Abstract:
An apparatus for processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, the apparatus having plural processes of at least a developing process, a bleaching process and a fixing process, comprisingsupplying means for supplying a processing solution to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material in at least one process of the plural processes, whereby a point of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is supplied with the processing solution during a supplying time, wherein the point of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is processed during a processing time in the process and the supplying time is not longer than 70% of the processing time; andheating means for heating the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materialize in such a manner that a surface temperature of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material when the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is supplied with the processing solution by the supplying means is 40.degree. C. to 90.degree. C., wherein a length of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction is D (cm), the conveying speed in the process is R (cm/sec.), and a volume of the processing solution in a processing tank is 0.3.times.D.times.R (ml) to 50.times.D.times.R (ml).
