Description: The present invention relates to a black-and-white silver halide photographic light-sensitive material capable of forming a high-contrast image when processed in a developer solution with high preservability and to a processing method therefor. Photomechanical processes normally include the step of transforming a continuous-gradation original image into a halftone-dot image. Such processes usually involve a super-high-contrast image producing photographic technique employing infectious development. The silver halide emulsion of the lithographic silver halide light-sensitive material for use in the infectious development is a high-silver-chloride-content (at least 50 mol%) silver chlorobromide emulsion comprising uniformly shaped silver halide grains having an average grain size of about 0.2µm with a narrow grain size distribution. The lithographic silver halide light-sensitive material of this type, when processed in an alkaline hydroquinone developer solution having a low sulfate ion concentration, i.e., a lith-type developer solution, can provide an image having high contrast, high sharpness and high resolution. The lith-type developer solution, however, is not preservable because it is subject to degradation by oxidation, so it is difficult to keep its developability constant when used continuously. Alternative methods for rapidly forming high-contrast images without using such non-preservable lith-type developer solution include, for example, methods in which a tetrazolium salt or a hydrazine derivative is added to the light-sensitive material. According to this technique, high contrast images can be obtained even by using a well preservable developer solution for rapid processing. EP-A- 0 508 389 which forms part of the state of the art by virtue of Article 54(3) EPC discloses a silver halide photographic light sensitive material comprising an emulsion layer and a protective layer, the emulsion layer containing a cyclodextrin compound and a hydrazine derivative. However, the printing industry seeks techniques for producing better-quality printed matter, since there is a strong demand for better photographic image quality, particularly with improved image sharpness. Hydrazine-derivative-containing silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials have the problem that after being processed, sandy fine black spots, so-called pepper fog occurs on the unexposed area. However, no measures for solving this problem have yet been found. Where a tetrazolium salt is used to harden the light-sensitive material, the developer solution used for processing the light-sensitive material must contain a development restrainer. However the development restrainer is hardly soluble in water and it requires the use of a large amount of an organic solvent, which causes an environmental problem at the time of processing and a problem of how to dispose of the waste developer. The present invention provides solutions to the above-mentioned problems. Accordingly, in a method for processing a tetrazolium salt or hydrazine derivative-containing silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and processing chemicals used therefor, the objects of the present invention are to provide a processing method which is capable of forming a photographic image having an excellent sharpness, which is improved with respect to its environmental impact at the time of processing and when the waste developer is disposed and when processing a hydrazine derivative-containing silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, it provides a product free from black spots. According to the present invention there is provided a method for processing a black-and-white silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support, a silver halide emulsion layer and a protective layer provided on said emulsion layer, wherein said material comprises a compound represented by the following formula (T) in said emulsion layer or the protective layer or a hydrazine compound in said emulsion layer comprising the steps of; exposing said material, and developing the exposed material with a developer containing a cyclodextrin compound; wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent; and X - represents an anion. According to the invention, there is further provided a black-and-white silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support, a silver halide emulsion layer and a protective layer on said silver halide photographic emulsion layer wherein said material contains a cyclodextrin compound in said emulsion layer or said protective layer and a compound represented by the above formula T in said emulsion layer or protective layer. In Formula T, preferred examples of the substituent represented by R 1 , R 2 or R 3 include alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, cyclopropyl, propyl, isopropyl, cyclobutyl, butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, cyclohexyl ; an amino group; acylamino groups such as acetylamino; hydroxyl ; alkoxy groups such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, pentoxy; acyloxy groups such as acetyloxy; halogen atoms such as flourine, chlorine, bromine; carbamoyl groups; acylthio groups such as acetylthio; alkoxycarbonyl groups such as ethoxycarbonyl; carboxyl group; acyl groups such as acetyl; cyano group, nitro group, mercapto group, sulfoxy group and aminosulfoxy group.

Examples of the compound represented by Formula T are listed in Table T. The tetrazolium compound represented by Formula T can be synthesized by known methods. For example, the coupling reaction of a diazonium salt with a hydrazine compound may be used to form a diazohydrazine, which can then be reacted with an aldehyde to obtain a formazan. The formazan is then oxidized, whereby the desired tetrazolium compound can be obtained. For the synthesis reference can be made to Chemical Reviews, vol.55, pp.335 to 483. The tetrazolium compound represented by Formulat may be used alone to obtain preferred image characteristics. Discretional combined use of two or more kinds of the compound does not adversely affect the image characteristics.

