Title: Silver halide color negative photosensitive material

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a silver halide color photosensitive material for color photography which has a transparent magnetic recording layer. In particular, the present invention relates to a silver halide color negative photosensitive material having a transparent magnetic recording layer having an improved printability. 
     For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 378,294, 4,279,945 and 4,302,523 disclose that a magnetic recording layer is formed on the back surface of a silver halide photosensitive material having a transparent support, the magnetic recording layer having a transparency required of the silver halide photosensitive material for taking a picture which transparency is attained by suitably selecting the amount and size of magnetic grains contained in the magnetic recording layer. This magnetic recording layer exerts no bad influence on the graininess. Methods for inputting signals on the magnetic recording layer are disclosed in International Publication Nos. 90-4205 and 90-04212. However, they are silent with the influences of transparent magnetic base on printing time. Japanese Patent Unexamined Published Application (hereinafter referred to as &#34;J. P. KOKAI&#34;) No. 61-22342 discloses that the printing time can be reduced without impairing reproduction of vivid colors by using a combination of a pyrazoloazole coupler and a phenol coupler. However, J. P. KOKAI No. 61-22342 does not suggest that the incorporation of a pyrazoloazole coupler into a color negative film having a transparent magnetic recording layer is preferred. Further, it does not suggest that the color negative film having the transparent magnetic recording layer is suitable for the system of panorama prints or pseudo telephoto zoom. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     After intensive investigations, the inventors have found a problem that when magnetizing grains in such an amount that a signal level necessitated for the magnetic recording can be assured are contained in a magnetic recording layer, the absorption of blue light is not negligible in the film base particularly in a color negative film. Since a long time is required for forming each color print from a color negative film having a transparent magnetic recording layer, the productivity of the color prints is reduced. Particularly in the panorama prints or pseudo telephoto zoom system, the magnification of the enlargement is higher than that in ordinary prints and, therefore, prolongation of the printing time due to the presence of the transparent magnetic recording layer is a quite important problem. 
     The first object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color negative photosensitive material having a transparent magnetic recording layer which makes it possible to shorten a printing time. 
     The second object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color negative photosensitive material having a transparent magnetic recording layer which makes it possible to shorten a printing time and which has an excellent sharpness. 
     The objects of the present invention can be attained by a silver halide color photosensitive material which comprises at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta coupler and at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow coupler formed on a transparent support, characterized in that it contains 4×10 -4  to 3 g, per m 2  of the support, of a ferromagnetic fine powder and that the green-sensitive emulsion layer contains a coupler of the following general formula [A]: ##STR2## wherein R a1  represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, X a1  represents a hydrogen atom or a group which can be split off by coupling reaction with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent, Za, Zb and Zc each represent a methine, substituted methine, ═N-- or --NH--, one of Za-Zb bond and Zb-Zc bond is a double bond and the other is a single bond; when Zb-Zc is a carbon-to-carbon double bond, it may be a part of the aromatic ring; the coupler may form a dimer or polymer through R a1  or X a1  ; and when Za, Zb or Zc is the substituted methine, the coupler may form a dimer or polymer through the substituted methine. 
     The above-described process was not solved before the inventors combined a finding in the field of magnetic materials that the transparent magnetic recording layer has an absorption in blue light region with another finding in the field of couplers that since a magenta dye formed from a pyrazoloazole magenta coupler has only a low subabsorption in the blue light region, it is capable of reduce in amount of yellow-colored magenta coupler.

