Silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material and method and apparatus for forming images using the same

Claim 1

A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having provided thereon three light-sensitive units each having a different color-sensitivity, wherein one of said light-sensitive units is a white-sensitive unit having the spectral sensitivity distribution satisfying the following conditions: 0.05≦S 450 /S 550 ≦1.2 and 0.05≦S 600 /S 550 ≦1.2 wherein S 450 , S 550 and S 600 represent sensitivities at 450 nm, 550 nm, and 600 nm respectively; wherein the light-sensitive units other than said white-sensitive unit are two light-sensitive units selected from the group consisting of a blue-sensitive unit, a green-sensitive unit and a red-sensitive unit having the following wavelengths for maximum spectral sensitivity, respectively: 410≦λ Bmax ≦490 nm 510≦λ Gmax ≦590 nm 580≦λ Rmax ≦660 nm wherein λ B max, λ Gmax and λ Rmax represent the wavelengths for maximum spectral sensitivity of the blue-sensitive unit, the green-sensitive unit and the red-sensitive unit, respectively; and wherein a non light-sensitive intermediate layer containing substantially non light-sensitive silver halide grains is formed in a position adjacent to the high-speed white-sensitive layer and/or the high-speed light-sensitive layer of the light-sensitive units other than the white-sensitive unit on the side of these layers facing toward the support.
