Abstract
A method for processing a silver halide light-sensitive material employing an automatic processing machine is disclosed. A developer comprises compounds represented by the formula (1), and a fixer comprises thiosulfate salts, water-soluble aluminum salts, and at least one type of crystallization retarding agents and substantially comprises no boron compound. wherein Q represents —CH2CH2— or —CH2CH(J)—, wherein J represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group. x+y+Z is between 2.8 and 3.2, and R represents the group described below. Staining of the water washing tank and processing unevenness caused by a decrease in the replenishment rate of a fixer, are minimized during photographic processing employing an automatic processing machine.
Claims11
A method for processing a silver halide light-sensitive photographic material employing an automatic processing machine comprising steps of
- developing an exposed silver halide light-sensitive photographic material with developer,
- fixing the developed silver halide light-sensitive photographic material with fixer,
- washing the fixed silver halide light-sensitive photographic material with washing water, and
- drying the washed silver halide light-sensitive photographic material,
- wherein the developer comprises a compound represented by formula (1) in an amount of 0.005 to 0.2 g/l, and the fixer comprises a thiosulfate salt in an effective amount as a fixing agent, a crystallization retarding agent in an amount of 0.005 to 0.2 mol/l and water-soluble aluminum salt in an effective amount as a layer hardener, and substantially comprises no boron compound,
- wherein Q represents —CH2CH2— or —CH2CH(J)—, and J represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, sum of x, y and z is 2 to 4, and R represents
