  • Patent number: 5300409
    Abstract: A method of processing a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material is disclosed. The method comprises a processing steps of developing, fixing and a washing or stabilizing, wherein a replenishing solution for the washing or the stabilizing step is an amount of not more than 3 liters per square meter of the light-sensitive material. The photographic material comprises a support, and a hydrophilic colloidal layer on each of the both side of the support, wherein either one of the hydrophilic colloidal layers contains a dye represented by a specific chemical formula.

  • Patent number: 5130212
    Abstract: A process for producing a silver halide photographic material that has at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support, in which process at least 10 mg of a calcium salt per mole of silver halide is added during the period from the completion of physical ripening a silver halide emulsion to the completion of its chemical ripening together with at least one compound represented by the following general formula (I) and at least one compound represented by the following general formula (II): ##STR1## where R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 which may be the same or different are each a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; A.sub.1 -A.sub.6 are each a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a halogen atom or a phenyl group, provided that adjacent atoms or groups may combine to form a ring; X is an anion; and n is 0 or 1, provided that n =0 when an intramolecular salt is formed; ##STR2## wherein Z.sub.

  • Patent number: H1092
    Abstract: A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. The silver halide emulsion layer of the light-sensitive material is sensitized in infrared region of the spectrum by a cationic di- or tri-carbocyanine sensitizing dye and a compound represented by formula I, II, or III; ##STR1## The light-sensitive material is improved in stability of the coating solution of the silver halide emulsion for standing during in its production process and also improved in stability for prolonged storage after production.