These cyclodextrin derivatives are detailed in M. L. Bender and M. Komiyama, 'Cyclodextrin Chemistry, Shupringer-Ferlarg (1978). The above etherified derivatives of the cyclodextrin include compounds derived from the compound of Formula I by alkylating a hydroxyl group to an ether. The preferred ether derivatives are those which are etherified at the second and sixth positions thereof, examples of which include heptakis-2,6-dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin, hexakis-2,6-dimethyl-a-cyclodextrin, and octakis-2,6-dimethyl-y-cyclo-dextrin. For example, heptakis-2,6-dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin is very soluble, and has 10 times higher solubility in water than β-cyclodextrin, which has a solubility in water of 1.85g/100 ml ; therefore it is possible to prepare a concentrated aquares solution of the derivative, so it is expected that the derivative is better than β-cyclodextrin. The branched cyclodextrin preferably used in the invention is obtained by branch-addition or coupling of a water-soluble material like a monosaccharide or a bisaccharide such as glucose, maltose, cellobiose, lactose, cane sugar, galactose or glucosamine to a known cyclodextrin; and preferably maltosyl cyclodextrin obtained by coupling maltose to cyclodextrin (number of molecules of maltose coupled may be any of 1, 2 or 3 molecules) or glucosyl cyclodextrin obtained by coupling glucose to cyclodextrin (number of molecules of glucose coupled may be any of 1, 2 or 3 molecules). These branched cyclodextrin compounds may be synthesized according to the known synthesis methods described in the 'Denpun Kagaku' (Starch Chemistry), vol.33, No.2, p.119 to 126 (1986) and p.127 to 132 (1986); 'Denpun Kagaku' vol.30, No.2, p.231 to 239 (1983). For example, maltosyl cyclodextrin can be produced from cyclodextrin and maltose using an enzyme such as isoamylase or plunalase. Glucosyl cyclodextrin can also be produced in a similar manner. Suitable branched cyclodextrin compounds for the invention include the following exemplified compounds: Exemplified compounds D-1 α-cyclodextrin coupled with 1 molecule of maltose D-2 β-cyclodextrin coupled with 1 molecule of maltose D-3 γ-cyclodextrin coupled with 1 molecule of maltose D-4 α-cyclodextrin coupled with 2 molecules of maltose D-5 β-cyclodextrin coupled with 2 molecules of maltose D-6 γ-cyclodextrin coupled with 2 molecules of maltose D-7 α-cyclodextrin coupled with 3 molecules of maltose D-8 β-cyclodextrin coupled with 3 molecules of maltose D-9 γ-cyclodextrin coupled with 3 molecules of maltose D-10 α-cyclodextrin coupled with 1 molecule of glucose D-11 B-cyclodextrin coupled with 1 molecule of glucose D-12 γ-cyclodextrin coupled with 1 molecule of glucose D-13 α-cyclodextrin coupled with 2 molecules of glucose D-14 β-cyclodextrin coupled with 2 molecules of glucose D-15 γ-cyclodextrin coupled with 2 molecules of glucose D-16 α-cyclodextrin coupled with 3 molecules of glucose D-17 β-cyclodextrin coupled with 3 molecules of glucose D-18 γ-cyclodextrin coupled with 3 molecules of glucose The structures of these branched cyclodextrin compounds have so far been continuously investigated according to measuring methods such as the INEPT method, but are not established yet. However, it is certain according to the above method that the monosaccharides or disaccharides are coupled to cyclodextrin. Therefore where multimolecular monosaccharides or disaccharides coupled to cyclodextrin are used in the invention, cases where cyclodextrin is coupled separately with molecules of glucose and where cyclodextrin is coupled in the straight-chain form with one glucose are included. In the above branched cyclodextrin compound, the existing cyclodextrin's cyclic structure is retained intact, so that it shows a similar clathrate action to that of the existing cyclodextrin, and highly water-soluble maltose or glucose is added thereto to improve remarkably its solubility in water. The branched cyclodextrin used in the invention is commercially available; for example, maltosyl cyclodextrin is commercially available under the trade name of 'Isoelete' (registered trademark) from Ensuiko-seito Co. The branched cyclodextrin used in the invention is preferably in powdered form. As the cyclodextrin polymer used in the invention those represented by the following Formula II are suitable. The cyclodextrin polymer used in the invention can be produced by the crosslinking polymerization of cyclodextrin with use of, e.g., epichlorohydrin. The above cyclodextrin polymer has a solubility in water of preferably not less than 20g per 100 ml of water at 25°C. In order to meet this requirement, the polymerization degree n 2 in the above Formula II needs to be 3 or 4. The smaller this value, the higher is water-solubility of the cyclodextrin itself and the greater is the solubilization effect of the material. These cyclodextrin polymers can be synthesized in accordance with common methods as described in JP O.P.I. No. 97025/-1986 and German Patent No. 3,544,842. The above cyclodextrin polymer also may, as aforementioned, be used as a clathrate compound. The water-soluble cyclodextrin polymer having a medium molecular weight can be prepared by several methods. According to one of these methods, firstly cyclodextrin is transformed into an unsaturated polymerizable derivative, which is then polymerized as it is, or polymerized with a monomer free of cyclodextrin (as described in J. Polym. Sci. Letters, vol. 13, p.357, 1975). According to another method, the cyclodextrin molecule is transformed into a straight-chain or branched-chain non-crosslinked water-soluble polymer derivative by use of a bifunctional reagent such as diepoxide or epichlorohydrin (as described in Hungarian Patent No. 180597), or into an ionic group-substituted water-soluble polymer product (as described in Hungarian Patent No. 191101). To introduce an ionic functional group there is used a reagent capable of reacting with an alcoholic hydroxy group in an alkaline medium that is used for preparation of the polymer. The above reagent, with, e.g., a haloalkylamine or haloalkanic acid, introduces an amino or carboxy group. Also, a reagent capable of reacting with an epoxy group which is formed at the end of the chain during the production of the epoxy group or polymer of the coupling agent may be used. In the invention, the cyclodextrin compound is added to a silver halide emulsion layer and/or its protective layer or to a developer solution for use in processing the same. The amount of the compound added is preferably 0.1 to 8g/m 2 , more preferably 0.3 to 1.6g/m 2 to the silver halide emulsion layer and/or its protective layer, and preferably 0.1 to 100g/liter, more preferably 0.5 to 50g/liter to the developer solution. The cyclodextrin compound is preferably added to be adjacent to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound in the development for image formation, so the latter compound can swiftly dissolve in the developer solution and give a remarkable effect. The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound preferably used in the invention includes those represented by the following Formulae III, IV and V: In Formulas III to V, Y 1 is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom or a mercapto group; R 4 and Y 2 each independently are a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, an amino group, a cyano group, a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group, a sulfo group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a hydroxycarbonyl group, an alkylcarbonyl group or an alkoxycarbonyl group; and n is an integer of 1 to 4. Typical examples of the compound represented by Formula III are as follows: III-1 5-nitroindazole III-2 6-nitroindazole III-3 5-sulfoindazole III-4 5-cyanoindazole III-5 6-cyanoindazole III-6 2-mercaptoindazole Typical examples of the compound represented by Formula IV are as follows IV-1 Benzotriazole IV-2 5-methylbenzotriazole IV-3 5-chlorobenzotriazole IV-4 5-nitrobenzotriazole IV-5 5-ethylbenzotriazole IV-6 5-carboxybenzotriazole IV-7 5-hydroxybenzotriazole IV-8 5-aminobenzotriazole IV-9 5-sulfobenzotriazole IV-10 5-cyanobenzotriazole IV-11 5-methoxybenzotriazole IV-12 5-ethoxybenzotriazole IV-13 5-mercaptobenzotriazole Typical examples of the compound represented by Formula V are as follows: V-1 Benzimidazole