Abstract

Abstract A process for processing a silver halide color photographic material is disclosed, which comprises color developing and bleach-fixing the silver halide color photographic material, and then processing by at least one of washing the material with water and stabilizing the material, the silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one emulsion layer comprising a high silver chloride emulsion having a silver chloride content of 80 mol % or more and a used bleach-fixing solution which has been already used for the bleach-fixing, having a silver ion concentration of 0.02 mol/liter or more being used as a bleach-fixing solution for replenishment. In one embodiment, the silver halide color photographic material contains at least one yellow coupler represented by formula (I): ##STR1## wherein X represents a substituent, and Y represents a releasing group represented by ##STR2## wherein Z represents a heterocyclic ring, and m represents an integer of 1 to 5, wherein the silver halide is coated at a silver amount of 0.4 to 0.8 g/m 2 of the silver halide photographic material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 125 words
A process for processing a silver halide color photographic material, which comprises color developing and bleach-fixing said silver halide color photographic material, and then processing by at least one of washing said material with water and stabilizing said material, said silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one emulsion layer comprising a high silver chloride emulsion having a silver chloride content of 80 mol % or more and a used bleach-fixing solution which has been already used for said bleach-fixing, having a silver ion concentration of 0.02 mol/liter or more being used as a bleach-fixing solution for replenishment, wherein the silver halide is coated at a silver amount of 0.4 to 0.8 g/m 2 of the silver halide photographic material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 125 words
A process for processing a silver halide color photographic material, which comprises color developing and bleach-fixing said silver halide color photographic material, and then processing by at least one of washing said material with water and stabilizing said material, said silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one emulsion layer comprising a high silver chloride emulsion having a silver chloride content of 80 mol % or more and a used bleach-fixing solution which has been already used for said bleach-fixing, having a silver ion concentration of 0.02 mol/liter or more being used as a bleach-fixing solution for replenishment, wherein the silver halide is coated at a silver amount of 0.4 to 0.8 g/m 2 of the silver halide photographic material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 52 words
The process as in claim 1, wherein said silver halide color photographic material contains at least one yellow coupler represented by formula (I): ##STR62## wherein X represents a substituent, Y represents a releasing group represented by ##STR63## wherein Z represents a heterocyclic ring, and m represents an integer of 1 to 5.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
The process as in claim 1, wherein said high silver chloride emulsion has a silver chloride content of 95 mol % or more.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process as in claim 1, wherein said used bleach-fixing solution has a silver ion concentration of 0.02 to 0.4 mol/liter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 63 words
The process as in claim 2, wherein X represents at least one group selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom, an alkoxy group, a --NHCOR 1 group, a --NHSO 2 --R 1 group, a --SO 2 NHR 1 group, a --COOR 1 group, and a ##STR64## group, wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 20 words
The process as in claim 1, wherein said used bleach-fixing solution is not subjected to the removal of silver ion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 16 words
The process as in claim 1, wherein said silver ion concentration is 0.04 to 0.3 mol/liter.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process as in claim 1, wherein said silver halide color photographic material is bleach-fixed immediately after color development.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 16 words
The process as in claim 1, wherein said bleach-fixing solution for replenishment contains a regenerating agent.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 24 words
The process as in claim 1, wherein said silver halide color photographic material is bleach-fixed at a bleach-fixing time of 10 to 60 seconds.
