Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, and more particularly to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having high image quality and stability on processing fluctuation. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Generally, a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is processed through color developing, bleach-fixing or bleaching and fixing, and stabilizing or washing steps. 
     In recent years, reduction of replenishers in the above-mentioned processing steps has been proposed in accordance with movement for reducing pollution, and technologies for reduced replenishing of color developer including that in Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection (hereinafter, referred to as Japanese Patent O.P.I Publication) No. 211750/1989 have been disclosed. However, fluctuation of photographic characteristics accompanied with the reduction of replenisher has become a serious problem The above-mentioned problem appears remarkably in continuous processing or running processing by means of an automatic processor. 
     A color light-sensitive material has a blue sensitive, a green sensitive and a red sensitive silver halide emulsion layers. These layers contain respectively a yellow coupler, a magenta coupler and a cyan coupler. 
     It has proved that a green sensitive silver halide emulsion containing a magenta coupler is easy to be affected by the fluctuation of photographic properties created in continuous processing in automatic processor, though the reason is unknown. Therefore, its improvement has been desired. 
     In addition, when a light-sensitive material is conveyed in an automatic processor, a problem that said light-sensitive material clings to conveyance rollers and adheres on a conveyance unit preventing normal conveyance and, in worse cases, stopping the conveyance, hereinafter, such a problem may be called &#34;jamming problem&#34;, occurs in continuous processing especially, though it is a rare case. When a jamming problem occurs, not only loss in a light-sensitive material but also damages including time loss and labor loss expensed for abolishing it and stop of the automatic processor are extremely serious. Therefore, it is strongly demanded to eliminate the above-mentioned problem completely. 
     In addition, a so-called finished print photograph which has finished development processing has a problem peculiar to print photograph such as the adherence of finger-print like dirt when it contacts a hand and sticking of print photograph together. One of those which influence the above-mentioned problem is a feeling f sticking, or sticking property. Though causal relation between the above-mentioned feeling of sticking of print photograph and the occurrence of jamming problem is unknown, it is expectable that a jamming problem will be reduced when a feeling of sticking is eliminated. 
     In order to improve feeling of sticking in print photograph, a technology to employ fluid paraffin was disclosed in Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 267640/1989, a technology to employ a hydrophobic fluorine compound was disclosed in Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 96649/1989 and a technology to employ fine grained inorganic compound was disclosed in Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 206746/1988. However, since most of the above-mentioned materials were contained in the outermost layer in order to obtain higher effectiveness, all of them had a defect to be easy to create some deterioration in image. In addition, a feeling of sticking in print photograph proved to have a tendency to increase accompanied with continuation of processing. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material excellent in image quality and surface characteristics, and is extremely less in the deterioration of photographic property and surface characteristics even when it is subjected to continuous processing and suitable for print use. 
     The above object of the invention can be achieved by a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon a photographic layer including 
     a silver halide emulsion layer comprising silver halide grains, a binder and a compound represented by the following formula I, 
     a non-light-sensitive layer being adjacent to said silver halide emulsion layer on its side closer to the support, and comprising a binder and a compound of the following Formula II being a liquid at 15° C., and 
     a layer provided at the outermost position of the photographic layer comprising a binder and a compound represented by Formula II; ##STR2## wherein Ar is an aryl group; X is a halogen atom, an alkoxyl group, or an alkyl group; Y is a hydrogen atom or a substituent capable of releasing upon reaction with the oxidation product of a color developing agent; and R 1  is a substituent: m is an integer of 1 to 4, a plurality of groups represented by R 1  may be the same or different when m is 2 or more and at least one of group represented by R 1  is a group represented by the following Formula Ia; ##STR3## wherein J is a straight or branched chin alkyl group; R 2  is a strait or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; ##STR4## wherein R 11  and R 12  are each a secondary or tertiary alkyl group and a number of carbon atoms contained in the groups represented by R 11  and R 12  is 20 or more in total.

