Silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material and method and apparatus for forming images using the same

A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having provided thereon three light-sensitive units each having a different color-sensitivity,

• wherein one of said light-sensitive units is a white-sensitive unit having the spectral sensitivity distribution satisfying the following conditions:
• 0.05.ltoreq.S.sub.450 /S.sub.550 .ltoreq.1.2 and
• 0.05.ltoreq.S.sub.600 /S.sub.550 .ltoreq.1.2
• wherein S.sub.450, S.sub.550 and S.sub.600 represent sensitivities at 450 nm, 550 nm, and 600 nm respectively;
• wherein the light-sensitive units other than said white-sensitive unit are two light-sensitive units selected from the group consisting of a blue-sensitive unit, a green-sensitive unit and a red-sensitive unit having the following wavelengths for maximum spectral sensitivity, respectively:
• 410.ltoreq..lambda. Bmax .ltoreq.490 nm
• 510.ltoreq..lambda. Gmax .ltoreq.590 nm
• 580.ltoreq..lambda. Rmax .ltoreq.660 nm
• wherein .lambda. B max, .lambda. Gmax and .lambda. Rmax represent the wavelengths for maximum spectral sensitivity of the blue-sensitive unit, the green-sensitive unit and the red-sensitive unit, respectively;
• and
• wherein a non light-sensitive intermediate layer containing substantially non light-sensitive silver halide grains is formed in a position adjacent to the high-speed white-sensitive layer and/or the high-speed light-sensitive layer of the light-sensitive units other than the white-sensitive unit on the side of these layers facing toward the support.
