摘要:
The invention relates to an ultrahigh contrast photographic material comprising a support bearing a silver halide emulsion layer, containing a hydrazide nucleating agent in the emulsion layer or a hydrophilic colloid layer, characterized in that the nucleating agent is a dimeric molecule comprising two monomers linked by a linking group, each monomer of which (a) may be the same or different and (b) comprises an acylhydrazide moiety and a nicotinamide moiety in combination, the material providing unexpectedly good nucleation in the absence of, or with reduced amounts of, booster and in a developer whose pH is variable, and further with lower chemical spread and pepper fog.

摘要:
The invention relates to an ultrahigh contrast photographic material comprising a support bearing a silver halide emulsion layer, containing a combination of two or more hydrazide nucleating agents in the emulsion layer and/or a hydrophilic colloid layer, characterized in that the combination comprises a nucleating agent(s) of formulae (I) and/or (I) with a nucleator of formula (III), in which the nucleating agent of formula (I) comprises (a) two nicotinamide moieties, which may be the same or different, which are linked by a linking group, and (b) a hydrazide moiety linked to only one of those nicotinamide moieties; the nucleating agent of formula (II) comprises a dimeric molecule comprising two monomers linked by a linking group, each monomer of which (a) may be the same or different and (b) comprises a hydrazide moiety and a nicotinamide moiety; and the nucleating agent of formula (III) comprises an aryl sulfonamido aryl hydrazide. The combination of nucleating agents show less sensitivity to variation in the development conditions than do the individual nucleating types, leading to significant improvements in processing robustness with less change in image quality with processing and tolerance to a wider range of developer solutions.
摘要:
The invention relates to an ultrahigh contrast photographic material comprising a support bearing a silver halide emulsion layer, containing a hydrazide nucleating agent in the emulsion layer or a hydrophilic colloid layer, characterised in that the nucleating agent of formula (I) comprises (a) two nicotinamide moieties, which may be the same or different, which are linked by a linking group, and (b) a hydrazide moiety linked to only one of the nicotinamide moieties. The nucleator of formula (I) may be in combination with a nucleator of formula (II) which comprises a dimeric molecule comprising two monomers linked by a linking group, each monomer of which (a) may be the same or different and (b) comprises a hydrazide moiety and a nicotinamide moiety. The photographic material provides unexpectedly good nucleation in the absence of, or with reduced amounts of, booster and in a developer whose pH is variable, and further with lower chemical spread and pepper fog. When the synthesis provides both a compound of formula (I) and (II), the products can be used directly without a separation step, providing a cost advantage.
摘要:
A photosensitive photographic silver halide material comprising a support bearing a layer of a silver halide emulsion comprising at least 50% silver chloride which contains in or adjacent the emulsion layer a hydrazide nucleating agent and an amine booster, the combination of which is capable of providing high contrast images, which emulsion is sensitised with a dye of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are individually hydrogen, or halogen atom or an alkyl group of 1-4 carbon atoms, a sulfoalkyl, a trifluoromethyl, or cyano group, R.sup.3 is an alkyl or substituted alkyl group, R.sup.4 is a sulfoalkyl group, and R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are individually an alkyl or substituted alkyl group, andwherein there is the necessary counter-ion.
摘要:
High contrast graphic arts photographic materials exhibiting improved accuracy in image reproduction are comprised of a support, a silver halide emulsion layer having a chloride content of at least 50 mole percent, and a non-electroconductive hydrophilic colloid layer containing both a vinyl polymer and a hydrophilic colloid interposed between the support and the silver halide emulsion layer. A hydrazine nucleating agent is incorporated in or adjacent to the silver halide emulsion layer and the photographic material preferably also contains an amino compound which functions as a booster.
