  • Patent number: 7105286
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic material comprising a paper support having resin layers coated on both sides of a base paper, and in particular, to a silver halide photographic material exhibiting superior glossiness and improved sharpness, long-term stability, fingerprint resistance and pressure resistance. The silver halide photographic material comprising on one side of the paper support having resin coat layers on both sides of a base paper, one or more light-sensitive layers and one or more light-insensitive layers, wherein after the photographic material of an L-size (having a length of 89 mm in a machine direction of the base paper and a length of 127 mm vertical to the machine direction) is processed, the photographic material exhibits an image clarity (C-value) of 20% to 60% which is determined using a 1.

  • Patent number: 5914224
    Abstract: A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. It comprising at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one non-light-sensitive layer on a support and the non-light-sensitive layer contains porous fine particles of 400 mg per 1 m.sup.2 or more and the material is hardened utilizing at least one of vinyl sulfone hardener, carboxyl-activating hardener or polymeric hardener.

  • Patent number: 5571661
    Abstract: A silver halide light-sensitive color photographic materials is disclosed. The material comprises a compound which releases, upon reaction with an oxidation product of a color developing agent, a 2-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative represented by formula I: ##STR1## wherein L.sub.1 represents a linkage or a divalent linking group; R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; n represents an integer of one, two or three; and m represents an integer of zero, one or two, provided that sum of m and n is three.The color photographic material produces a dye image having enhanced image-sharpness, showing large inter-image effect with reduced reduction of gamma in the layer, to which the coupler is incorporated and having improved stability with the lapse of time during storage.