     The weight ratio of the high-boiling organic solvent to the magenta coupler of the general formula (A) is not higher than 2.0, preferably not higher than 1.0, more preferably not higher than 0.5 and particularly preferably not higher than 0.2. When the amount of the high-boiling organic solvent for the dispersion is reduced, the sharpness of the image and desilverizability can be improved favorably. When a combination of two or more magenta couplers of the general formula (A) is used, the stability of the dispersion of the couplers in the photosensitive layer can be improved even if the amount of the high-boiling organic solvent is reduced. 
     The magenta coupler of the general formula (A) of the present invention is incorporated into a green-sensitive emulsion layer and/or a layer adjacent thereto. The total amount of the magenta coupler(s) is 0.01 to 1.0 g/m 2 , preferably 0.05 to 0.8 g/m 2  and more preferably 0.1 to 0.5 g/m 2 . The magenta coupler of the present invention can be incorporated into the photosensitive material by the same process as that for the incorporation of other couplers described below. When there are two or more layers sensitive to the same color but having different unequal sensitivity, the magenta coupler of the general formula (A) is incorporated into at least one layer to obtain the effect of the present invention. However, it is preferred to incorporate the coupler into all the layers to further increase the effect of the present invention. 
     Since the magenta coupler represented by the general formula (A) has only a low subabsorption in the blue light region, the amount of the yellow-colored magenta coupler in a green-sensitive layer can be reduced and the density of the blue-sensitive layer can be reduced without impairing the color reproduction. Although it is most preferred to add the yellow-colored magenta coupler into the green-sensitive layer so that the masking from the green-sensitive layer to the blue-sensitive layer will be proper, the masking may be over or under depending on the purpose. 
     The detailed description will be made on the yellow-colored magenta couplers preferably used in the present invention which are represented by the following general formula (I): 
     
         MCP-YD 
    
     wherein MCP represents a magenta coupler residue, and YD represents a group which is bonded with a coupling group of MCP to cleave the compound into MCP and YD when the coupler is reacted with an oxidation product of the developing agent and which is an atomic group containing a yellow dye or a group bonded with MCP through an azo group to form a yellow azo dye together with MCP. 
     Detailed description will be made on the compounds represented by the general formula (I).

R46 herein represents an aliphatic group, aromatic group or heterocyclic group, R47, R48 and R49 each represent an aliphatic group, aromatic group, heterocyclic group or hydrogen atom. The aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic groups are the same as those listed above.

     Now, the description will be made on the groups represented by YD in the general formula (I). 
     When the group represented by YD is an atomic group containing a yellow dye, the yellow dye is a well-known one. Examples of the yellow dyes include azo dyes, anthraquinone dyes and azomethine dyes. These dyes are described in, for example, J. Fabian, H. Hartmann `Light Absorption of Organic Colorants`, (Springer Verlag). However, when these dyes are used in the present invention, YD must flow out of the photographic layer after cleavage from MCP so that it is substantially removed as the yellow dye from the photographic layer. Therefore, they preferably has a carboxyl group or sulfo group as a water-soluble substituent. 
     When the group represented by YD is one which is bonded with MCP through an azo group to form a yellow azo dye together with MCP, this group is preferably an aromatic azo group or heterocyclic azo group.

     Description will be made on the preferred ranges of the groups of the general formulae (V). 
     The groups represented by L are preferably those represented by (v-a) or (V-b). The groups represented by R 21  are those described above as the substituents for the aromatic group R 41 .

