Abstract: Disclosed is a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon a mainly yellow image forming layer, a mainly magenta image forming layer and a mainly cyan image forming layer; wherein , when an exposure is conducted within 1/10 to 10 times of an exposure amount giving minimum density of +0.2 on the first layer selected from said three layers after developing in the main spectra sensitivity region of the first layer, the second layer selected from said three layers is given lower density with said 1/10 to 10 times of exposure than a density without said 1/10 to 10 times of exposure; and reflection densities in 450 nm, 550 nm and 700 nm is not less than 0.8 respectively, before the developing. The silver halide color photographic light sensitive material is capable of providing a color proof improved in the approximation degrees of an image quality to a printed printer.

Description: This invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light sensitive material suitable for forming a proof-reading color image (or, a color proof) from a plurality of black-and-white half dot images prepared by a color-separation and a half dot image conversion in a color plate-making·printing process; and the invention also relates to a positive type color light sensitive material suitable for preparing a color proof. There have so far been well-known processes for forming a color proof from a plurality of black-and-white half dot images prepared by a color-separation and a half dot image conversion in a color plate-making·printing process, such as an over-lay process in which a color image is formed by making use of a photopolymer or a diazo compound, and a surprint process. The over-lay process has such an advantage that the operations are very simple and the production cost is inexpensive and, in addition, the process can also be utilized for proofing only by superposing four color film sheets (in the primary colors of subtractive color mixture and black). However, this process has such a disadvantage that a gloss is produced by superposing the film sheets and, therefore, the resulting texture becomes different from a printed matter. The surprint process is to superpose colored images on a support. This type of processes includes the well-known processes described in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 3,582,327, 3,607,264 and 3,620,726, in which a colored image is obtained by utilizing the stickiness of photopolymeric materials and carrying out a toner development. There are also the well-known processes as described in Japanese Patent Examined Publication No. 47-27441/1972 and Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection (hereinafter abbreviated to JP OPI Publication) No. 56-501217/1981, in which a color proof is prepared in the following manner. An image is formed by transferring it onto a support by making use of a light-sensitive colored sheet, by exposing it to light and then by developing it. After that, another colored sheet is laminated thereon and then the same procedures are repeated so as to prepare the color proof. There is also a well-known process as described in JP OPI Publication No. 59-97140/1084, in which colored images are obtained by making use of a light-sensitive colored sheet and the corresponding color-separation films are each exposed to light and developed, and the resulting colored images are each transferred onto a support so that a color proof can be formed thereon. The toners for forming the above-mentioned images and the colorants for colored sheets have the advantage that the same coloring materials as printing inks can be used for. Therefore, the resulting color proof closely resembles the original in color tone. However, these processes have the following disadvantages. In the steps for preparing a color proof, images have to be superposed and transferred and it takes a long time to complete the operations and, in addition, the production cost is high. As for the processes capable of eliminating the above-mentioned disadvantages, there are the processes in which a color proof can be prepared by making use of a silver salt color photographic light sensitive material comprising a white support, such as disclosed in JP OPI Publication Nos. 56-113139/1981, 56-104335/1981, 62-280746/1987, 62-280747/1987, 62-280748/1987, 62-280749/1987, 62-280750/1987 and 62-280849/1987. In these processes, a proofing image is used in the form of a color image that is formed in the following manner. Plural color-separated black-and-white halftone dot images are prepared by converting a colored original document into plural color-separated halftone dot images. The resulting plural B&W halftone dot images are printed one after another on one sheet of color paper by a contact printing method or the like. The printed images are color developed so that a color image formed of the dyes is produced imagewise of the couplers. The resulting color image is to be used as the proofing image. The above-mentioned technique, however, has the following defects. When a color image is approximated to a printed matter, the density of a black image such as lettering is inferior to that of the printed matter and, on the other hand, when taking a means for enhancing the density to try to approximate the density of a black image such as lettering to that of the printed matter, the degree of approximation of the color image of the printed matter deteriorates, so that both densities can hardly be satisfied. As for techniques capable of improving the above-mentioned disadvantages, there have so far been the well-known techniques of adding the 4th layer that is a black printer layer having a spectral sensitivity different from any other yellow. magenta and cyan color developing layers. Besides these techniques, Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection (hereinafter referred to as JP OPI Publication) Nos. eg. 2-289846/1990 and 2-183251/1990, also disclose the techniques for improving the above-mentioned disadvantages. However, any satisfactory effects have not been enjoyed from these techniques. Each of the techniques mentioned above have serious problems of practical application in that the productivity is spoiled due to the increase of the numbers of exposures. Accordingly, there have been demands for further improvements. Further, when a color image is made approximate to a printed matter by making use of a silver salt color photosensitive material, there is a serious problem in the deterioration of image sharpness (that is a halftone dot reproducibility). When a color image is used as a color proof, the above-mentioned image sharpness, that is a halftone dot reproducibility, is one of the definitely essential qualities. The following methods have been well-known so far as the methods for improving the image sharpness of silver salt color photosensitive materials: (1) A method of making use of a water-soluble dye for preventing any irradiation production; (2) Another method of increasing the filling concentration of the white pigment contained in a polyolefin layer coated on a reflection type support laminated with polyolefin on the base paper thereof; (3) A further method of thinning a photographic component layer containing hydrophilic colloid; and (4) Still further method of containing, in a photographic component layer, a compound capable of releasing a development inhibiting compound when the layer is developed. The above-mentioned method (1) is applied to any commonly marketed color photosensitive materials for printing use. In this method, however, the water-soluble dye content is low and the reflection densities in the wavelengths of 450nm, 500nm and 700nm are each less than 0.5, before the subject color photosensitive material is developed. Therefore, any color proof having both satisfactory image sharpness and fidelity cannot be prepared. Methods (2) are described in eg. JP OPI Publication Nos. 61-284763/1986, 61-27049/1986 and 61-270750/1986. Still in this method, however, any image satisfiable for a color proof cannot be prepared. In the method (3), there is a limitation to make a photographic component layer thinner. Therefore, any satisfiable effects cannot be obtained. In the method (4), an image satisfactory for a color proof cannot be prepared, although an edge effect may be emphasized in low spatial frequencies. It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide a color proof improved in approximation between printed matter and the image qualities of the color proof (such as a hue and a halftone dot reproducibility), without spoiling operability, when the color proof is prepared of the halftone dot image information obtained by making a color-separation and a halftone dot image conversion, using a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material. The above-mentioned object of the invention can be achieved in the following constitution: (1) A silver halide color photographic photosensitive material which comprises a layer mainly forming a yellow image, another layer mainly forming a magenta image and a further layer mainly forming a cyan image; wherein at least one of the yellow, magenta and cyan image forming layers comprises a silver halide emulsion having a spectral sensitivity with portions common to the spectral sensitivities of each of the emulsions of the other image forming layers, the magenta image forming layer further comprises a yellow forming coupler, and when