Abstract
A method for processing a silver halide color photographic material comprising subjecting the color photographic material to processing which comprises the steps of color developing, fixing, rinsing and drying after the rinsing, wherein a rinsing solution used in the rinsing step comprises at least one compound represented by the following formula (I) and is a processing solution comprising none of an aldehyde compound, an aldehyde releasing compound and a hexamethylenetetramine derivative; and in the drying step, the drying temperature is 70° C. or more, and the drying time is 70 seconds or less: R—(OC2H4)n—OH (I) wherein R represents an alkyl group having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, n is an integer of from 10 to 30, and n/(the carbon number of R) is from 1.2 to 4.0.
Claims18
A method for processing a silver halide color negative film comprising subjecting the color negative film to automatic processing with an automatic processor, which comprises the steps of at least color developing, fixing, rinsing and drying after the rinsing, wherein a rinsing solution used in the rinsing step comprises at least one compound represented by the following formula (I) in an amount of from 0.2 g/liter to 0.5 g/liter and is a processing solution comprising none of an aldehyde compound, an aldehyde releasing compound and a hexamethylenetetramine derivative;
- the rinsing step comprises 3 rinsing baths and in the drying step, the drying temperature is 70° C. to 90° C., and the drying time is 5 seconds to 70 seconds:
- R—(OC2H4)n—OH (I)
- wherein R represents an alkyl group having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, n is an integer of from 10 to 30, and n/(the carbon number of R) is from 1.2 to 4.0, and wherein replenishment of processing solutions used in the color developing, fixing and rinsing steps is carried out.