V-2 5-sulfobenzimidazole V-3 5-methoxybenzimidazole V-4 5-chlorobenzimidazole V-5 5-nitrobenzimidazole V-6 2-mercapto-5-sulfobenzimidazole The above are compounds known as antifoggants in the photographic art. These can be synthesized in accordance with known synthesis methods, and some of them are commercially available as chemical reagents. Where one of these compounds of Formulae III to V is added to a developer solution, the amount added is preferably 0.0001 to 2g per liter of the developer solution. If the added amount is less than the above range, the compound is unable to exhibit its antifogging effect, while if it is larger than the above range, the sensitivity of a light-sensitive material in processing is lowered. To add the water-less-soluble antifoggant and cyclodextrin so that they are adjacent, the water-less-soluble antifoggant should be dissolved in an appropriate solvent such as methanol or ethanol and added to compositions for coating a silver halide emulsion layer and/or its protective layer, and cyclodextrin should be incorporated in the same layer. Alternatively, to make the most of the cyclodextrin's characteristic as a cyclic compound, various clathrate compounds may be made from the cyclodextrin compound and a variety of water-less-soluble antifoggants, and the clathrate compound may be added. The clathrating may be made physically by dissolving cyclodextrin in water and the water-less-soluble antifoggant in a solvent and mixing both solutions at high speed. The antifoggant-cyclodextrin mixing ratio is preferably 1:1 to 1:10, and more preferably 1:1 to 1:5. The above addition method enables the cyclodextrin compound and water-less-soluble antifoggant to swiftly dissolve with no solvent in a processing solution, thus enabling the objective interaction with silver halide grains. In the invention, the 'processing in a solution containing a cyclodextrin compound' implies particularly a developing process. The developer contains various water-less-soluble antifoggants, for which solvents such as alkanolamines, glycols are generally used in a large amount to dissolve them or to prevent them from precipitating. According to a preferred feature of the invention, the amount of these solvents can be reduced by a large amount. Thus the amount of the solvent in a developer solution to be used in the invention is preferably 70 to 100g, more preferably 30 to 60g per gram of the water-less-soluble antifoggrant, and the amount of the cyclodextrin compound to be added is preferably 1 to 30g, more preferably 3 to 12g per liter of a developer solution. Preparation of a developer solution can be made with no solvent at all. In this case, the cyclodextrin compound and water-less-soluble antifoggant can be added in the form of a clathrate compound to the developer solution. The water-less-soluble antifoggant-cyclodextrin compound molar ratio used for the clathrate compound formation is preferably 1:1 to 1:20, more preferably 1:3 to 1:10; after physically high-speed mixing, a clathrate compound is extracted into an aqueous system, which may be added as it is. By adopting the above manner, a developer solution can be prepared with no solvent at all. In the silver halide emulsion layer of the invention there may be used light-sensitive silver halide grains having preferably an average grain diameter of 0.05 to 0.3 µm, wherein the average grain diameter, in the case of spherical grains, is the diameter, while in the case of nonspherical grains, is the diamter of a circle equivalent in area to the projection image. The silver halide emulsion is preferably of silver halide grains of which those having grain diameters within the average grain diameter ± 10% range account for 60% or more of all the grains. As the silver halide emulsion used in the silver halide emulsion layer used in the invention (hereinafter called 'silver halide emulsion' or merely 'emulsion') there may be used any silver halide known for ordinary silver halide emulsions, such as silver bromide, silver iodide, silver iodochloride, silver chlorobromide and silver chloride; more preferably, silver chlorobromide containing not less than 60 mol% silver chloride is used as a negative-type silver halide emulsion; and silver chloride, silver chlorobromide containing not less than 10 mol% silver bromide, silver bromide or silver iodobromide is used as a positive-type silver halide emulsion. The silver halide grains used in the silver halide emulsion may be produced according to an acidic, neutral or ammoniacal process. The grain may be grown in a continuous process, or after first preparing a seed grain. The method of making seed grains and the method of growing grains may be either the same or different. In the preparation of the silver halide emulsion, halide ions and silver ions may be simultaneously mixed or one may be mixed in a solution of the other. The silver halide grains may be grown by adding sequentially simultaneously halide ions and silver ions, taking into account the silver halide crystal's critical growing rate and controlling pH and pAg inside the mixture solution thereof. This method makes it possible to obtain silver halide grains having a regular crystal form and nearly uniform grain sizes. After growth of the grain, its halide composition may be changed. The silver halide emulsion, during its preparation, may have its silver halide grain sizes, grain forms, grain size distribution and grain's growing rate controlled, if necessary, by using a silver halide solvent. Examples of silver halide solvents include ammonia, thioether, thiourea, thiourea derivatives such as 4-substituted thiourea and imidazole derivatives. For suitable thioether solvants reference can be made to U.S. Patent Nos. 3,271,157, 3,790,387 and 3,574,628. The amount of the solvent used, in the case of a nonammonia solvent, is preferably 10 -3 to 1.0 % by weight, more preferably 10 -2 to 10 -1 % by weight of the reaction solution. and for ammonia any suitable amount may be used. The silver halide grain used in the silver halide emulsion may contain inside and/or on its surface a metallic element by adding metallic ions thereto in the grain forming process and/or in the growing process, using at least one metallic salt selected from cadmium salts, zinc salts, lead salts, thalium salts, iridium salts including complex salts thereof, rhodium salts including complex salts thereof and iron salts including complex salts thereof; particularly a water-soluble rhodium salt is preferred. By being placed in an appropriate reductive atmosphere, the silver halide grain can be provided with a reduction sensitization nucleus inside and/or on its surface. The amount of water-soluble rhodium salt added is preferably 1x10 -7 to 1x10 -4 mol per mol of AgX. After completion of the growth of the silver halide emulsion, the remaining soluble salts may either be removed or left. If the salts should be removed, the removal may be carried out according to Research. Disclosure 17643. The silver halide grains used in the silver halide emulsion may either have a uniform silver halide composition distribution or are of the core/shell type with a difference in composition between their inside and outside. The silver halide grains may either form a latent image mainly on their surface or form a latent image mainly in their inside. The silver halide grain may be in a regular crystal form such as a cubic, octahedral or tetradecahedral form or in an irregular crystal form such as a spherical or tabular form. Of these crystal grain forms any grain whose crystal has an arbitrary {100} face-{111} face proportion may be used, or the complex form of such crystals or a mixture of grains having diverse crystal forms may also be used. The silver halide emulsion preferably used in the invention may optionally be a mixture of two or more different separately prepared silver halide emulsions. The silver halide emulsion may optionally be chemically sensitized in the usual manner; i.e., by single or combined use of sulfur sensitization, selenium sensitization, reduction sensitization and noble-metallic sensitization methods. The sensitization of the silver halide emulsion is preferably carried out by use of one of the chemical sensitizers in accordance with one of the sensitizing methods described in British Patent Nos. 618,061, 1,315,755 and 1,396,696; JP E.P.