any two layers arbitrarily selected from the three layers are named layer 1 and layer 2 respectively, and when the photosensitive material is exposed to light in the main spectral sensitivity region of layer 1 and in an exposure quantity capable of giving a density 1/10 to 10 times as much as the minimum density + 0.2 to the image density on layer 1 and developed, then, the photosensitive material has at least one combination that the image density on layer 2 is lower than the density obtained when the exposure is not made, but the development is made; and that the reflection densities at 450nm, 550nm and 700nm are not less than 0.8, respectively, before the photosensitive material is developed. (2) A silver halide color photographic photosensitive material as described in (1) above and which further comprises a compound chosen from water-soluble yellow dye, water-soluble magenta dye and water-soluble cyan dye. (3) A color proof preparation process comprising the step of exposing to light a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material comprising a support bearing thereon a mainly yellow image forming layer, a mainly magenta image forming layer and a mainly cyan image forming layer, according to the halftone dot image information color-separated into the yellow, magenta, cyan and black image information; wherein the silver halide color photographic photosensitive material is the silver halide color photographic photosensitive material described in (1) or (2) above. In the invention a reflection density is indicated by a value obtained by measuring a subject sample through a color analyzer Model 607 manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd. The invention will further be detailed below. In the invention, the methods in which the reflection densities at each of wavelengths 450nm, 500nm and 700nm are made to be 0.8 or higher before a subject sample is developed, such methods include, preferably, a method in which water-soluble yellow, magenta and cyan dyes are added and/or another method in which an antihalation layer is arranged to serve as the lowermost layer. The antihalation layer is preferably in the form of a non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloidal layer. The above-mentioned water-soluble dyes and/or colloidal silver may be contained therein. The water-soluble yellow, magenta and cyan dyes applicable to the invention include, for example, oxonol dyes, cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes, azo dyes, anthraquinone dyes and allylidene dyes. Among them, the oxonol dyes and merocyanine dyes are particularly preferable, from the viewpoints of the high decomposing property in processing solutions and non-color sensitizing property. The above-mentioned oxonol dyes are described in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 4,187,225, and JP OPI Publication Nos. 48-42826/1973, 49-5125/1974, 49-99620/1974, 50-91627/1975, 51-77327/1976, 55-120660/1980, 58-24139/1983, 58-143342/1983, 59-38742/1984, 59-111640/1984, 59-111641/1984, 59-168438/1984, 60-218641/1985, 62-31916/1987, 62-66275/1987, 62-66276/1987, 62-185755/1987, 62-273527/1987 and 63-139949/1988. The above-mentioned merocyanine dyes are described in, for example, JP OPI Publication Nos. 50-145124/1975, 58-120245/1983, 63-35437/1988, 63-35438/1988, 63-34539/1988 and 63-58437/1988. Typical examples of the oxonol and merocyanine dyes will be given below. However, the invention shall not be limited thereto. (Water-soluble yellow dyes) (Water-soluble magenta dyes) (Water-soluble cyan dyes) Now, typical examples of the water-soluble dyes other than oxonol and merocyanine dyes will be given below. However, the invention shall not be limited thereto. In the invention, the water-soluble dyes are used in an amount necessary to make the reflection densities not less than 0.8 at each of wavelength 450nm, 550nm and 700nm, before developing the subject photosensitive material. The preferable reflection densities are each within the range of from 0.9 to 1.2. In the invention, the water-soluble dyes are contained in photosensitive silver halide emulsion layers and/or non-photosensitive layers. The water-soluble dyes are used in a combination of water-soluble yellow, magenta and cyan dyes. Each of the water-soluble yellow, magenta and cyan dyes are used independently or in combination. Preferably, in the material of the invention, the antihalation layer, that is the lowermost layer, contains a compound capable of absorbing rays of light. As for these compounds, a variety of organic and inorganic compounds having such a function as mentioned above may be used. Among them, inorganic compounds are preferably used. As for the above-mentioned inorganic compounds, colloidal silver and colloidal manganese are suitably used. Among them, colloidal silver is particularly preferable. These colloidal metals are also effective when they are applied to the color photosensitive materials of the invention, because they have an excellent decoloring property. The above-mentioned colloidal silver such as gray colloidal silver can be obtained in the following manner. Silver nitrate is reduced in gelatin, while keeping the alkalinity, in the presence of a reducing agent such as hydroquinone, phenidone, ascorbic acid, pyrogallol or dextrin. After the resulting reduced matter is neutralized and cooled down so that gelatin is set, the reducing agent and needless salts are removed in a noodle-washing method. A uniformly granulated colloidal silver dispersion solution can be prepared by producing the colloidal silver grains in the presence of an azaindene or mercapto compound, when the above-mentioned reduction is carried out in alkaline conditions. The weight of colloidal silver added is not more than 0.13 g/m 2 and, preferably, not more than 0.07 g/m 2 , in terms of the silver content thereof. These dye compounds each have a hydrophilic group that is substantially water-soluble (against water having a pH of 7 or lower) and is dissociated at pH 9 or higher. These compounds may be contained in any photosensitive emulsion layers and non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloidal layers among the photographic component layers in the following manner. These compounds are prepared, by making them present in gelatin or a high polymer binder, to be a fine-grained, solid and dispersed matter (that is in the form of flocks of grains having some microscopic dimension such as an average grain size of, preferably, 10µm or smaller and, particularly, 1 µm or smaller) each obtained in a method for finely granulating the compounds by making use of a ball-mill or a sand-mill or in another method for dissolving the compounds in an organic solvent and dispersing them into a gelatin solution. The above-mentioned fine-grained, solid and dispersed matters are present in water-soluble and stable form in a color photographic photosensitive material. However, most of the matters disappear from the above-mentioned color photographic photosensitive material, because the hydrophilic groups contained in the dye compounds are so dissociated as to be water-soluble or decolored by making an exposure and then by processing with a color developer (preferably having a pH of not less than 9). There is no special limitation to the layers containing the above-mentioned dyes and colloidal silver. However, the dyes and colloidal silver are preferably contained in a non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloidal layer arranged between a support and the layer closest to the support. On the silver halide emulsion-coated side of the support of the photographic component layers of the color photosensitive materials of the invention, the photosensitive emulsion layers and non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloidal layers each arranged thereto contain gelatin in a total amount of not more than 13 g and, preferably, within the range of not less than 5 g and less than 12 g, per 1 m 2 of the photosensitive material. The silver halides suitable for use in the invention can be optically sensitized by making use of any commonly applicable sensitizing dyes. It is also useful to the silver halide emulsions used in the invention to make combination use of the sensitizing dyes applicable to super-color sensitizing an internal latent image forming type silver halide emulsion, a negative type silver halide emulsion and so forth. The details of the sensitizing dyes can be referred to Research Disclosure (hereinafter referred to as RD) Nos. 15162 and 17643. The silver halide emulsions applicable to the invention may also include a silver halide emulsion capable of forming a negative image by making a development with a surface latent image forming type silver halide emulsion capable of forming a latent image on the surface upon making an imagewise exposure to light. It is further preferable to use an emulsion capable of obtaining a direct positive image in the following manner; an internal latent image forming type emulsion not fogged in advance on the grain surfaces thereof is used and, after making an imagewise exposure to light, a fogging treatment (or so-called a granulating treatment) is applied and then a surface development is carried out; or, after making an imagewise exposure to light, and a surface development is carried out while applying a fogging treatment thereto; so that the direct positive image can be obtained. The above-mentioned fogging treatment