Abstract
A silver halide color photographic material is disclosed, comprising on a reflective support yellow, magenta and cyan image forming layers, each containing silver halide grains having a chloride content of not less than 90 mol %, wherein a fog density of A(λ) and a maximum density of B(λ) at a wavelength of λ nm of the photographic material which has been exposed and processed, and a fog density of A′(λ) at a wavelength of λ nm of the photographic material which has been subjected to overall exposure to radiation of 300 mR, then, exposed and processed, satisfy the following equations (I), (II) and (III): B(450)/[A′(450)−A(450)]≧60 (I) B(550)/[A′(550)−A(550)]≧160 (II) B(650)/[A′(650)−A(650)]≧260 (III).
Claims11
A silver halide color photographic material comprising on a reflective support an yellow image forming layer, a magenta image forming layer and a cyan image forming layer, each of which contains silver halide grains having a chloride content of not less than 90 mol %, wherein the photographic material satisfies at least one of the following equations (I), (II) and (III):
- B(450)/[A′(450)−A(450)]≧60 (I)
- B(550)/[A′(550)−A(550)]≧160 (II)
- B(650)/[A′(650)−A(650)]≧260 (III)
- wherein A(450), A(550) and A(650) represent fog densities of unexposed areas at wavelengths of 450 nm, 550 and 650 nm, respectively and B(450), B(550) and B(650) represent maximum densities at wavelengths of 450=m, 550 and 650 nm, respectively, when the photographic material is subjected to imagewise exposure and color processing;
- and A′(450), A′(550) and A′(650) represent densities of unexposed areas at wavelengths of 450 nm, 550 and 650 nm, respectively, when the photographic material is subjected to overall exposure to a radiation of 300 mR and then further subjected to imagewise exposure and color processing.
