  • Patent number: 4399214
    Abstract: In a process for hardening gelatine containing layers of color photographic multi-layered materials which have a paper laminated with a polyolefin layer arranged on both sides a substrate 1,3,5-triacrylohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine and a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol with 3 to 10 carbon atoms are added to the casting solutions and the casting solutions are then applied to a corona irradiated surface of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 1980
    Date of Patent: August 16, 1983
    Assignee: Agfa-Gevaert Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventor: Karl Lohmer
  • Patent number: 4379828
    Abstract: An image receptor element for the dye diffusion transfer process contains an image-receiving layer, which has increasing dye absorption capacity with increasing distance from the light-sensitive layers. Such an image-receiving layer may be obtained by use of mordants in concentrations which increase with increasing distance from the light-sensitive layers or by use of at least two mordants of different dye absorption capacity, the mordant of higher dye absorption capacity being arranged in a partial layer of the image-receiving layer further away from the light-sensitive layers. Such image receptor elements provide higher dye densities with lower total concentrations of mordants.

  • Patent number: 4297438
    Abstract: Color images are obtained by chromogenic development of a colorphotographic material comprising several differently spectrally sensitized silver halide emulsions and color couplers associated thereto, a hydrophobic cyan coupler being incorporated by means of a hydrophobic coupler solvent and a hydrophobic yellow coupler being incorporated without a coupler solvent, when a color developing composition is used comprising a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic color developer compound. The color images have good stability of the cyan partial image to tropical conditions and good lightfastness of the yellow partial image.

    Inventors: Helmut Haseler, Heinz Meckl, Karl Lohmer, Willibald Pelz
  • Patent number: 4186007
    Abstract: A new process for the regeneration of spent color developers using both an ion exchanger and certain adsorbents is described. This process preserves the capacity of the exchanger to be regenerated.