can be performed by making an overall non-image exposure, by making use of a foggant in a chemical way, by making use of a high energy developer, by making a heat treatment, or by the like ways. The term, 'an emulsion containing internal latent image forming type silver halide emulsion grains', herein stated means those having photosensitive nuclei mainly inside the silver halide crystal grains thereof and containing silver halide grains capable of forming a latent image inside the grains upon making an exposure to light. In the field of the above-mentioned internal latent image forming type direct positive techniques, there have been many well-known techniques so far. Well-known techniques include those described in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 2,592,250, 2,466,957, 2,497,875, 2,588,982, 3,761,266, 3,761,276 and 3,796,577 and British Patent No. 1,151,363. The mechanism for forming a positive image has not been definitely apparent. However, for example, the following descriptions are found in "Photographic Science and Engineering", Vol.20, p.158, (1976). Photoelectrons produced in silver halide crystal grains by making an imagewise exposure are captured selectively in the grains, so that an internal latent image can be formed. The resulting internal latent image can work as an effective capture center to the electrons present in a conduction band. Therefore, the electrons injected thereafter in a fogging development process are captured inside the grains exposed to light, so that the latent image can be intensified. In this case, the latent image cannot be developed in any surface development, because the latent image is made present inside the grains. On the other hand, at least one part of the electrons injected is captured on the surfaces of the grains not exposed imagewise to light, so that a latent image can be formed thereon. Therefore, the grains are developed in a surface development. The internal latent image forming type silver halide grains unfogged in advance, which are applicable to the invention, such grains are formed into an emulsion comprising silver halide grains having most of the photosensitive nuclei inside the grains so that a latent image can mainly be formed inside the silver halide grains. These emulsions contain each any silver halides including, for example, silver bromide, silver chloride, silver chlorobromide, silver chloroiodide, silver iodobromide, and silver chloroiodobromide. Among the above-mentioned emulsions, a preferable emulsion is as follows. A part of a sample is coated on a transparent support so that the silver coating weight thereof can be within the range of about 1 to 3.5 g/m 2 , and the part of the sample is exposed to light through a light intensity scale for a certain time from about 0.1 seconds to about 1 second. The exposed sample is then developed at 20°C for 4 minutes with the following surface developer A capable of developing only the images formed on the surfaces of the grains not substantially containing silver halide solvent. In this case, the maximum density of the resulting developed sample is not higher than one fifth of the maximum density obtained when another part of the same emulsion sample is exposed to light in the same manner as above and is then developed at 20°C for 4 minutes by making use of the following internal developer B capable of developing the image present inside the grains. In a particularly preferable emulsion, the maximum density obtained by making use of surface developer A is not higher than one tenth of the maximum density obtained by making use of internal developer B. (Surface developer A) Metol 2.5 g L-ascorbic acid 10.0 g Sodium metaborate (tetrahydrate) 35.0 g Potassium bromide 1.0 g Add water to make 1000 cc (Internal developer B) Metol 2.0 g Sodium sulfite (anhydrate) 90.0 g Hydroquinone 8.0 g Sodium carbonate (monohydrate) 52.5 g Potassium bromide 5.0 g Potassium iodide 0.5 g Add water to make 1000 cc The internal latent image forming type silver halide emulsions preferably applicable to the invention include those prepared in various processes. For example, they include the following emulsions; namely, a conversion type silver halide emulsion such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 2,592,250; a silver halide emulsion comprising silver halide grains treated in an internal chemical sensitization, such as those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,206,316, 3,317,322 and 3,367,778; an emulsion comprising silver halide grains incorporating polyvalent metal ions, such as those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,271,157, 3447,927 and 3,53,291; a silver halide emulsion chemically sensitized slightly on the surfaces of the silver halide grains containing a doping agent, such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 3,761,276; a silver halide emulsion comprising grains having a multilayered structure, such as those described in JP OPI Publication Nos. 50-8524/1975, 50-38525/1975 and 53-2408/1978; and, besides, a silver halide emulsion such as those described in JP OPI Publication Nos. 52-156614/1977 and 55-127549/1980. The internal latent image forming type silver halide grains preferably applicable to the invention may be comprised of silver halides having any silver halide compositions. Among them, however, the grains containing silver chloride are excellent in developability and suitable for rapid processing treatments. The silver halide grains applicable to the invention may have any configuration such as a cube, an octahedron, a tetradecahedron comprising mixtures of (100) faces and (111) faces, a form having (110) faces, a sphere, and a tablature. The grains may preferably be used when they have an average grain size within the range of from 0.05 to 3µm. Concerning the grain size distribution of the grains, they may be either monodisperse type emulsion grains having a uniform crystal habit, or emulsion grains irregular in grain size or in crystal habit. Among these emulsions, the above-mentioned monodisperse type silver halide emulsions uniform in grain size and crystal habit are preferable. In the invention, the term, 'a monodisperse type silver halide emulsion', herein means an emulsion obtained when the contents by weight of the silver halide grains having a grain size within the range of ±20% of the average grain size rm are not less than 60%, preferably 70% and, particularly 80% of the total contents by weight of the silver halide grains. The term, 'an average grain size rm', is herein defined as a grain size ri obtained when maximizing the product, ni x ri 3 , of a frequency ni of the grains having a grain size ri and ri 3 , (provided therein that the significant figures are three columns and the lowest column is rounded). The term, 'a grain size', herein means a grain diameter in the case of spherical silver halide grains, and a diameter obtained when the projective image of a grain is converted into a circular image having the same area as that of the projective image in the case of any grains other than the spherical grains. The grain sizes can be obtained in the following manner, for example. A grain is magnified 10,000 to 50,000 times larger through an electron microscope and is then photographed, and the diameter or projected area of the grain is practically measured on the resulting photoprint, (provided therein that the numbers of the grains subject to the measurement are not less than 1,000 at random). In the particularly preferable highly monodisperse type emulsions, the grain size distributions thereof defined by the following formula are not higher than 20%. (Standard grain size deviation/Average grain size)x100 = Grain size distribution (%) wherein the average grain sizes and the standard grain size deviations are to be obtained from the aforementioned definition of ri. The above-mentioned monodisperse type emulsions can be prepared by adding a water-soluble silver salt solution and a water-soluble halide solution into a gelatin which contains seed grains, controlling pAg and pH, in a double-jet precipitation method. For determining the adding rate, the techniques described in JP OPI Publication Nos. 54-48521/1979 and 58-49938/1983 may be referred. As for the processes for preparing a further highly monodisperse type emulsion, it is allowed to apply the process for growing an emulsion in the presence of a tetrazaindene compound, which is disclosed in JP OPI Publication No. 60-122935/1985. In the silver halide color photographic photosensitive materials of the invention, the mainly yellow image forming silver halide emulsion layer, a mainly magenta image forming silver halide emulsion layer and a mainly cyan image forming silver halide emulsion layer contain silver halide emulsions each having different spectrally sensitive wavelength regions, and at least one of the above-mentioned yellow, magenta and cyan image forming silver halide emulsion layers contains a silver halide emulsion having a spectral sensitivity with portions common to each of the spectral sensitivities of the emulsions having the different spectrally sensitive wavelength regions, which are contained respectively in the above-mentioned yellow, magenta and cyan image forming silver halide emulsion layers. In the invention, the yellow, magenta and cyan image forming layers each have different spectral sensitivities. In the spectrally sensitive wavelength regions of each layer, it is preferable