Method for stabilizing silver halide photographic material

A dry method of stabilizing a silver halide photographic print-out material containing a visible image formed therein against substantial changes in density in non-print-out areas, said visible image being printed-out through an image-wise exposure, said material comprising a silver halide emulsion on a support, which silver halide comprises at least 50 mol % silver bromide, and having at least one member selected from the group consisting of iodine, silver iodide, potassium iodide, sodium iodide, calcium iodide, magnesium iodide, ammonium iodide, nickel iodide, rubidium iodide, cesium iodide, lithium iodide, manganese iodide, barium iodide, chromium iodide, hydrogen iodide, iodic acid, periodic acid, iodine chloride, potassium iodate, sodium iodate and sodium periodate in said silver halide emulsion or in an adjacent layer to said silver halide emulsion, said at least one member being added to said material prior to coating of said silver halide emulsion on said material, comprising heating said photographic material while dry at a temperature above 80.degree. C for more than 1 second after said visible image is printed-out.
