Abstract

Abstract A photographic processing web comprising a support having an absorbent layer for alkaline photographic processing solutions, said layer comprising a cross-linked polymer product of a polymer composed of recurring segments having the structure: WHEREIN K INDICATES ABOUT 64 TO 95 MOLE PERCENT, L INDICATES ABOUT 0 TO 15 MOLE PERCENT, M INDICATES ABOUT 5 TO 20 MOLE PERCENT, N INDICATES ABOUT 0 TO 10 MOLE PERCENT; X is SO3- or SO3Z wherein Z is an alkali metal or hydrogen; R'' is an alkylamino group; Y is a radical containing an active methylene group and R is a phenylene group or the positively charged portion of an inner salt having the structure: WHEREIN A and B are alkylene groups and R'''' is hydrogen or an alkyl group, with the proviso that when R is the positively charged portion of an inner salt, X is SO3-, said layer having incorporated therein a silver precipitating agent.