that any one of the wavelengths therein can show a sensitivity preferably at least 4 times and particularly at least 8 times as much as the spectral sensitivities of the other layers. The descriptions will now be made about the silver halide emulsions each having the spectral sensitivities having the portions common to the spectral sensitivities of the emulsions having the different spectrally sensitive wavelength regions, which are to be contained in the above-mentioned yellow, magenta and cyan image forming silver halide emulsion layers. In this specification and for simplifying the description, among the above-mentioned silver halide emulsions each having different spectral sensitivities, the silver halide emulsions to be contained in the yellow, magenta and cyan image forming layers are abbreviated to emulsions Y, M and C, respectively. Further, when a silver halide emulsion having a spectral sensitivity has a portion common to the spectral sensitivities of every emulsion having the different spectrally sensitive wavelength regions, which are to be contained in the yellow, magenta and cyan image forming silver halide emulsion layers, the silver halide emulsion is abbreviated to an emulsion P. In the invention, emulsion P has the spectral sensitivity having a portion common to the spectrally sensitive regions of each of emulsions Y, M and C, respectively. When making an exposure with any of the wavelengths in the spectrally sensitive region of emulsion Y, the sensitivity ratio of emulsion Y to emulsion P is preferably within the range of from 1/10 to 10. Similarly, when making an exposure with any of the wavelengths in the spectrally sensitive region of emulsion M, the sensitivity ratio of emulsion M to emulsion P is preferably within the range of from 1/10 to 10; and when making an exposure with any of the wavelengths in the spectrally sensitive region of emulsion C, the sensitivity ratio of emulsion C to emulsion P is preferably within the range of from 1/10 to 10. Preferably, each of the mainly yellow, magenta and cyan image forming layers comprises a panchromatic emulsion. In one of the preferable embodiments of the invention, the yellow image forming layer contains a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion, the magenta image forming layer contains a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion and the cyan image forming layer contains a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion. The above-mentioned yellow image forming layer is further mixed with a silver halide emulsion photosensitive to blue, green and red light. Similar to the above, the above-mentioned magenta and cyan image forming layers are mixed with a silver halide emulsion photosensitive to blue, green and red light. In another preferable embodiment, the yellow image forming layer contains a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion, the magenta image forming layer contains a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion and the cyan image forming layer contains an infrared-sensitive silver halide emulsion. The above-mentioned yellow image forming layer is mixed with a silver halide emulsion photosensitive to green, red and infrared light. Similarly, the above-mentioned magenta and cyan image forming layers are each also mixed with a silver halide emulsion photosensitive to green, red and infrared light. In a further preferable embodiment, the yellow image forming layer contains a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion, the magenta image forming layer contains a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion and the cyan image forming layer contains a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion. The above-mentioned yellow and cyan image forming layers are each mixed with a silver halide emulsion photosensitive to blue, green and red light. Besides the above-mentioned combinations, the color sensitivities of emulsions Y, M and C may freely be selected and any combinations can be used, provided that the color sensitivities thereof are different from each other. Emulsion P may be contained in at least one of the yellow, magenta and cyan layers. Silver halide emulsion (that is Emulsion P), which has a spectral sensitivity having a portion common to the spectral sensitivities of the yellow, magenta and cyan image forming silver halide emulsions used in the invention, may be realized by selecting spectrally sensitizing dyes. For example, the emulsions photosensitive to blue, green and red light can be prepared by making combination use of a blue-sensitive sensitizing dye, a green-sensitive sensitizing dye and a red-sensitive sensitizing dye. In the silver halide photographic photosensitive materials relating to the invention, the grain sizes of each of the emulsion layers thereof can be determined from the wide ranges thereof, by taking variously required characteristics into consideration, including particularly sensitivities, sensitivity balance, color-separability, image sharpness and graininess. In one of the preferable embodiments of the invention, the silver halide grain sizes preferably applicable thereto are within the range of from 0.1µm to 0.6µm for the red-sensitive emulsions, from 0.15µm to 0.8µm for the green-sensitive emulsions and from 0.3µm to 1.2µm for the blue-sensitive emulsions. There is no special limitation to the grain sizes of the aforementioned Emulsion P. However, the average grain sizes thereof have each a ratio within the range of from 0.4 to 3.0 and, preferably from 0.7 to 2.0 to the largest average grain size among those of Emulsions Y, M and C. In the silver halide photographic photosensitive materials relating to the invention, gelatin is preferably used as the binder. Particularly for removing the colored components of the gelatin, it is preferable to use the gelatin improved in the transmittance ratio by treating a gelatin solution extracted with hydrogen peroxide, by extracting the colored components from the raw material that is a hydrogen peroxide treated ossein, or by making use of an ossein prepared from a colorless raw bone. The gelatin used in the invention may be any one of alkali-treated ossein gelatin, acid-treated gelatin, a gelatin derivative and denatured gelatin. Among them, alkali-treated ossein gelatin is particularly preferable to be used. As for the gelatin applicable to the silver halide photographic photosensitive materials of the invention, they preferably have a transmittance of not less than 70% when a 10% gelatin solution is prepared and the transmittance is measured at 420nm through a spectrophotometer. The transmittance can be increased in the above-mentioned method. However, it is also preferable to increase the transmittance in a method for applying a hydrogen peroxide treatment in an ossein preparation stage, another method for adding hydrogen peroxide into an ossein liming tank so that the hydrogen peroxide may be reacted with the ossein in the liming process, or a further method for making use of hydrogen peroxide in a gelatin extracted solution. Hydrogen peroxide solutions available on the market can be used therein. The condensation of the hydrogen peroxide, the time for adding and reacting it, and the methods for washing it are each suitably determined by optimizing these factors. In the gelatin used in the invention, the jelly hardness thereof (obtained in a PAGI method) is preferably not less than 250 g and particularly not less than 270 g. There is no special limitation to the ratios of the amount of gelatin of the invention to the total amount of the coated gelatin. However, it is preferable to apply the ratios as high as possible. Concretely, a preferable effect can be obtained when applying a ratio within the range of at least not less than 20% and up to 100%. In the photosensitive materials of the invention, the total amount of gelatin contained into the image forming side thereof is to be preferably less than 11g/m 2 . There is no special limitation to the lower limit of the total amount thereof. However, it is preferable to be in an amount of not less than 3.0 g/m 2 , generally from the viewpoint of the physical properties or photographic characteristics. Such a gelatin amount as mentioned above can be obtained by converting it into the weight of gelatin having a 11.0% moisture content, in a moisture measuring method described in the above-mentioned Puggy method. The yellow, magenta and cyan image forming layers of the invention are multicoated over a support. They may be arranged in any order from the support side. For example, one of the preferable embodiments is that a cyan image forming layer, a magenta image forming layer and a yellow image forming layer are arranged in this order from the support side. Besides the above, it is allowed to arrange an intermediate layer, a filter layer and a protective layer, if required. Among the silver halide photographic photosensitive materials of the invention, a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material is preferable, in which, after completing a photographic process comprising a color developing step, the yellow, magenta and cyan image forming layers have the maximum monochromatic yellow, magenta and cyan densities each within the range of 1.50 to 1.90, respectively, and each of the color component densities of the black color, which is formed by adding each of the maximum monochromatic densities and the maximum density of a black image forming