Abstract

Abstract A color photographic material is provided in which the interimage effect is adjusted to provide optimum color reproduction. The photographic material comprises an emulsion referred to as type I emulsion, which releases an inhibitor on development and another emulsion with underripened grains which are more soluble than those of the type I emulsion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 241 words
Photographic recording material consisting of a layer substrate and at least two silver halide emulsion layers which are sensitive to different regions of the visible spectrum, at least one of which layers contains a silver halide emulsion, hereinafter referred to as type I silver halide emulsion, which releases a development inhibitor on development of the photographic material, and at least one of which layers contains a silver halide emulsion, hereinafter referred to as type II silver halide emulsion, which is capable of being inhibited by the aforesaid inhibitor, wherein the emulsion grains of the type II silver halide emulsion are more easily soluble than the emulsion grains of the type I emulsion and the type II emulsion is not ripened to full sensitivity whereby after its application to a layer substrate and 6 minutes' development at 30° C. in an aqueous developer containing, per liter, 2 g of ethylene diaminotetracetic acid, 0.3 g of 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, 50 g of sodium sulphite, 6 g of hydroquinone, 35 g of sodium carbonate, 215 g of potassium thiocyanate, 2 g of potassium bromide and 0.015 g of potassium iodide, it has a degree of fogging of at the most 25%, the degree of fogging being defined by the quantity of silver, calculated as silver nitrate, and multiplied by 100, situated on the layer substrate after development and fixing divided by the quantity of silver, calculated as silver nitrate, situated on the layer substrate before development.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 241 words
Photographic recording material consisting of a layer substrate and at least two silver halide emulsion layers which are sensitive to different regions of the visible spectrum, at least one of which layers contains a silver halide emulsion, hereinafter referred to as type I silver halide emulsion, which releases a development inhibitor on development of the photographic material, and at least one of which layers contains a silver halide emulsion, hereinafter referred to as type II silver halide emulsion, which is capable of being inhibited by the aforesaid inhibitor, wherein the emulsion grains of the type II silver halide emulsion are more easily soluble than the emulsion grains of the type I emulsion and the type II emulsion is not ripened to full sensitivity whereby after its application to a layer substrate and 6 minutes' development at 30° C. in an aqueous developer containing, per liter, 2 g of ethylene diaminotetracetic acid, 0.3 g of 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, 50 g of sodium sulphite, 6 g of hydroquinone, 35 g of sodium carbonate, 215 g of potassium thiocyanate, 2 g of potassium bromide and 0.015 g of potassium iodide, it has a degree of fogging of at the most 25%, the degree of fogging being defined by the quantity of silver, calculated as silver nitrate, and multiplied by 100, situated on the layer substrate after development and fixing divided by the quantity of silver, calculated as silver nitrate, situated on the layer substrate before development.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
Photographic material according to claim 1, wherein the type I emulsion contains more silver iodide than the type II emulsion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
Photographic material according to claim 1, wherein the type I emulsion contains more silver iodide in addition to silver bromide than the type II emulsion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 38 words
Photographic material according to claim 1, wherein the average grain diameter of the silver halide grains of the type II emulsion is smaller than the average grain diameter of the silver halide grains of the type I emulsion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 28 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the silver halide emulsion layers contains a coupler which produces a dye or a white coupler.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1, wherein it is a recording material for the production of reversal images.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 27 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the type I emulsions has an iodide content of from 1 to 10 mol %.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 27 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the type II emulsions has an iodide content of from 0 to 6 mol %.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 27 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the type I emulsions has an iodide content of from 4 to 8 mol %.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 27 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the type II emulsions has an iodide content of from 0 to 3 mol %.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 22 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1, wherein the degree of fogging of the type II emulsion is at the most 10%.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 24 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1, wherein the type I emulsions and type II emulsions are contained in separate silver halide emulsion layers.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 28 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1, wherein the type I silver halide emulsions and the type II silver halide emulsions are present in the same emulsion layer.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 38 words
Photographic recording material according to claim 1, wherein the type I silver halide emulsions and the type II silver halide emulsions are present both in separate silver halide emulsion layers and in the same silver halide emulsion layer.