     Matting agents can be added to the silver halide emulsion layer and/or other hydrophilic colloidal layers in the light-sensitive material in order to reduce the luster of the light-sensitive material, enhance retouching property and prevent sticking of light-sensitive materials each other. In addition, lubricants can be added in order to reduce sliding friction. 
     An anti-static agent can be added to the light-sensitive material for the purpose of preventing static charge. An anti-static agent may be used in the anti-static layer provided on the side opposite to the support carrying emulsions and in protective colloidal layer other than emulsion layers on the side of support carrying emulsion layers. 
     Various surfactants are used in the photographic emulsion layers and/or other hydrophilic colloidal layers in the light-sensitive material for the purpose of improvement in coating property, preventing electric charge, improvement in sliding characteristic, emulsification and dispersion, preventing sticking and improvement in photographic characteristics including acceleration of development, hardening and sensitization. 
     In coating photographic light-sensitive material employing the silver halide emulsion in the present invention, a thickener may be employed in order to improve coating property. As a coating method, the extrusion coating method and the curtain coating method that can coat concurrently 2 or more layers are especially useful. 
     Color developing agent employed in the color developer in the present invention include conventional ones widely employed in various color photographic process. 
     In the present invention, the light-sensitive material may be processed with a processing solution having bleaching ability immediately after color developing. However, the processing solution having said bleaching capacity may be one having also fixing capacity so-called bleach-fixer. As a bleaching solution used in said bleaching process, metal complex salts of an organic acid are used. 
    
    
     EXAMPLE 
     Example 1 
     On a support laminated with polyethylene on one side thereof and polyethylene containing titanium oxide on the other side thereon, layers having compositions shown in Table 1 and Table 2 were coated on the side of polyethylene layer, and thereby samples of multi-layer silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material were prepared. The coating solutions were prepared in the following manner. Coating solution for first layer 
     To 26.7 g of yellow coupler (Y-1), 10.0 g of dye image stabilizer (ST-1) and 6.67 g of dye image stabilizer (ST-2), 0.67 g of an additive (HQ-1) and 6.67 g of high boiling organic solvent (DNP), 60 ml of ethyl acetate was added to be dissolved. The solution thus obtained was emulsified and dispersed in 220 ml of 10% gelatin aqueous solution containing 7 ml of 20% surfactant (SU-1) by a supersonic homogenizer to prepare a yellow coupler dispersant. The above-mentioned dispersion was mixed with a blue sensitive silver halide emulsion, containing 10 g of silver, prepared under the following conditions to prepare First layer coating solution. 
     Second layer coating solution to Seventh layer coating solution were each prepared in a procedure similar to that in the above-mentioned First layer coating solution. 
     In addition, as hardeners, (H-1) was added in Second layer and Fourth layer and (H-2) was added in Seventh layer. As coating assistants, Surfactants (SU-2) and (SU-3) were added to prepare surface tension.