layer, is not less than 1.90, respectively. Also among the silver halide photographic photosensitive materials of the invention, another silver halide color photographic photosensitive material is preferable, in which, after completing a photographic process comprising a color developing step, the yellow, magenta and cyan image forming layers have the monochromatic yellow, magenta and cyan tones in the toe portions thereof each of not less than 1.7, respectively. The term, 'a tone in a toe portion', herein expressed, in a characteristic curve, in terms of an absolute value of the inclination of the straight line connected between a point of a density of 0.15 above the minimum density point and another point of a density 0.80 above the same minimum density point. The methods for hardening the above-mentioned tones in a toe portion include, for example, a method for narrowing the grain size distribution of silver halide emulsion grains. In the case of a color developer, for example, the tones in the toe portions can be hardened by increasing the amount of a color developing agent, decreasing the amount of hydroxylamine or a sulfite as a preservative to be replaced by a weak reducing agent such as xylol or sorbitol, by increasing a penetrant (such as benzyl alcohol), and by increasing the pH, temperature and developing time of a processing chemical while adding an antifoggant and a toe-portion cutting agent. In the case of a photosensitive material, a hydroquinone derivative capable of reducing an oxidized developing agent can effectively be used in the photosensitive material. These derivatives include, particularly, the compounds having the following Formula [AO-I] or [AO-II] as the compounds capable of effectively hardening the tones in the toe portions without spoiling any color hues and others. In Formula [AO-I], R 1 and R 2 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having not more than 8 carbon atoms (such as a methyl, ethyl, t-butyl or sec-hexyl group), an alkoxy group (such as a methoxy, ethoxy or butoxy group), an alkylthio group (such as a methylthio, butylthio or octylthio group) or an alkylamido group (such as a methaneamido, propaneamido or 2-ethylpentanoylamido group) and R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having not more than 11 carbon atoms (such as a methyl, propyl, heptyl or undecyl group); provided that R 1 and R 2 each preferably represent an alkyl group having not more than 6 carbon atoms, and R 3 preferably represents an alkyl group having not more than 7 carbon atoms. The total number of carbon atoms of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is within the range of from 8 to 22 and, preferably from 8 to 17. In Formula [AO-II], R 11 and R 12 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having not more than 5 carbon atoms (such as a methyl, ethyl, i-propyl, butyl, t-butyl, pentyl, t-pentyl or neo-pentyl group), and n is from 1 to 3. The compounds represented by Formula [AO-I] can be synthesized in accordance with the processes described eg. in JP OPI Publication No. 52-146235/1977, JP Examined Publication No. 56-21145/1981 or JP OPI Publication No. 59-37497/1984. The typical compounds thereof include, for example, those denoted by I-(1) to I-(12) given in JP OPI Publication No. 4-30164 at pages 67 to 69. Typical examples of the compounds represented by Formula [AO-II] will be given below. However, the compounds thereof shall not be limited thereto. The compounds represented by Formula [AO-I] may be added in an amount within the range of 2x10 -8 to 2x10 -2 mols/m 2 , preferably 2x10 -7 to 2x10 -3 mols/m 2 and particularly 2x10 -6 to 2x10 -4 mols/m 2 . The compounds represented by Formula [AO-II] may be added in an amount within the range of preferably 0.001 to 0.50 g/m 2 and particularly 0.005 to 0.20 g/m 2 . These compounds may be used independently or in combination. It is also allowed to use the compounds represented by Formula [AO-II] after adding a quinone derivative having not less than 5 carbon atoms thereto. In any cases thereof, the compounds are used in the total amounts preferably within the range of 0.001 to 0.50 g/m 2 . In forming an internal latent image forming type direct positive image preferably applicable to the invention, the fogging treatment can be performed by making an overall flood exposure or by making use of a foggant that is a compound capable of producing fogging nuclei. The above-mentioned overall flood exposure can be performed by dipping or wetting an imagewise exposed photosensitive material in a developer or other aqueous solution and then by exposing the photosensitive material overall and uniformly to flood light. Any light sources are applicable thereto, provided that they are capable of emitting the light having the same photosensitive wavelength region as that of the photosensitive material. Therefore, the high illuminance light such as flash light can be used for a short time or weak light can also be used for a long time. The overall flood exposure time may be widely varied so that the best positive image can finally be obtained to meet the photographic photosensitive material, the development requirements, the kinds of light sources used therein and so forth. It is most preferable that the exposure quantity for an overall flood exposure is to be within the range prescribed to meet the combination with a subject photosensitive material. Usually, when giving an excessive exposure quantity, the minimum density is made higher or a desensitization is induced thereby. Therefore, the resulting image quality tends to be deteriorated. Next, the foggants preferably applicable to the invention will be detailed below. As for the foggants applicable to the invention, a wide variety of compounds can be used. The foggants may be made present in the course of carrying out a development. For example, the foggants may be contained in the component layers of a photographic photosensitive material other than the support thereof, (among the layers, the silver halide emulsion layers are particularly preferable). The foggants may also be contained in a developer or in a processing solution to be used in advance of the developing step. The amount of the foggant used therein may be widely varied to meet the requirements. The amount thereof used is within the range of 1 to 1,500 mg and preferably 10 to 1,000 mg when adding it into a silver halide emulsion layer, and within the range of 0.01 to 5 g/liter and preferably 0.05 to 1 g/liter when adding it into a processing solution such as a developer. The foggants applicable to the invention include, for example, hydrazines given in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,563,785 and 2,588,982; hydrazide or hydrazine compounds given in U.S. Patent No. 3,227,552; heterocyclic quaternary nitrogen salt compounds given in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,615,615, 3,718,479, 3,719,494, 3,734,738 and 3,759,901; and the compounds having an adsorption group to silver halide surfaces, such as acylhydrazinophenylthio ureas given in U.S. Patent No. 4,030,925. These foggants may also be used in combination. For example, the foregoing RD 15162 describes that a non-adsorption type foggant is used with an adsorption type foggant in combination. This combination technique is also effective. As for the foggants applicable to the invention, any one of those of the adsorption type and the non-adsorption type can be used and the combinations thereof can also be used. Typical examples of the useful foggants may be given as follows. Namely, hydrazine compounds including hydrazine hydrochloride, 4-methylphenyl hydrazine hydrochloride, 1-acetyl-2-phenyl hydrazine, 1-formyl-2-(4-methylphenyl) hydrazine, 1-methylsulfonyl-2-phenyl hydrazine, 1-methylsulfonyl-2-(3-phenylsulfonamidophenyl) hydrazine, 1-benzoyl-2-phenyl hydrazine and formaldehydephenyl hydrazine; N-substituted quaternary cycloammonium salts including 3-(2-formylethyl)-2-methylbenzothiazolium bromide, 3-(2-acetyl ethyl)-2-benzyl-5-phenylbenzoxazolium bromide, 3-(2-acetyl ethyl)-2-benzylbenzoselenazolium bromide, 2-methyl-3-[3-(phenyl hydrazino) propyl] benzothiazolium bromide, 1,2-dihydro-3-methyl-4-phenyl pyrido [2,1-b] benzothiazolium bromide, 1,2-dihydro-3-methyl-4-phenyl pyrido [2,1-b] benzoselenazolium bromide and 4,4'-ethylene bis(1,2-dihydro-3-methyl pyrido [2,1-b] benzothiazolium bromide; 5-(3-ethyl-2-benzothiazolinidene)-3-[4-(2-formyl hydrazino) phenyl] rhodamine, 1,3-bis[4-(2-formyl hydrazino) phenyl] thiourea, 7-(3-ethoxythiocarbonylamino benzamido)-9-methyl-10-propargyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridinium trifluoromethane sulfonate and 1-formyl-2-[4-{3-(2-methoxyphenyl) ureido} phenyl] hydrazine. With any one of the photographic photosensitive materials comprising the silver halide emulsion layers relating to the invention, a direct positive image can be formed by exposing imagewise the photosensitive material to light and then by developing it, upon making an overall flood exposure or in the presence of a foggant. As for the developing agents applicable to the developers for developing the photographic photosensitive materials relating to the invention, typical examples thereof may be given as follows. Namely, common silver halide developing agents including polyhydroxy benzenes such as hydroquinone, aminophenols, 3-pyrazolidones, ascorbic acid and derivatives thereof, reductons, phenylenediamines or mixtures thereof.