     Particularly preferred compounds in the present invention are those represented by the following general formula (VI): ##STR124## wherein R 10  and R 11  are as defined in the above generl formula (II); R 23  represents an alkoxyl group having preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms (such as methoxyl, ethoxyl, propoxyl, isopropoxyl or butoxyl group), alkylthio group having preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms (such as methylthio, ethylthio or hexylthio group), alkyl group having preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms (such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or t-butyl group), acylamino group having preferably 2 to 6 carbon atoms (such as acetamide, butanamide, 2,2-dimethyIpropanamide or hexanamide group), aryloxy group having preferably 6 to 10 carbon atoms (such as phenoxy group), arylthio group having preferably 6 to 10 carbon atoms or hydroxyl group; and i represents an integer of 1 to 5 and when i represents 2 or more, the plural R 23  &#39;s may be the same or different from one another. 
     The compounds usable in the present invention are those having a maximum absorption wave length of 400 to 490 nm, preferably 420 to 470 nm. 
     The compounds represented by the general formulae (I) and (VI) of the present invention can be synthesized by known processes such as those described in J. P. KOKAI Nos. 63-1104523, 61-189538, 59-214853, 52-42121, 49-131448, 62-133458 and 62-50830 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,277,559, 3,005,712 and 2,852,370 as well as processes analogous to them. ##STR125## 
     In a quite preferred embodiment of the present invention, a color negative film having a transparent magnetic recording layer of the present invention is applied to a pseudo telephoto zoom printing system proposed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,490,844, 4,583,831, 4,639,111 and 4,652,104, a pseudo telephoto zoom information in the photographing is input on the magnetic recording layer and enlarging the picture on the basis of the information to form a print of a varied magnification. In the pseudo telephoto zoom printing system, however, the prints are often formed from a color negative film having only a small effective negative area and, therefore, the sharpness of the color negative film is a quite important factor. 
     When the cyan coupler of the general formula [B] is used, the thickness of the red-sensitive layer can be reduced, since reduction in coloring property due to reduction in amount of the high-boiling organic solvent for dispersion is only slight. It is preferred, therefore, to incorporate the cyan coupler of the general formula [B] into the color negative film for a pseudo telephoto zoom print system, i.e., the color negative film having the transparent magnetic recording layer of the present invention. 
     Now, the detailed description will be made on cyan couplers of the following general formula [B]: ##STR126## wherein R 1  represents --CONR 4  R 5 , --SO 2  NR 4  R 5 , --NHCOR 4 , --NHCOOR 6 , --NHSO 2  R 6 , --NHCONR 4  R 5  or --NHSO 2  NR 4  R 5 , R 2  represents a possible substituent for the naphthalene ring, l represents an integer of 0 to 3, R 3  represents a substituent, and X represents a hydrogen atom or a group which can be split off by coupling reaction with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent; and R 4  and R 5  may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, aryl group or heterocyclic group, R 5  represents an alkyl group, aryl group or heterocyclic group, when l is 2 or more, R 2  &#39;s may be the same or different from one another or may be bonded together to form a ring, R 2  and R 3  or R 3  and X may be bonded together to form a ring, and R 1  , R 2 , R 3  or X may form a dimer or polymer by bonding through a divalent or a higher valent group.

     R 2  represents a group (including an atom; the same shall apply hereinafter) which can be a substituent for the naphthalene ring. Typical examples of R 2  include halogen atoms (such as F, Cl, Br and I), or hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino group, sulfo, cyano, alkyl, aryl, heterocyclic, carbonamide, sulfonamide, carbamoyl, sulfamoyl, ureido, acyl, acyloxy, alkoxyl, aryloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, alkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, sulfamoylamino, alkoxycarbonylamino, nitro and imide groups.

R 11  has the same meaning as that of R 6 .

X is particularly preferably a hydrogen atom, chlorine atom, alkoxyl group or alkylthio group. 
     The molecules of the coupler of the general formula [B] may be bonded together through a divalent or polyvalent group at substituent R 1 , R 2 , R 3  or X to form a dimer or polymer. In such a case, the number of carbon atoms may be over the above-described range. 
     When the coupler of the general formula [B] forms the polymer, typical examples of the polymer include homopolymers or copolymers of an addition-polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compounds (cyan coupling monomers) having a cyan dye-forming coupler residue. Preferred examples of them are those of the following formula [B-2]: 
     
         --(GI).sub.gl --(Hj).sub.hj --                             Formula [B-2] 
    
