Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material (hereinafter abbreviated as a light-sensitive material), and particularly, it stabilizes a color image after processing even if washing and / or stabilizing processing is accelerated. It is to provide a processing method having excellent properties.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the method of processing a light-sensitive material, color development, desilvering, washing with water and / or stabilizing treatment are generally carried out. By the way, in recent years, with the spread of in-store processing such as in a minilab, a demand for a shorter delivery time of finishing time is increasing. Therefore, various studies have been made to shorten the processing steps. In particular, with respect to shortening the time of washing and stabilizing treatment, for example, the treatment method described in JP-A-4-3201046 is disclosed. As described in the publication, a light-sensitive material having a yellow dye-forming coupler having an azolyl group discloses that an image having an excellent yellow-color image stability can be obtained to some extent even if it is rapidly processed. However, the color image stability after processing is still insufficient, and the increase in yellow stain in the unexposed area after processing is large, and in particular, the increase in yellow stain is caused by the high concentration of the developing agent in the color developing solution. It has become remarkably large and improvements have been desired. On the other hand, a processing method for obtaining a stable magenta color image even with rapid processing is disclosed, for example, in JP-A-63-27842. According to this processing method, a photosensitive material having a specific 5-pyrazolone type magenta coupler is dried at a temperature of 5 at the drying step.
It is disclosed and disclosed that a stable magenta color image can be obtained by treatment in a stabilizing bath having a temperature of 0 ° C. or higher and / or a pH of 5 or lower. However, the yellow image was not entirely satisfactory.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the object of the present invention is to improve the stability of the yellow color image after the treatment even if the washing and / or stabilizing treatment is speeded up. In particular, the yellow density of the image portion after the treatment is excellent. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, which can remarkably reduce the decrease with time and the increase in yellow stain in an unexposed area.

[0004]

It has been found that the above object can be accomplished satisfactorily by carrying out the following processing method. (1) A silver halide in which a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support is desilvered, washed with water and / or stabilized after color development processing.

It can be easily prepared by the method described in 4,433,048, 4,439,520 and GB 2,112,157. The crystal structure may be uniform, may have different halogen compositions inside and outside, or may have a layered structure. Silver halides having different compositions may be joined by epitaxial joining, and may be joined with a compound other than silver halide such as silver rhodanide and lead oxide. Also, a mixture of particles having various crystal forms may be used. The above emulsion is a surface latent image type that forms a latent image mainly on the surface,
Either an internal latent image type formed inside the grain or a type having a latent image both on the surface and inside may be used, but it is necessary that the emulsion is a negative type. Of the internal latent image types, JP-A-6

The fogged silver halide grain inside or on the surface means a silver halide grain which enables uniform (non-imagewise) development regardless of the unexposed area and exposed area of the light-sensitive material. , Its preparation method is described in US 4,626,498 and JP-A-59-214852. The silver halide forming the inner core of a core / shell type silver halide grain having a fogged inside may have a different halogen composition.

The processing solution having a bleaching ability of the present invention is particularly preferably subjected to aeration during processing because the photographic performance is kept extremely stable. Means known in the art can be used for the aeration, and blowing of air into the processing liquid having a bleaching ability or absorption of air using an ejector can be performed.

The contents of the page, upper right column, line 6 to lower left column, line 2
It can be used as is.

In the desilvering step, it is preferable that the stirring is strengthened as much as possible. Specific examples of the method for strengthening stirring include a method in which a jet of a processing solution is made to collide with the emulsion surface of a light-sensitive material described in JP-A-62-183460, and JP-A-62-1834.
A method of increasing the stirring effect using the rotating means of No. 61, and further moving the light-sensitive material while bringing the emulsion surface into contact with the wiper blade provided in the liquid to make the emulsion surface turbulent, thereby further improving the stirring effect. Examples thereof include a method for improving the method and a method for increasing the circulation flow rate of the entire processing solution. Such a stirring improving means is effective for 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 consequently the desilvering rate. Further, the above-mentioned means for improving the stirring is more effective when a bleaching accelerator is used, and can significantly increase the accelerating effect or eliminate the fixing inhibiting effect of the bleaching accelerator.

Automatic developing machines used in the light-sensitive material of the present invention are disclosed in JP-A-60-191257, JP-A-60-191258 and JP-A-60-1912.
It is preferable to have a photosensitive material conveying means described in No. 59. As described in the above-mentioned JP-A-60-191257, such a conveying means can remarkably reduce the carry-in of the treatment liquid from the front bath to the rear bath, and is highly effective in preventing the performance deterioration of the treatment liquid. Such an effect is particularly effective for reducing the processing time in each step and reducing the replenishing amount of the processing solution.

The processing method of the present invention can be applied to various light-sensitive materials. In particular, a color negative film, a color reversal film, a movie negative film, a movie positive film, and the like can be mentioned, but application to a color negative film is particularly preferable.

Immediately after the treatment, the yellow density of each of the obtained samples was measured with blue light, and its characteristic curve was obtained. Thereafter, each sample was stored under the condition of 60 ° C.-70% RH, and the yellow density was measured 5 days and 4 weeks after the start of storage, and the characteristic curve was obtained. At the exposure amount giving a yellow density of 2.50 immediately after the treatment, the yellow density after storage for 4 weeks was measured, and the density ratio was determined as the yellow color image residual ratio (D%).

D% = (Yellow density after storage for 4 weeks / Yellow density immediately after processing 2.50) × 100 The larger the residual value of the yellow color image, the better the storability of the yellow color image.

In the unexposed area, the difference in yellow density immediately after the treatment and after storage for 5 days was calculated to obtain yellow stain. The larger the yellow stain, the more it yellows when baked on paper, and the smaller the stain, the better. The results obtained are shown in Table II. Experiment Nos. 01 to 63 were performed by combining the above samples 101 to 113 and the above treatment. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