As an embodiment of the invention it is preferable to use a tetrazolium compound, a polyethylene oxide derivative, a quaternary phosphate compound or a hydrazine compound as a tone control agent that assists increasing the photographic image contrast. The light-sensitive material of the invention preferably contains a polymer latex. The preferred polymer latexes to be contained in the light-sensitive material are the vinyl polymer hydrates such as acrylates, methacrylates, styrene, etc., described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,772,166, 3,325,286, 3,411,911, 3,311,912 and 3,525,620, Research Disclosure No. 195 19551 (July 1980). Suitable polymer latexes include methalkylacrylate homopolymers such as methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate, styrene homopolymers, copolymers of methalkyl acrylate or styrene with acrylic acid, N-methylol-acrylamide or glycidol methacrylate, alkyl acrylate homopolymers such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and butyl acrylate, copolymers of an alkyl acrylate with acrylic acid or N-methylol acrylamide (preferably the content of the copolymerizable monomer such as acrylic acid is up to 30% by weight), butadiene homopolymers, copolymers of butadiene with styrene or butoxymethylacrylamide-acrylic -acrylic acid, and vinylidene chloride-methylacrylate-acrylic acid copolymers. The average particle size range of the polymer latex preferably used in the invention is preferably 0.005 to 1 µm, and more preferably 0.2 to 0.1 µm. The polymer latex preferably used in the invention may be incorporated into layers either on one side or on both sides of the support, and preferably on both sides of the support. Where the polymer latex is incorporated into layers on both sides of the support, the type of latex and/or the amount used may be the same or different. The polymer latex may be added to any layer; for example, when it is present on the silver halide emulsion layer side of the support, it may be contained in the silver halide emulsion layer, in the topmost non-light-sensitive colloid layer usually called protective layer, or in any other layer; for example, if there is an intermediate layer between the silver halide light-sensitive layer and the topmost layer, it may of course be incorporated into the intermediate layer. In addition, the polymer latex may be incorporated into either any single layer or a plurality of layers. Typical polymer latex compounds suitably usable in the invention are given in the following list L-1 to L-23. (where w, x, y, z, as used below, each represent a molar ratio) As the binder of the light-sensitive material-used in the invention there may be used gelatin or gelatin derivatives, which may also be used in combination with cellulose derivatives, graft polymers of gelatin with other high polymers, other proteins, sugar derivatives, or hydrophilic colloids such as synthetic hydrophilic homo- or copolymer materials. The above gelatin may be lime-treated gelatin, acid-treated gelatin, the enzyme-treated gelatin described in Bull. Soc. Sci. Phot. Japan, No.16, p.30 (1966), or hydrolyzed or enzyme-decomposed product of gelatin. Examples of the gelatin derivative include those obtained by the reaction of gelatin with various compounds such as acid halides, acid anhydrides, isocyanates, bromoacetic acid, alkanesulfones, vinylsulfonamides, maleic acid imide compounds, polyalkylene oxides, and epoxy compounds, which are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,614,928, 3,132,945, 3,186,846 and 3,312,553, British Patent Nos. 861,414, 1,033,189 and 1,005,784, and JP E.P. No. 26845/1967. Examples of the above-mentioned protein include albumin and casein, the cellulose derivatives include hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and cellulose sulfate, and the sugar derivatives include sodium alginate and starch derivatives. These are usable in combination with gelatin. As the above graft polymer of gelatin with other polymers there may be used those gelatin-grafted homo- or copolymers comprising vinyl-type monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, esters thereof, derivatives such as amides, acrylonitrile, styrenes, etc. Particularly preferred are the graft polymers obtained from those polymers relatively compatible with gelatin, comprising monomers such as acrylic acid, acrylamide, methacrylamide and hydroxyalkyl methacrylate. Examples of the above are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,763,625, 2,831,767 and 2,956,884. The coating weight of gelatin, where the light-sensitive material's proper plane contains no polymer latex except for its subbing layer, is preferably 1.0g to 5.5g/m 2 and more preferably 1.3g to 4.8g/m 2 on one side of the support. Because of the demand for rapid processing in recent years, many studies have been made to reduce the amount of gelatin used and to prevent the accompanying silver sludge. A suitable method is to incorporate a polymer latex stabilized with gelatin into at least one of non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layers, such as, for example, a method in which gelatin is used from the begining of latex synthesis to apply the protective layer. An ordinary latex is made from an aqueous dispersion using a surfactant, but the latex optionally usable in the invention is a polymer latex characterized by having its surface and/or inside dispersedly stabilized by gelatin. The polymer and gelatin that constitute the latex may have some connection with each other. In this instance, the polymer and the gelatin may connect directly or indirectly, through a crosslinking agent, with each other. Accordingly, the monomers constituting the latex preferably include those containing a reactive group such as a carboxyl group, amino group, epoxy group, hydroxyl group, aldehyde group, oxazoline group, ether group, ester group, methylol group, cyano group, acetyl group, or unsaturated carbon linkage. Where a crosslinking agent is used, it includes those usable as the crosslinking agent usually used for gelatin, such as aldehyde, glycol, triazine, epoxy, vinylsulfone, oxazoline, methacryl or acryl-type crosslinking agent. The above polymer latex can be obtained after completion of the polymer latex polymerization reaction, by adding a gelatin solution to the reaction system. It is preferable that the reaction between the polymer latex synthesized in a surfactant solution and gelatin is made by use of a crosslinking agent. A method of effecting the latex polymerization reaction in the presence of gelatin also provides satisfactory results. It is preferable not to use any surfactant during the polymerization reaction, but if the use of a surfactant is necessary, the amount added is preferably 0.1 to 3% and more preferably 