatic processor used for the light-sensitive material of the present invention is disclosed in JP-A-60-1912.
57, 60-191258, 60-19125.
It is preferable to have the photosensitive material conveying means described in No. 9. As described in JP-A-60-191257, such a conveying means can significantly reduce the carry-in of the treatment liquid from the front bath to the rear bath and has a high effect of preventing the performance deterioration of the treatment liquid. Such effects are particularly effective in shortening the processing time in each step and reducing the amount of processing liquid replenishment.

The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention is generally washed with water and / or stabilized after the desilvering treatment. The amount of rinsing water in the rinsing process depends on the characteristics of the photosensitive material (for example, depending on the materials used such as couplers), application, and further, the rinsing water temperature, the number of rinsing tanks (number of stages), replenishment system such as countercurrent, forward flow, and other various conditions. It can be set in a wide range.

You can ask. According to the multi-stage countercurrent method described in the document, the amount of washing water can be significantly reduced, but due to the increase in the residence time of water in the tank, bacteria propagate,
There arises a problem that the generated floating matter adheres to the photosensitive material. In the processing of the color light-sensitive material of the present invention, the method of reducing calcium ion and magnesium ion described in JP-A-62-288838 can be used very effectively as a solution to such a problem.
