Abstract
A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. The method comprises the step of supplying a photographic processing solution on the image forming surface of the silver halide photographic material by a processing solution supplying means, and said processing solution has a contact angle to the image forming surface of said silver halide photographic light-sensitive material of not more than 45°.
Claims22
A method for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising the steps of:
- conveying the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, which comprises an image forming surface, in a processing apparatus, and
- applying a photographic processing solution on the image forming surface of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material in an amount of 5 ml to 100 ml per square meter of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material,
- wherein the photographic processing solution contains a developing agent, an alkaline component, a solubilizing agent for developing agent, a preservative and a compound represented by Formula I, whereby the compound represented by Formula I is contained in the photographic processing solution in a sufficient amount so that a contact angle of the processing solution to the image forming surface is not greater than 45°;
- Rf[Parenopenst]X[Parenclosest]m[Parenopenst]Y[Parenclosest]nA Formula I,
- wherein
- Rf represents a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having at least one fluorine atom, and X is a sulfonamido group,
- and
- Y is an alkylene oxide group;
- RF′ represents a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having at least one fluorine atom;
- A represents a hydrophilic group such as —SO3M, —OSO3M, —COOM, —OPO3(M1) (M2) and —PO3(M1) (M2) wherein M, M1, and M2 are each H, Li, K, Na, or NH4;
- m represents 0 or 1, and
- n represents 0 or an integer of 1 to 10.