0.1 to 1.5% of the polymer component. The gelatin/polymer proportion at the time of synthesis is preferably 1/100 to 2/1, and more preferably 1/50 to 1/2. The content of the latex is 30% or more, and preferably 30% to 200% based upon the gelatin content. The coating amount of the latex is preferably 50mg/m 2 to 5g/m 2 and more preferably 100mg/m 2 to 2.5mg/m 2 . Examples of the polymer latex to be incorporated into the photographic light-sensitive material of the invention include vinyl polymer hydrates such as acrylates, methacrylates and styrenes as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,772,166, 3,325,286, 3,411,911, 3,311,912 and 3,525,620, and Research Disclosure No. 195 19551 (July 1980). Useful examples of the polymer latex optionally used in the invention include homopolymers of meta-alkyl acrylates such as methyl methacrylate or ethyl methacrylate; homopolymers of styrenes; copolymers comprising meta-alkyl acrylate, styrene, acrylic acid, N-methylolacrylamide and glycidol methacrylate; homopolymers of alkyl acrylates such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate; copolymers comprising alkyl acrylates, acrylic acid, or N-methylolacrylamide (acrylic acid content as a copolymeric constituent is preferably up to 30% by weight); homopolymers of butadiene; copolymers of butadiene with one or more of styrene, butoxymethylacrylamide and acrylic acid; and vinylidene chloride-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid copolymers. The gelatin for use in stabilizing the latex includes any gelatin or gelatin derivative, which may be used in combination with hydrophilic colloids including synthetic aqueous polymer materials such as cellulose derivatives, graft polymers of gelatin with other polymers, other proteins, sugar derivatives, and homo- and copolymers. The above gelatin may be lime-treated gelatin, acid-treated gelatin, the acid-treated gelatin described in Bull. Soc. Sci. Phot. Japan, No.16, p.30 (1966), or a hydrolyzed product or enzyme-decomposed product of gelatin. As the gelatin derivative there may be used those obtained by the reaction of gelatin with various compounds such as acid halides, acid anhydrides, isocyanates, bromoacetic acid, alkanesulfones, vinylsulfonamides, maleic imido compounds, polyalkylene oxides, and epoxy compounds. Examples of the above are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,614,928, 3,132,945, 3,186,846 and 3,312,553, British Patent Nos. 861,414, 1,033,189 and 1,005,784, and JP E.P. No. 26845/1967. Examples of the above protein include albumin and casein, the cellulose derivatives include hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and cellulose sulfate, the sugar derivatives include sodium alginate and starch derivatives. These are usable in combination with gelatin. As the above graft polymer of gelatin with other polymers there may be used those gelatin-grafted homo- or copolymers comprising vinyl-type monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, esters thereof, derivatives such as amides, acrylonitrile, styrenes. Particularly preferred are the graft polymers obtained from those polymers relatively compatible with gelatin, comprising monomers such as acrylic acid, acrylamide, methacrylamide, hydroxyalkyl methacrylate. Examples of the above are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,763,625, 2,831,767 and 2,956,884. If the latex is used it is required to be added to at least one non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layer, and optionally may also be added to other layers (a plurality of non-light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layers and/or light-sensitive hydrophilic colloid layers). It may be added to layers either on one side or on both sides of the support. The latex added may be a known latex. When added to both sides of the support, the kind and/or amount of the polymer latex to be incorporated into each side may be the same or different. The average particle size range of the polymer latex is preferably 0.005 to 1 µm, more preferably 0.02 to 0.5 µm. As the latex added to the non-light-sensitive layer, the above-mentioned latex is generally used. The following also are examples of monomer components for the latex polymer. (CH 2 -CH 2 ) (CH 2 -CH=CH-CH 2 ) The light-sensitive material may optionally have one or more antistatic layers on the backing side and/or the emulsion layer side of the support in order to prevent static electricity. In this instance, the surface resistivity on the antistatic layer side of the support is preferably not more than 1.0x10 12 Ω, more preferably not more than 8x10 11 Ω at 25°C or lower. The above antistatic layer is preferably an antistatic layer containing a water-soluble conductive polymer, hydrophobic polymer particles and a reaction product of a hardener, or an antistatic layer containing a metallic oxide. The above water-soluble conductive polymer is a polymer having at least one conductive group selected from a sulfonic acid group, sulfate group, quaternary ammonium salt, tertiary ammonium salt, carboxyl group and polyethylene oxide group. Out of these groups, the preferred are the sulfonic acid group, sulfate group and quaternary ammonium group. The conductive group is used in an amount of 5 % by weight per molecule of the water-soluble conductive polymer. The water-soluble conductive polymer may contain a carboxyl group, hydroxy group, amino group, epoxy group, aziridine group, active methylene group, sulfinic acid group, aldehyde group, vinylsulfone group and the like, but of these groups, the carboxyl group, hydroxy group, amino group, epoxy group, azylidine group and aldehyde group are preferred to be contained in the polymer. These groups are generally used in an amount of not less than 5% by weight per molecule of the polymer. The average molecular weight of the water-soluble conductive polymer is from 3,000 to 100,000, preferably 3,500 to 50,000. Useful examples of the above metallic oxide include tin oxide, indium oxide, antimony oxide, vanadium oxide, zinc oxide, and those obtained by doping these metallic oxides with metallic silver, metallic phosphorus or metallic indium. The average particle size of these metallic oxides is preferably 1 to 0.01µm.

The most preferred material is polyethylene terephthalate. The subbing layers usable in the invention include a subbing layer formed by coating an organic solvent solution of the hydroxybenzene described in JP O.P.I. No. 3972/1974, and aqueous latex subbing layers as described in JP O.P.I. Nos.11118/1974, 104913/1977, 19941/1084, 19940/1984, 18945/1984, 112326/1976, 117617/1976, 58469/1976, 114120/1976, 121323/1976, 123136/1976, 114121/1976, 139320/1977, 65422/1977, 109923/1977, 119919/1977, 65949/1980, 128332/1982 and 19941/1984.

