Color motion picture print film with improved raw stock keeping

Abstract

A silver halide light sensitive motion picture photographic print element comprising a support having a front side and a back side and bearing on the front side thereof in order a yellow dye image-forming unit comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith at least one yellow dye-forming coupler, a cyan dye image-forming unit comprised of at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith at least one cyan dye-forming coupler, and a magenta dye image-forming unit comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith at least one magenta dye-forming coupler; said element further comprising an antistatic layer containing vanadium pentoxide on either side of the support, and a raw stock keeping stabilizer compound present in at least one emulsion layer or a hydrophilic colloid layer in reactive association with at least one emulsion layer, wherein the stabilizer compound comprises Au2S or a tetrachloroaurate(3+) salt of the formula MAuCl4 where M represents H, Na, or K at a total coverage of at least 0.05 mg/m2. The photographic print elements of the invention improve keeping performance demonstrated by print elements which comprise vanadium pentoxide containing antistatic layers.