It is also allowed that the above-given developing agents may be contained in an emulsion in advance so that the developing agents can work on silver halides when they are dipped in an aqueous high pH solution. The color photosensitive materials relating to the invention preferably contain a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound having a mercapto group represented by the following Formula [XI] (hereinafter referred to as a mercapto compound). wherein M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom, an ammonium group or a protective group for a mercapto group, and Z represents a group consisting of non-metal atoms necessary to form a heterocyclic ring, provided the heterocyclic ring may have a substituent or may also be condensed.

Among the compounds represented by Formula [XI], the preferably applicable compounds may be represented by the following Formulae [XII], [XIII] and [XIV]. In Formulae [XII] to [XIV], M is synonymous with M denoted in Formula [XI], R 21 and R 22 each represent a group substitutable to a benzene ring, Ar represents a phenyl group, R 23 represents a halogen atom or a hydroxyl, amino, nitro, mercapto or carboxyl group or a salt thereof, or an alkyl, aryl, aryloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, acylamino, sulfonamido or carbamoyl group, and Z 21 and Z 22 each represent an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or -NH-. Typical examples of the compounds represented by Formula [XI] include the compounds (1) to (39) given in JP OPI Publication No. 64-73338/1989, pp.11∼15. These compounds can readily be synthesized in any well-known methods including, for example, the methods described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,403,927 and 3,376,310, JP OPI Publication No. 55-59463/1980 and Journal of Chemical Society, 1952, p.4237. Some of the compounds are available on the market. The mercapto compounds useful in the invention can be added into photosensitive materials by dissolving them in water or a hydrophilic organic solvent such as methanol and acetone, or by dissolving them in a weak alkali or a weak acid. The amount thereof to be added may be varied suitably to meet the kinds of compounds used therein or the layers subject to the addition of the compounds. When they are added into silver halide emulsion layers, they are generally added in an amount within the range of from 10 -8 to 10 -2 mols and, preferably from 10 -6 to 10 -3 mols, per mol of silver halide used. The developers applicable to the invention may further contain a specific antifoggant and a development inhibitor, or these additives to developers can also be optionally incorporated into the component layers of photographic light sensitive materials.

The dye forming couplers are usually selected respectively to be able to produce dyes capable of absorbing the rays of light having the photospectral sensitivities of the corresponding emulsion layers. That is to say, a yellow dye forming coupler is applied to a blue-sensitive emulsion layer; a magenta dye forming coupler, to a green-sensitive emulsion layer; and a cyan dye forming coupler, to a red-sensitive emulsion layer; respectively. However, it is also allowed to prepare a silver halide color photographic light sensitive material in any other ways than the above-mentioned combination so as to meet the purposes. It is preferable that these dye-forming couplers are to contain a so-called ballast group, that is, a non-coupler-diffusing group having not less than 8 carbon atoms in the molecules of the coupler. These dye-forming couplers may be either one of those of the 4-equivalent type in which the silver ions of the four molecules are required to be reduced for forming one molecule of a dye, and those of 2-equivalent type, in which the silver ions of the two molecules are required for forming one molecule of a dye. It is also allowed to use a DIR coupler capable of releasing a development inhibitor while carrying out a development so that the sharpness and graininess of the resulting images can be improved, or a DIR compound capable of producing a colorless compound upon making a coupling reaction with the oxidized products of a developing agent and, at the same time, releasing a development inhibitor. The DIR couplers and DIR compounds each applicable thereto include those each directly bonding an inhibitor to the coupling position thereof, and those each bonding an inhibitor to the coupling position thereof through a divalent group and the inhibitor can be released with eg. any one of an intramolecular nucleophilic reaction or an intramolecular electron-transfer reaction produced in the group split off in the coupling reaction, (these couplers and compounds are referred to as timing DIR couplers and timing DIR compounds, respectively.) A colorless coupler capable of making a coupling reaction with the oxidized products of an aromatic primary amine developing agent, but incapable of producing any dye (that is a so-called competing coupler) may also be used with a dye forming coupler in combination. In the magenta image forming layers relating to the invention, the compound represented by the following Formula [M-I] is preferably contained. In the above-given formula, Z represents a group consisting of non-metal atoms necessary to form a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring, provided that the ring formed of the above-mentioned Z may also have a substituent. X represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of splitting off upon making a reaction with the oxidized products of a color developing agent; and R represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent. In the above-given Formula [M-I], there is no special limitation to the substituents represented by R. However, they include, typically, alkyl, aryl, anilino, acylamino, sulfonamido, alkylthio, arylthio, alkenyl or cycloalkyl and, besides, they also include, a halogen atom, each of the groups of cycloalkenyl, alkinyl, heterocyclic, sulfonyl, sulfinyl, phosphonyl, acyl, carbamoyl, sulfamoyl, cyano, alkoxy, aryloxy, heterocyclic-oxy, siloxy, acyloxy, carbamoyloxy, amino, alkylamino, imido, ureido, sulfamoylamino, alkoxycarbonylamino, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl or heterocyclic-thio groups, a spiro-compound residual group and a cross-linked hydrocarbon compound residual group. The substituents represented by R, the groups capable of splitting off upon making a reaction with the oxidized products of a color developing agent, the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rings formed by Z and the rings formed by Z, each may have the above-mentioned substituents, as described above. The preferable scope of the substituents and typical examples thereof, and the preferable scope of the magenta couplers represented by Formula [M-I] are each the same as those given in European Patent Publication No. 0327272, p.5, the 23rd line to p.8, the 52th line. Typical examples of the magenta couplers represented by Formula [M-I] will be given below. Further, other typical examples thereof include those not already listed above from compounds M-1 to M-16 given in European Patent Publication No. 0273712, pp. 6∼21 and compounds 1 to 223 given in European Patent Publication No. 0235913, pp. 36∼92. The aforementioned couplers can be synthesized with reference to Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin I, 1977, 2047∼2052; U.S. Patent No. 3,725,067; and JP OPI Publication Nos. 59-99437/1984, 58-42045/1983, 59-162548/1984, 59-171956/1984, 60-33552/1985, 60-43659/1985, 60-172982/1985, 60-190779/1985, 62-209457/1987 and 63-307453/1988. The above-described couplers may also be used with other kinds of magenta couplers in