Particularly, these dyes are suitable for room-light-processing contact films, and it is preferable to use them so as to make the sensitivity to light at 400nm 30 times as high as that to light of 360nm. Further there may also optionally be used an organic desensitizer whose polarograph's anode potential and cathode potential sum into positive as described in JP O.P.I. No. 26041. The light-sensitive material of the invention can be exposed to electromagnetic waves in the spectral region to which the emulsion layer thereof is sensitive. The light sources which may generally be used include any known light sources including natural light (sunlight), tungsten lamp light, iodoquartz light, mercury-arc lamp, microwaveemitting UV lamp, xenon arc light, carbon arc light, xenon flash light, cathode ray tube flying spot, various laser lights, light-emitting diode light, electron beam, and lights released from a phosphor excited by X-rays, γ-rays and α-rays. Satisfactory results can be obtained by the use of a light source provided with a filter absorbing the wavelength region of up to 370nm as described in JP O.P.I. No. 210458/1987 or the use of a UV light source emitting a principal wavelength region of 370 to 420nm. The exposure time generally applicable to the light-sensitive material of the invention not only ranges from 1 millisecond to 1 minute as in ordinary cameras but also may be shorter than 1 microsecond, such as the 100 nanosecond-1 microsecond exposure from a cathode-ray tube or xenon flash tube. It is also possible to give the light-sensitive material an exposure longer than 1 second. The above exposure may be made either continuously or intermittently. The invention may generally be applied to various light-sensitive materials such as graphic arts films, X-ray films, negative films for general use, reversal films for general use, positive films for general use and direct positive films; but it can provide remarkable effects when applied to light-sensitive materials for graphic arts use.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Preparation of Emulsion A The following Solutions A, B and C were used to prepare a silver chlorobromide emulsion. <Solution A> Osein gelatin 17 g Sodium polyisopropylene-polyethyleneoxy-disuccinate, 10% ethanol solution 5 ml Distilled water 1280 ml <Solution B> Silver nitrate 170 g Distilled water 410 ml <Solution C> Sodium chloride 45.0g Potassium bromide 27.4g Rhodium trichloride, trihydrate 28 µg Sodium polyisopropylene-polyethyleneoxy-disuccinate, 10% ethanol solution 3 ml Osein gelatin 11 g Distilled water 407 ml After keeping Solution A at 40°C, sodium chloride was added thereto so as that the solution has a EAg value of 160mV. Next, a mixing stirrer as described in JP O.P.I. Nos. 92523/1982 and 92524/1982 was used to add Solutions B and C in a double-Jet process. The addition was carried out with the adding flow being increased gradually during the whole adding time of 80 minutes as shown in Table 1 and with the solution's EAg value being kept constant. The EAg value was changed from 160mV to 120mV 5 minutes after starting the addition by using 3 ml/liter of a sodium chloride aqueous solution, and thereafter this value was maintained until completion of the mixing. In order to keep the EAg value constant, an aqueous solution of silver chloride in concentration of 3 mols/liter was used as a control. Adding time (min.)

No. 197534/1982) were used. For the addition of Solutions B and C a variable flow roller tube constant flow valve was used. During the addition, emulsion sampling was made to confirm by electron-microscopic observation that no further generation of new grains occurs inside the system. Also during the addition, an aqueous 3% silver nitrate solution was used to keep the system's pH 3.0 constant. Upon completion of the addition of Solutions B and C, the emulsion was subjected to Ostwald ripening; desalted and washed in the usual manner; and 600 ml of an aqueous ossein gelatin solution (containing 30g of ossein gelatin) were added thereto and the liquid was dispersed by stirring for 30 minutes at 55°C; and then the whole quantity was made up to 750ml, whereby Emulsion A was prepared. The Emulsion A was subjected to gold-sulfur sensitization; potassium bromide was added to the emulsion in an amount of 500mg per mol of silver halide; the following sensitizing dye A was added in an amount of 300mg per mol of silver halide; after a ten-minute interval, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3,3a,7-tetrazaindene as a stabilizer was added; and then the following sensitizing dye B was added in an amount of 100mg per mol of the silver halide contained in the emulsion. Sensitizing dye A Sensitizing dye B Next, a protective layer to which were added 700 ml/mol Ag of tetrazolium compound T-6 represented by Formula T, 300 mg of sodium p-dodecylbenzenesulfonate and 80 mg/mol Ag of 5-nitroindazole was coated according to double-jet process, and this was designated as Sample (1). Also, a protective layer, to which 5-nitrosoindazole and 2.5g per mol of Ag of cyclodextrin Isoelite P, produced by Ensuikoseito Co., were added, was coated also according to double-jet process. This was desigas Sample (2). Each of the obtained samples was allowed to stand for 20 days under conditions of 25°C/50%RH, and then divided and exposed through a wedge to a tungsten light. The exposed samples each were processed in the following developer and fixer solutions by using an automatic processor. <Processing conditions> Process Temperature Time Developing 28°C 30 seconds Fixing 28°C 20 seconds Washing Room temperature 20 seconds Drying 50°C 15 seconds Developer (1) When using the developer, the above Compositions A and B were dissolved in the order given in 500 ml of water, and then water was added to make the whole quantity was made 1 liter.

Fixing solution (1) (Al 2 O 3 equivalent 8.1%w/v aqueous solution) 26.5g When using the developer, the above Compositions A and B were dissolved in the order given in 500 ml of water, and then water was added to make the whole one liter. The above processed Sample (1) was evaluated, and the results obtained are shown in Table 2. The sensitivity is expressed in terms of the log E value of an exposure required to give a density of 2.0, and in the table the sensitivity of each sample is shown in a value relative to that of Sample (1) set at 100. The fog is given in terms of the minimum density of each film that was processed without being exposed. In the table, Dmax represents the maximum density of each processed sample. The sharpness is an evaluation made, taking into account the fringe and smoothness of characters, on the image obtained by processing each sample that was exposed by using a process camera, manufactured by Dai-Nippon Screen Co., to photograph documents bearing Class 7 Ming type chinese characters and Class 7 Gothic type faces; wherein the sharpness ranked 5... on a very satisfactory level, ranked 3... on the lowest level among those acceptable, and ranked 4 ... on a medium level.

