Abstract: An ink-jet recording method is disclosed, which comprises the step of jetting a water-based ink on a recording sheet, the recording sheet comprising a support and provided thereon, an ink receiving layer containing a binder, an anionic fluorine-containing surfactant and a cationic fluorine-containing surfactant, wherein the content ratio of the anionic fluorine-containing surfactant to the cationic fluorine-containing surfactant is 1:10 to 10:1 in terms of mole ratio.

Abstract: In an apparatus for processing a silver halide photographic material with a processing solution, a processing agent supply section is movable between a first position and a second position. On the first position, the supply section is brought in connection with a dissolving section in which the agent is dissolved, and on the second position, the supply section is disconnected from the dissolving section. The supply section includes an accommodation member in which the agent is stored, and a supply member to supply the agent into the dissolving section on the second position.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a silver halide photographic material with a processing solution comprises a guide passage constructing member provided between a solid agent replenishing device and a processing solution in a tank. The guide passage constructing member forms a guide passage enclosed with an inner wall surface thereof so as to guide a dropped solid processing agent along the enclosed guide passage into the processing solution. The guide passage constructing member is so arranged that a part of the enclosed guide passage is inclined to a horizontal plane and has a ventilating opening to communicate between an enclosed space in the enclosed guide passage and an outer space of the enclosed guide passage.