combination and may be commonly used in an amount within the range of from 1x10 -3 mols to 1 mol and, preferably from 1x10 -2 mols to 8x10 -1 mols, each per mol of silver halide used. In the color photographic light sensitive materials of the invention, λL0.2 of the spectral absorption of a magenta image is preferably within the range of from 580 to 635nm. In the silver halide color photographic light sensitive materials of the invention, when the λL0.2 thereof is within the range of from 580 to 635nm, the λmax of the spectral absorption of a magenta image is preferably within the range of from 530 to 560nm. In the silver halide color photographic light sensitive materials of the invention, the λL0.2 and λmax of the spectral absorption of a magenta image are the values measured in the following procedures. (Procedures for measuring λL0.2 and λmax) In the case of a positive type silver halide color photographic light sensitive material, it is exposed uniformly to red light having a minimum quantity to obtain the minimum density of a cyan image and is then exposed uniformly to blue light having a minimum quantity to obtain the minimum density of a yellow image. Successively, it is exposed to white light through an ND filter and then developed. At that time, the ND filter density is so adjusted as to have the maximum value of a light absorbance of 1.0, when the spectral absorption between 500 and 700nm is measured upon attaching an integrating sphere to a spectrophotometer, and a zero correction is made by a standard white plate made of magnesium oxide, so that a magenta image can be formed. In the case of a negative type silver halide color photographic light sensitive material, an ND filter density is so adjusted as to have the maximum light absorbance in the same manner as in the case of the positive type light sensitive materials, when a magenta image is formed by exposing the light sensitive material to green light through the ND filter and is then developed. The term, λL0.2, herein means a wavelength longer than the wavelengths showing the maximum light absorbance of 1.0 in the spectral absorbance curve of the magenta image, that is, the wavelength showing a light absorbance of 0.2. In the silver halide photographic photosensitive materials relating to the invention, the magenta image forming layer thereof contains a yellow coupler as well as a magenta coupler. The difference of the pKa between these couplers is to be preferably within two and particularly within 1.5. In the magenta image forming layer, the magenta couplers to be contained therein are those represented by the following Formula [Y-Ia]. Among the yellow couplers represented by Formula [Y-Ia] and when they are contained therein together with a magenta coupler represented by Formula [M-1] in combination, the particularly preferable yellow couplers include, for example, those having a pKa value of not less than 3 as compared with a pKa value of the coupler represented by Formula [M-1] that is subject to the combination use. In Formula [Y-Ia], R 31 represents a halogen atom or an alkoxy group; R 32 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkoxy group that may have a substituent; R 33 represents an acylamino group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an alkylsulfamoyl group, an arylsulfamoyl group, an arylsulfonamido group, an alkylureido group, an arylureido group, a succinimido group, an alkoxy group or an aryloxy group, each of which may have a substituent. Z 30 represents a hydrogen atom, a monovalent organic group capable of splitting off upon coupling with the oxidized products of a color developing agent, or a halogen atom. Typical examples of the compounds preferably applicable thereto include the compounds (Y-1) through (Y-58) given in JP OPI Publication No. 2-139542/1990, pp.(13)∼(17), as well as the following compounds Y-2 and Y-2. However, the invention shall not be limited thereto. In the magenta image forming layer of the silver halide color photographic photosensitive materials of the invention, the proportion of the magenta and yellow coupler contents may be so determined as to make approximate the spectral absorption of a dye image obtained by color developing the magenta image forming layer to the spectral absorption of a printed image obtained by printing it with a magenta printing ink. To be more concrete, the yellow coupler content is suitably to be within the range of 0.02 to 0.5 mols per mol of the magenta couplers used. In the silver halide color photographic photosensitive materials of the invention, the yellow couplers which are preferably contained in the magenta image forming layer include, for example, those represented by the foregoing Formula [Y-Ia]. In the invention, as for the cyan couplers, which are to be contained in a cyan image forming layer, cyan dye-forming couplers of the phenol or naphthol type may be used. Among them, the couplers represented by the following Formula [C-I] or [C-II] may preferably be used.

Z 40 represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of splitting off upon reacting with the oxidized products of an aromatic primary amine type color developing agent. In Formula [C-II], R 44 represents an alkyl group (such as a methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl or nonyl group); R 45 represents an alkyl group (such as a methyl or ethyl group); R 46 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom (such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine) or an alkyl group (such as a methyl or ethyl group); Z 47 is synonymous with Z 40 denoted in Formula [C-I] and represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of splitting off upon reacting with the oxidized products of an aromatic primary amine type color developing agent. The above-mentioned cyan couplers are detailed in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 2,306,410, 2,356,475, 2,362,596, 2,367,531, 2,369,929, 2,423,730, 2,474,293, 2,476,008, 2,498,466, 2,545,687, 2,728,660, 2,772,162, 2,895,826, 2,976,146, 3,002,836, 3,419,390, 3,446,622, 3,476,563, 3,737,316, 3,758,308 and 3,839,044; British Patent Nos. 478,991, 945,542, 1,084,480, 1,377,233, 1,388,024 and 1,543,040; and JP OPI Publication Nos. 47-37425/1972, 50-10135/1975, 50-25228/1975, 50-112038/1975, 50-117422/1975, 50-130441/1975, 51-6551/1976, 51-37647/1976, 51-52828/1976, 51-108841/1976, 53-109630/1978, 54-48237/1979, 54-66129/1979, 54-131931/1979, 55-32071/1980, 59-146,050/1984, 59-31,953/1984 and 60-117,249/1985. In each of silver halide emulsion layers, the couplers applicable to the invention may be used ordinarily in an amount within the range of from 1x10 -3 to 1 mol and, preferably, from 1x10 -2 to 8x10 -1 mols per mol of silver halide. The above-mentioned couplers are usually dissolved in a high boiling organic solvent having a boiling point of not less than 150°C and, if required, a low boiling and/or water-soluble organic solvent in combination, and the resulting solution is emulsified and dispersed, in a hydrophilic binder such as an aqueous gelatin solution, by making use of a surfactant. After that, the resulting dispersed emulsion may be added into an objective hydrophilic colloidal layer. Wherein, it is also allowed to supplement with a step for removing the low boiling organic solvent after completing or at the same time of the dispersion. In the invention, the proportion of the high boiling organic solvent relating to the invention to the low boiling organic solvent is to be within the range of from 1:0.1 to 1:50 and, preferably from 1:1 to 1:20. The high boiling organic solvents relating to the invention may be those of the any types, provided that they are the compound having a permittivity of not higher than 6.0.