The processing in developer (3), in which nitroindazole is not contained, also enables to obtain satisfactory photographic characteristics. Example 2 Preparation of emulsion A silver sulfate solution and a solution obtained by adding a rhodium hexachloride complex salt in an amount of 8x10 -5 mol/mol Ag to a sodium chloride/potassium bromide solution were added simultaneously with their flow rate being controlled to a gelatin solution, and the produced emulsion was desalted, whereby a monodisperse silver chlorobromide emulsion having a grain size of 0,13µm and containing 1 mol% silver bromide was obtained. The above emulsion was subjected to sulfur sensitization in the usual manner, and to the emulsion were added a stabilizer 6-methyl-4-hydroxy-1,3,3a,7-tetrazaindene and the following additives to thereby prepare emulsion coating liquids E-1 to E-14. Subsequently, an emulsion protective layer coating liquid P-O, a backing layer coating liquid B-O and a backing protective layer coating liquid BP-O, comprising the following compositions, were prepared. Emulsion coating liquid E-1 Compound (a) 1 mg/m 2 NaOH (0.5N) for adjusting pH to 5.6 Compound (b) 40 mg/m 2 Compound (c) 30 mg/m 2 Saponin (20%) 0.5cc/m 2 Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate 20 mg/m 2 5-Methylbenzotriazole 10 mg/m 2 Compound (d) 2 mg/m 2 Compound (e) 10 mg/m 2 Compound (f) 6 mg/m 2 Styrene-maleic acid copolymerized aqueous polymer (thickener) 90 mg/m 2 (a) A mixture of (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Emulsion protective layer coating liquid P-O (g) (h) (solid disperse dye) (i) (j) (k) (l) (m) (n) (o) Dissolved in a concentration of 5% in a NaOH aqueous solution at pH12, and the pH is lowered to 6 by use of acetic acid. Each coating liquid prepared above, after adding the following lowing additives thereto, was coated by using a roll fit pan and air knife on a 100µm-thick polyethylene terephthalate base subbed as described in JP O.P.I. No. 19941/1984 and subjected to 10W/m 2 .min corona discharge treatment. The coated film was dried under conditions of an overall coefficient of heat transfer of 25Kcal(m 2 .hr.°C) for 30 minutes at 90°C, and then for 90 seconds at 140°C. After the drying, the coated layer had a thickness of 1µm and a surface resistivity of 1x10 8 Ω at 23°C/55%. On the above base were coated an emulsion layer and an emulsion protective layer in the described order from the support side in accordance with double-jet process with a hardener solution being added thereto by a slide hopper process. After the coated layers were set by passing the film through a cooling-air setting zone at 5°C, on the film were further coated a backing layer and a backing protective layer with a hardener solution being added by slide hopper, and then set by cooling air at 5°C. At the points of time when the coated film passes the respective setting zones, the coated liquids appeared sufficiently set. Subsequently, both sides of the film were dried at the same time under the following conditions. After the backing coating, the film was transported without contact with the rollers until it is taken up. The coating speed employed was 100 m/min. <Latex synthesis method Lx-1> Another example of the preparation of latex is as follows: 1.25 kg of gelatin, 0.05 kg of ammonium persulfate and 7.5g of dodecylbenzenesulfonate were added to 40 liters of water, and to the solution, with stirring at 500C, was added a mixture of the following monomers (a) to (d) spending one hour in a nitrogen atmosphere with stirring for 3 hours. Then 0.05 kg of ammonium persulfate was added and the liquid was further stirred for 1.5 hours; upon completion of the reaction, the residual monomers were removed by one hour of steam distillation; the liquid was cooled to room temperature, and its pH was adjusted to 6.0 with ammonia water; and then water was added to make the whole 80.5 Kg. (a) Ethyl acrylate 5.0 kg (b) Methyl methacrylate 1.4 kg (c) Styrene 3.0 kg (d) Sodium acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate 0.6 kg The above latex was added in an amount of 0.5g/m 2 to each of both the emulsion layer and the emulsion protective layer. A sample was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, using an emulsion protecting layer coating liquid P-O containing the same 5-nitroindazole in the same amount as in the emulsion protecting layer coating liquid P-O of Sample (1) of Example 1, and was designated as Sample (3). The above prepared sample was processed by use of the Developers (1) to (3) of Example 1. Experiments were made in the following manner: Each of Samples (3) and (4), with its emulsion side in contact with an original, was imagewise exposed by means of a light-room printer P627FM equipped with a no-electrode discharge tube light source, manufactured by Fusion Corp. in the U.S., and after that, Samples (3) and (4) were processed under the same conditions as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 3. Experiment No. Sample No. Developer No. γ Negative-appearance letter image quality 2-1(Comp.) (3) (1) 4.0 3.5 2-2(Comp.) (3) (2) 3.5 2.5 2-3 (Inv.)

