Abstract

Abstract A color image is formed in an image forming reaction system comprising a photographic heat-developable silver halide lipht-sensrtive material by reacting a difficultly soluble metal compound, for example, calcium carbonate with a compound capable of water-mediated complexing reaction with the metsl ion of the difficultly soluble metal compound and having an organic base, for example, guanidine oxalate in the presence of water to increase the pH of the system.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 62 words
A process for forming an image in an image forming reaction system comprising a difficultly soluble metal compound and a compound capable of water-mediated complexing reaction with the metal component in ionic form of said difficultly soluble metal compound and having an organic base, wherein said two compounds are reacted in the presence of water to increase the pH of the system.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 62 words
A process for forming an image in an image forming reaction system comprising a difficultly soluble metal compound and a compound capable of water-mediated complexing reaction with the metal component in ionic form of said difficultly soluble metal compound and having an organic base, wherein said two compounds are reacted in the presence of water to increase the pH of the system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
An image forming process according to claim 1 wherein said system further comprises a photographic heat-developable silver halide light-sensitive material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 64 words
An image forming process according to claim 1 wherein said difficultly soluble metal compound is selected from the group consisting of carbonate salts, phosphate salts, silicate salts, borate salts, aluminate salts, hydroxides, oxides, and double salts thereof, provided that they have a solubility in water at 20°C of 0.5 or less as expressed in grams of the compound dissolved in 100 grams of water.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 37 words
An image forming process according to claim 1 wherein said complexing compound is selected from aromatic heterocyclic compounds having at least one -COOHM and containing one nitrogen atom in their ring wherein M is an organic base.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 19 words
An image forming process according to claim 4 wherein the aromatic heterocyclic compound contains a pyridine or quinoline ring.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
An image forming process according to claim 4 wherein ' -COOHM is attached to the ring at the a-position thereof relative to the N atom.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 90 words
An image forming process according to claim 1 wherein said complexing compound is selected from compounds having the general formula: wherein R represents an electron donative radical selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom, aryl radicals, halogen atoms, alkoxy radicals, -COOM, hydroxycarbonyl radical, amino and substituted amino radicals, and alkyl radicals, the two R's may be the same or different, Z and Z 2 are as defined for R and may be combined together to form a ring fused to the pyridine ring, and M is an organic base.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 29 words
An image forming process according to claim 1 wherein the difficultly soluble metal compound and the complexing compound are independently contained in at least one layer on separate supports.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 29 words
An image forming process according to claim 1 wherein the difficultly soluble metal compound is contained in a light-sensitive material and the complexing compound contained in an image-receiving material.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 41 words
An image forming process according to claim 1 wherein each of the difficultly soluble metal compound and the complexing compound is used in an amount of up to 50% by weight based on the weight of a coating containing the compound.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 41 words
An image forming process according to claim 10 wherein each of the difficultly soluble metal compound and the complexing compound is used in an amount of 0.01 to 40% by weight based on the weight of a coating containing the compound.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 19 words
An image forming process according to claim 1 wherein the system contains a silver halide as the light-sensitive material.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 53 words
An image forming process according to claim 2 wherein a diffusible dye produced at sites corresponding or counter- curresponding to silver images is transferred to an image-receiving layer at the same time as development by heating in the presence of a small amount of water after imagewise exposure or simultaneously with imagewise exposure.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 46 words
An image forming process according to claim 9 wherein water is supplied in an amount ranging from one tenth of the weight of overall coatings of the light-sensitive and image-receiving materials to the weight of solvent corresponding to the maximum swollen volume of the overall coatings.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 34 words
An image forming process according to claim 14 wherein water is supplied in an amount of 1 to 50 grams per square meter of the combined surfaces of the light-sensitive material and image-receiving material.