Among them, the benzoyl acetoanilide type and pivaloyl acetanilide type compounds can advantageously be used. In the material of the invention, λ L0.2 of a yellow image is preferably 515nm. In the material of the invention, 'λ L0.2' is defined as follows. In the following defined spectral absorbance A(λ) of a yellow image, an average absorbance value Am from 560 to 650nm is standardized, and, in the yellow image, when the absorbance Amax thereof is 1.0 ± 0.05 higher than Am in wavelength λmax corresponding to the maximum absorbance Amax of the above-mentioned spectral absorbance, a wavelength on the longer wavelength side than the above-mentioned λmax and corresponding to absorbance A = 0.8 x Am + 0.2 x Amax is defined as λ L0.2. Also, λ L0.2 means a wavelength showing A = 0.2 x Am + 0.8 x Amax in the above-mentioned spectral absorbance. Amax is a light absorbance in λmax of a yellow image and is usually obtained from the range of not less than 400nm. When the maximum value of a color image is not obtained by other factors such as the presence of a UV absorbent or the like, such an Amax is represented by a light absorbance obtained from a wavelength between 400 to 500nm in which the absolute value of dA/dλ is minimized, that is, a light absorbance obtained in the shoulder portion. The above-mentioned yellow image is formed by controlling the separation exposure conditions to be maximized so that Amax-Am can be minimized when the Amax-Am is 1.0 ± 0.05, and then by the development is carried out. Herein, the spectral absorption of the above-mentioned yellow image is to be preferably λL0.8 > 450nm and particularly λL0.8 > 455nm. And, λL0.2 is to be preferably not more than 510nm. λmax is to be preferably not less than 430nm. Herein, the spectral absorption measurements are carried out through a spectrophotometer Model 320 manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd., to which an integrating sphere is attached. When a light sensitive material of the invention contains a coupler as the substance for forming a yellow image, any types of couplers can be used therein, provided they can satisfy the above-mentioned requirements. However, the preferable couplers include, for example, the couplers represented by the following Formula [Y-I]: In the above-given formula, R 1 represents an alkyl or cycloalkyl group; R 2 represents an alkyl, cycloalkyl, acyl or aryl group; R 3 represents a group capable of being substituted to a benzene ring; n is 0 or 1; Y represents a monovalent ballast group; and Z represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of splitting off when making a coupling reaction. Examples of the couplers preferably applicable thereto include, typically, compounds Y-I-1 to Y-I-55 each given in JP OPI Publication No. 3-241345/1991 and, besides the above, the compounds Y-1 to Y-30 each given in JP OPI Publication No. 3-209466/1991 may also preferably be used. In silver halide emulsion layers, the above-mentioned yellow coupler is usually contained in an amount within the range of from 1x10 -3 to 1 mol and preferably from 1x10 -2 to 8x10 -1 mols per silver halide used. The cyan dye-forming couplers applicable thereto include, for example, those well-known as the phenol type, naphthol type of the imidazole type and, to be more concrete, they include, typically, a phenol type coupler substituted with an alkyl, acylamino or ureido group, a naphthol type coupler produced of a 5-aminonaphthol skeleton, and a 2-equivalent naphthol type coupler introduced thereinto with an oxygen atom as a split-off group. In the photosensitive materials of the invention, any high boiling organic solvents can be used with couplers in combination. However, the preferably applicable organic solvents include, for example, those represented by the following Formula [HBS-I] or [HBS-II]. In Formula [HBS-I], R 54 , R 55 and R 56 represent each an alkyl or aryl group, provided that at least two of R 54 , R 55 and R 56 represent each an alkyl group having not more than 16 carbon atoms. In Formula [HBS-II], R 57 , R 58 and R 59 each represent an aliphatic or aromatic group; and p, q and r each represent 0 or 1, provided that p, q and r shall not each represent 1 at the same time. Typical examples of the compounds represented by Formula [HBS-I] or [HBS-II] include compounds I-1 to II-95 given in JP OPI Publication No. 2-124568/1990. However, the invention shall not be limited thereto.

EXAMPLES The invention will be detailed with reference to the following examples. However, the invention shall not be limited thereto. Example 1 (Preparation of Emulsion EM-1) A cubic silver chlorobromide core emulsion was prepared, in a controlled double-jet precipitation method, by adding at the same time an aqueous solution containing ammonia and silver nitrate and an aqueous solution containing potassium bromide and sodium chloride (in a mol ratio of KBr:NaCl = 95:5), while controlling an aqueous ossein gelatin containing solution to be kept at 40°C. At that time, the pH and pAg thereof were so controlled as to form cubic grains. To the resulting core emulsion, another aqueous solution containing ammonia and silver nitrate, and another aqueous solution containing potassium bromide and sodium chloride (in a mol ratio of KBr:NaCl = 40:60) were further added at the same time, in a controlled double-jet precipitation method, so that the shells were grown up to have an average grain size of 0.42µm. At that time, the pH and pAg thereof were so controlled as to form cubic grains. After completing a washing treatment to remove the resulting water-soluble salts, gelatin was then added, so that Emulsion EM-1 could be prepared. The resulting emulsion EM-1 was proved to have a distribution range of 8%. (Preparation of Emulsion EM-2) A cubic silver chlorobromide core emulsion having a grain size of 0.18µm was prepared, in a controlled double-jet precipitation method, by adding at the same time an aqueous solution containing ammonia and silver nitrate, and an aqueous solution containing potassium bromide and sodium chloride (in a mol ratio of KBr:NaCl = 95:5), while controlling an aqueous ossein gelatin containing solution to be kept at 40°C . At that time, the pH and pAg thereof were so controlled as to form cubic grains. To the resulting core emulsion, another aqueous solution containing ammonia and silver nitrate, and another aqueous solution containing potassium bromide and sodium chloride (in a mol ratio of KBr:NaCl = 40:60) were further added at the same time, in a controlled double-jet precipitation method, so that the shells were grown up to have an average grain size of 0.25µm. At that time, the pH and pAg thereof were so controlled as to form cubic grains. After completing a washing treatment to remove the resulting water-soluble salts, gelatin was then added, so that Emulsion EM-2 could be prepared. The resulting emulsion EM-2 was proved to have a distribution range of 8%.

Next, the black and magenta printers were each brought into close contact with the samples and were then exposed to light under the following exposure condition-2. Finally, the black and yellow printers were each brought into close contact with the samples and were then exposed to light under the following exposure condition-3. Samples 2A to 2E were each exposed to light under the exposure conditions-1 to -3 in order, in the same manner as in Samples 1A to 1E. The exposed Samples were each brought into close contact with only a black printer of the original document and were then exposed to light under the following exposure condition-4. The exposed photosensitive materials were each processed in the following development steps and the resulting dye image densities were each measured. Then, the comparisons were made between the resulting densities and the densities of the proof prints obtained from the four color printers of the above-mentioned halftone dot original document. The image qualities of the resulting halftone dot images and the color approximations thereof were evaluated. When the densities were measured, a densitometer, Model PD-65 manufactured by Konica Corp. was used. The resulting halftone dot image qualities were evaluated in the following criteria: ○ Color proof having halftone dot image quality coincident with the subject printed matter; Δ Color proof having a color balance shifted from the subject printed matter; × Color proof having small dots battered more than those of the subject printed matter; and ×× Color proof having small and large dots each battered more than those of the subject printed matter. The color approximations were each evaluated by the following grades; ○ (Color was extremely close to that of the subject printed matter); Δ (Color was not close to that of the subject printed matter in the case of some color hues); and × (Color hues were different from those of the subject printed matter). The results obtained will be collectively shown in the following Table 2. (Exposure condition-1) Each of the photosensitive materials was exposed to white light through a red filter (Wratten No. 26) and an ND filter. At that time, the ND filter density was adjusted to provide the minimum exposure quantity obtained when the red light density was minimized after processing the photosensitive materials, and the exposures were each made for 0.5 seconds in the above-mentioned minimum exposure quantity. (Exposure condition-2) Each of the photosensitive materials was exposed to white light through a green filter (Wratten No. 58) and an ND filter. At that time, the ND filter density was adjusted to provide the minimum exposure quantity obtained when the green light density was minimized after processing the photosensitive materials, and the exposures were each made for 0.5 seconds in the above-mentioned minimum exposure quantity. (Exposure condition-3) Each of the photosensitive materials was exposed to white light through a blue filter (Wratten No. 47B) and an ND filter. At that time, the ND filter density was adjusted to provide the minimum exposure quantity obtained when the blue light density was minimized after processing the photosensitive materials, and the exposures were each made for 0.5 seconds in the above-mentioned minimum exposure quantity. (Exposure condition-4) Each of the photosensitive materials was exposed to light under the above-mentioned exposure conditions-1 to -3 in order, and the resulting exposed samples were then exposed to tungsten light through an infrared filter and an ND filter. At that time, the ND filter density was adjusted to provide the minimum exposure quantity obtained when the visible light density was minimized after processing the samples, and the exposures were made each for 0.5 seconds in the above-mentioned minimum exposure quantity. Only the exposure to be made to tungsten light through the infrared filter was regarded as Exposure condition-4. In this case, a daylight fluorescent lamp was used as the light source for each of the Exposure conditions-1 to -3. The following development steps were carried out, wherein, however, the fogging exposure was made uniformly on overall surfaces of the photosensitive materials through the 3mm-thick developer layer while dipping them in a developer.
