Abstract:
A multilayer photographic element comprising a reflective support wherein the color record 1 adjacent to the support comprises at least one light sensitive layer and a non-light sensitive dye-forming interlayer; and wherein color record 2 above said color record 1 comprises at least one light sensitive layer and at least two non-light sensitive dye-forming interlayers and wherein color record 3 above color record 2 comprises at least one light sensitive layer and a non-light sensitive dye-forming interlayer; an optional UV dye containing interlayer; and a top overcoat; and wherein each color record of the invention multilayer structure produces after exposure and development a characteristic dye curve having the following properties at one or more exposure times in the range 20 nanoseconds to 500 seconds: the maximum slope of the characteristic dye curve has a value ranging from 2.0 to 5.0; the maximum Status A reflection density after separation exposure followed by development is >=1.0; the minimum Status A reflection density after development is <=0.300 in each color record; the log exposure range between the Dmin plateau plus +0.04 Status A density units and the Dmax plateau -0.04 Status A density units does not exceed 2.0.
