Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A method for preparing a dispersion of stabilized hydrophilic color coupler in a gelatin silver halide emulsion which comprises dissolving said hydrophilic color coupler in a high boiling, photographically inert ester and a diepoxide, dispersing the coupler-ester solution in an aqueous gel solution containing a suitable anionic surfactant to form a first dispersion and adding this dispersion to an aqueous gelatin silver halide gel emulsion.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
65 words
A method for preparing a dispersion of stabilized hydrophilic color coupler in a gelatin silver halide emulsion which comprises dissolving said hydrophilic color coupler in a high boiling, photographically inert ester and a diepoxide, dispersing the coupler-ester solution in an aqueous gel solution containing a suitable anionic surfactant to form a first dispersion and adding this dispersion to an aqueous gelatin silver halide gel emulsion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the anionic surfactant is sodium alkyl napthalene sulfonate.
