Abstract: A high-contrast room-light-handleable black-and-white silver halide photographic element that is especially useful in the field of graphic arts is comprised of a support, an imaging layer containing doped silver halide grains with a mean grain size of less than 0.12 micrometers, and a print-out layer containing doped silver halide grains with a mean grain size in the range of from 0.14 to 0.4 micrometers. The element utilizes very slow speed emulsions which render it capable of being handled in room light and is able to print-out a visible image on normal exposure and develop to full density upon being processed in conventional developing solutions.

Abstract: A high-contrast room-light-handleable black-and-white photographic element is comprised of a support having on one side thereof a silver halide emulsion layer and having, on the same side of the support as the silver halide emulsion layer, both a filter dye layer in which the dye is immobile and a matte layer comprised of a matting agent dispersed in a hydrophilic colloid that serves as a binder. In this element, the filter dye layer serves to provide uniform filtering of incident light, while the matte layer provides a rough surface which facilitates rapid vacuum draw-down during contact exposure.

Abstract: A process of contacting two photographic elements by juxtaposing the elements and drawing a vacuum between them is described wherein at least one of the elements has been exposed and processed and comprises a support having thereon, as the outermost layer facing the other element, a matte layer comprising matte particles and a polymeric binder.