(4) (3) 4.5 5.0 In Table 3, the evaluations were made as follows: γ = (1.0-0.1)/{log (exposure giving a density of 1.0) -log (exposure giving a density of 0.1)} Negative-appearance letter image quality The negative-appearance letter quality is classified into 5 grades, wherein Grade 5 means a highly excellent image quality which, when a light-sensitive material is properly exposed so that a 50% halftone dot area can be reproduced as it is thereon, is capable of reproducing 30µm-size letters, while Grade 1 is a quality which, when given a proper exposure, can reproduce only letters of 150µm size or larger; i.e., unacceptable quality. Those of Grades 3 and above are on the usable level. Thus, according to the invention, it is apparent that the processing of a light-sensitive material can be carried out without using any solvent even in the presence of a material less soluble in water such as an antifoggant, and the invention enables the obtaining of photographic characteristics satisfactory in respect of sensitivity, fog and sharpness. Therefore, the developer solution can be free of any organic solvent, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of composing a developer solution, being useful for the environment, and enabling the provision of processing chemicals in a form easy to use, i.e., concentrated developer solutions. Experiment 3 Preparation of Emulsion B A silver iodobromide emulsion (containing 2 mol % of silver iodide per mol of silver) was prepared by using a double-jet process. In this process K 2 IrCl 6 was added in an amount of 8x10 -7 mol per mol of silver. The obtained emulsion was a cubic monodisperse emulsion having an average grain size of 0.20µm (where the grain size distribution variation coefficient: 9%). The emulsion was washed and desalted in the usual manner. After desalting, the emulsion had pAg of 8.0 at 40°C. Subsequently to the emulsion were added the following sensitizing dyes D-1 and D-2 in amounts of 200 mg and 10 mg, respectively, per mol of silver, and also was added a mixture of the following Compounds A, B and C, and after that, the emulsion was subjected to sulfur sensitization, whereby Emulsion B was obtained. Sensitizing dye D-1 Sensitizing dye D-2 Preparation of a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material On one side of a subbed polyethylene terephthalate support was coated a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer according to the following prescription (1) so as to have a gelatin coating weight of 2.0g/m 2 and a silver coating weight of 3.2g/m 2 , and on the emulsion layer further coated an emul sion protective layer of the following prescription (2) so as to have a gelatin coating weight of 1.0g/m 2 . And on the opposite side (subbed) of the support to the emulsion layer was coated a backing layer according to the following prescription (3) so as to have a gelatin coating weight of 2.4g/m 2 , and further on the backing layer was coated a backing protective layer of the following prescription (4) so as to have a gelatin coating weight of 1g/m 2 . In the above, sodium carbonate and/or citric acid were used to adjust pH of each layer and also pH of the outermost layer, whereby the light-sensitive materials (5) to (8) as shown in Table 4 were obtained. Prescription (1) (Emulsion layer composition) Hydrazine derivative-α-cyclodextrin clathrate compound: Prescription (2) (Emulsion protective layer composition) Prescription (3) (Backing layer composition) Prescription (4) (Backing protective layer composition) Gelatin 1 g/m 2 Matting agent: monodisperse polymetyl methacrylate having an average particle size of 5.0µm 50 mg/m 2 Surfactant: S-2 10 mg/m 2 Hardener: glyoxal 25 mg/m 2 Hardener: HA-1 35 mg/m 2 Light-sensitive material samples (1) to (4) were prepared in the same manner as in the light-sensitive material samples (5) to (8) except that the hydrazine derivative/α-cyclodextrin clathrate compound in the foregoing Prescrition (1) was replaced by the hydrazine derivative shown in Table 4. The light-sensitive material Samples (1) to (8) were allowed to stand for 24 hours at 23°C/50%RH, and then hermetically sealed for storage (Storage I) in a 3-day incubation treatment at a temperature of 55°C (Storage II). Each of the light-sensitive material samples subjected to the above two different storage conditions was exposed through a stepwedge in contact therewith to a 3200K tungsten light for 5 seconds, and then processed in developer and fixing solutions having the following compositions loaded in an automatic rapid processor GR-26SR, manufactured by KONICA Corp., wherein the processing conditions employed are as follows: Developer (4) Fixing solution (2) Processing conditions Step Temperature Time Developing 38°C 20 seconds Fixing 38°C 20 seconds Washing Normal temperature 15 seconds Drying 40°C 15 seconds Above each processing time includes the time necessary for cross-over transport to the subsequent step. Each processed sample was measured with respect to its density by use of an optical densitometer KONICA PDA-65 to obtain its sensitivity from an exposure required to give a density of 2.5, and each sample's sensitivity is shown in the following table in terms of a relative speed to that of Sample No. 1 set at 100. Further, the gamma value of each sample is expressed in terms of the tangent between the densities of 0.1 and 2.5. A gamma value of less than 6 is totally unacceptable; that of not less than 6.0 and less than 10 is still insufficient contrast, and a super-high-contrast image having as high a gamma value as 10 or more is enough for practical use. Black spots in the unexposed area of each sample were visually examined for evaluation by use of a 40-power magnifying glass. Samples having no black spots at all were evaluated to be of the highest rank 5, whereas those having black spots were ranked down as 4, 3, 2 to 1 according to the degree of their appearance, wherein if ranked 3.5, it represents a medium grade between 3 and 4. Those ranked 1 and 2 are suitable for practical use. The results are shown in Table 4.

Example 4 Light-sensitive material Samples (9) to (12) were prepared in the same manner as in the foregoing Samples (1) to (4) except that the Sensitizing dyes D-1 and D-2 were replaced by the following sensitizing dye D-3 in an amount of 15mg per mol of silver; the hydrazine derivative/α-cyclodextrin clathrate compound in the foregoing prescription (1) was replaced by the hydrazine derivative given in Table 5; and the addition of 3x10 -5 mol/m 2 of a nuclear formation acceleration compound N-10 was made to the Prescription (1). In addition, light-sensitive material Samples (13) to (16) were prepared in the same manner as in the foregoing Samples (9) to (12) except that the hydrazine derivative for the hydrazine derivative/α-cyclodextrin clathrate compound was replaced as shown in Table 5. These Samples (9) to (16) were processed in the same manner as in Example 3 except that the developer's composition was changed to the following Developer (5) (Experiment Nos.4-1 to 4-8). The results are shown in Table 5.

Example 6 Preparation of silver halide emulsion Sample C A silver iodobromide emulsion (containing silver iodide in 2 mol% per mol of silver) was prepared by use of a double-jet process. In the course of the mixing, K 2 IrCl 6 in an amount of 8x10 -7 mol per mol of silver was added. The obtained emulsion was an emulsion comprising cubic monodisperse silver halide grains having an average grain size of 0.20µm (coefficient of variation: 9%). The emulsion was washed and desalted in the usual manner. pAg of the emulsion at 40°C after the desalting was 8.0. Subsequently, a potassium iodide aqueous solution at a concentration of 0.1 mol% per mol of silver was added to the above emulsion to convert the grain surface, and then the foregoing sensitizing dyes D-1 and D-2 in amounts of 200 mg and 10 mg, respectively, per mol of silver, were added with the foregoing compounds (A), (B) and (C), whereby Emulsion C was obtained.
