Abstract
Abstract A silver halide photographic material is disclosed. It contains per 100 g of silver at least 40 mg of a water-soluble compound comprising an element of group VIII of the periodic table and having a molecular weight of at least 100, and 1.2 to 120 mg of a black-and-white silver halide developing agent. The material has improved gradation characteristics and is subject to minimum variation in photographic characteristics.
