  • Publication number: 20020058213
    Abstract: A silver halide photosensitive material in which a noncoloring compound is used as a high-boiling-point organic solvent for dissolving components of the silver halide photosensitive material that have low solubility in water. Preferably, the silver halide photosensitive material has a hydrophilic colloid layer containing a hydrophilic polymer and the noncoloring compound is contained in the hydrophilic colloid layer. The silver halide photosensitive material produces durable colored images, reduces the formation of stains, improves storability, alleviates fogging and soft-toning of emulsion during storage, inhibits migration of a dispersion medium, is inexpensive, and is produced from materials that cause little damage to the environment.