     Each of samples obtained through the above-mentioned processes was subjected to the following test on the evaluation of performance. 
     Change in Photographic Performance in Continuous Processing 
     The change was evaluated by the ratio of gradation between before and after or γ-value of the samples processed at the initial time and after continuous processing. The continuous processing was carried out under the following conditions. Rolls of color paper (12.7 cm×175 cm) were continuously given imagewise exposure and processed with a automatic printer processor NPS-602 QA manufactured by Konica Corporation. The processing was continued until the reprenishing amount of the developer replenisher reaches to that three times of the developing tank volume. In the course of the processing, 20 rolls of the light-sensitive material was processed. The γ-value was defined by a gradient a line conecting 2 points of the density on the characteristic curve, i.e., 0.80 and 1.80). The nearer the above-mentioned value becomes to 1, the fluctuation in successive performance becomes less and it indicates to be more excellent. 
     Change in gradation=γ R  /γ F   
     γ R  : Gradation after continuous processing (run) 
     γ F  : Gradation before continuous processing (fresh) 
     Change on whiteness of background in continuous processing 
     The ratio of density in unexposed portion so-called white background whiteness of the samples processed at the initial time and after continuous processing was calculated. The nearer the above-mentioned value becomes to 1, the less the fluctuation in continuous processing is, and it indicates to be excellent. 
     Change in background whiteness=Dmin R  /Dmin F   
     Dmin R  : The density in unexposed portion after continuous processing (run) 
     Dmin F  : The density in unexposed portion at the initial time of continuous processing (fresh) 
     Image Quality Change in Continuous Processing 
     With regard to image quality, we evaluated the image quality before and after continuous processing of the samples expose, developed and processed through the suitable standard negative film by means of 5-rank evaluation (1 to 5) through visual check in terms of whiteness and sharpness. 1 represents the smallest and 5 represents largest change in the image quality. 
     Surface Stickiness Change in Continuous Processing 
     The surface property of print photograph was evaluated as follows: 
     Print photographs before the continuous processing and after the continuous processing as above mentioned were sticked together respectively after the finish of drying. After they were left for 15 hours under the conditions of 40° C. and 80% RH, the resistance feeling of the print photograph sticking each other when they were peeled off was evaluated by means of 5-rank (1 to 5) evaluation. 1 represents the smallest and 5 represents the largest change in the stickiness. 
     1: Print photographs are completely separated. 
     3: There is a resistance to an extent that sound is hear when they are peeled off. 
     5: Print photographs cannot be peeled off. The results are shown in Table 4.

     As is apparent from Table 4, the stability on processing fluctuation was extremely deteriorated in Comparative samples. In addition, they were degraded in terms of image quality and surface property. However, all of the above-mentioned properties have been improved in the samples in the present invention. 
     The above-mentioned effects cannot be attained by each of independent technology. Of course, they were not attained b the sum of each technology. They are effects which cannot be expected by conventional technologies. 
     Example 2 
     Samples were prepared in the same manner as Example 1 except that the following 3 kinds were employed as a support. 
     
         ______________________________________Kind ofsupport  Contents of support   SRa value______________________________________PET-1    A polyester film support containing                          0.02 μm    20 g of barium sulfate per 100 g of    polyester (polyethyleneterephthalate)PET-2    A polyester film support containing                          0.05 μm    20 g of barium sulfate per 100 g of    polyester (polyethyleneterephthalate)PVD/PVCD A vinyl chloride - vinyl vinylidene                          0.04 μm    resin film support containing 20 g of    barium sulfate per 100 g of vinyl    chloride - vinylidene chloride    copolymer resin______________________________________ 
    
     SRa value represents roughness of the surface of support, as described in Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 173030/1989. The less the value is, the more the smoothness is. The measuring method of SRa is described in the above-mentioned application. 
     When the obtained samples were evaluated in the same manner as Example 1, the effect of the present invention was obtained. 
     Example 3 
     A support for photographic paper was prepared by the following method. 
     A bleach sulfite pulp was crushed at about 40 °SR, to which oil resin size having 2% weight to the pulp and starch size having 1% weight to the pulp were added. Then, a resin mixture solution composed of 1 part of vinylcyclohexendiepoxide and 7 art of stylene-unhydroxide maleic acid was added thereto by 1% of solid portion to pulp. Thus, the mixture was plowed in 150 g/m 2 . In addition, gelatin was adhered thereon by 0.5 g/m 2  by means of tub size method. 
     On it, a solution wherein glossy baryta, matte baryta, gelatin, citric acid and chrome alum was mixed was coated so that the weight in drying would be 15 g/m 2 . A support thus prepared is normally called a baryta base paper. 
     Samples were prepared in the same manner as Example 1 except that a baryta paper thus obtained was employed. 
     When the obtained sample was evaluated in the same manner as Example 1, the effect of the present invention was obtained.