     wherein G l  represents a recurring unit represented by the formula [B-3] which is derived from the coupling monomer, H j  represents a recurring unit derived from a non-coupling monomer, i represents a positive integer, j represents 0 or a positive integer, gi and hi represent the relative amounts (by weight) of Gi and Hj, respectively, and when i or j is 2 or more, Gi or Hi contains two or more kinds of recurring units. ##STR128## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or chlorine atom, A represents --CONH--, --COO-- or substituted or unsubstituted phenylene group, B represents a divalent group having a carbon atom at both ends such as a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group, phenylene group or oxydialkylene group, L represents --CONH--, --NHCONH--, --NHCOO--, --NHCO--, --OCNH--, --NH--, --COO--, --OCO--, --CO--, --O--, --SO 2  --, --NHSO 2  -- or --SO 2  NH--, a, b and c each represent an integer of 0 or 1, Q represents a cyan coupler residue formed by removing a hydrogen atom from R 1 , R 2 , R 3  or X of the compound of the general formula [B]. 
     Examples of the non-coloring ethylenic monomers which do not couple with the oxidation product of the aromatic primary amine developing agent forming the recurring unit Hj include acrylic acid, α-chloroacrylic acid, α-alkylacrylic acids (such as methacrylic acid), amides and esters derived from the acrylic acids (such as acrylamide, methacrylamide, n-butylacrylamide, t-butylacrylamide, diacetonacrylamide, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, t-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, n-octyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate and β-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), vinyl esters (such as vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate and vinyl laurate), acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, aromatic vinyl compounds (such as styrene and derivatives thereof, e.g. vinyltoluene, divinylbenzene, vinylacetophenone and sulfostyrene), itaconic acid, citraconic acid, crotonic acid, vinylidene chloride, vinyl alkyl ethers (such as vinyl ethyl ether), maleic acid esters, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-vinylpyridine and 2- and 4-vinylpyridine. 
     Among them, the acrylic esters, methacrylic esters and maleic esters are particularly preferred. The non-coloring ethylenic monomers can be used either singly or in combination of two or more of them. The combinations are: methyl acrylate/butyl acrylate, butyl acrylate/styrene, butyl methacrylate/methacrylic acid, and methyl acrylate/diacetone acrylamide. 
     It is well known in the field of polymer couplers that the ethylenically unsaturated monomers to be copolymerized with the vinyl monomers of the above formula [B-3] can be selected so that they exert good influences on the form (such as solid, liquid or micelle), physical properties and/or chemical properties (such as solubility in water or an organic solvent), compatibility with a binder (such as gelatin) of the photographic colloid composition, flexibility thereof, thermal stability, coupling reactivity with the oxidation product of the developing agent and non-diffusibility. These copolymers may be random copolymers or those having a specified sequence (such as block copolymers or alternating copolymers). 
     The number-average molecular weight of the cyan polymer couplers used in the present invention usually ranges from several thousands to several millions. Oligomer couplers having a number-average molecular weight of less than 5000 can also be used. 
     The cyan polymer couplers used in the present invention may be lipophilic polymers soluble in organic solvents (such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, ethanol, methylene chloride, cyclohexanone, dibutyl phthalate and tricresyl phosphate); hydrophilic polymers miscible in a hydrophilic colloid such as an aqueous gelatin solution; or polymers having a structure and properties capable of forming a micelle in the hydrophilic colloid. 
     To obtain a lipophilic polymer coupler soluble in the organic solvent, it is preferred to select a lipophilic, non-coloring ethylenic monomer (such as an acrylic ester, methacrylic ester, maleic ester or vinylbenzene) as the copolymerizable component. 
     A solution of a lipophilic polymer coupler obtained by polymerization of a vinyl monomer capable of forming a coupler unit of the above general formula [B-3] in an organic solvent can be prepared by emulsion dispersion in an aqueous gelatin solution to form a latex or it can be prepared directly by emulsion polymerization. 
     A process for the emulsion dispersion of the lipophilic polyer coupler in the aqueous gelatin solution to form a latex is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,451,820. The emulsion polymerization is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,080,211 and 3,370,952. 
     To prepare a neutral or alkaline, water-soluble hydrophilic polymer coupler, it is preferred to use, as a comonomer, a hydrophilic non-coloring ethylenic monomer such as N-(1,1-dimethyl-2 sulfonatoethyl)acrylamide, 3-sulfonatopropyl acrylate, sodium styrenesulfonate, potassium styrenesulfonate, acrylamide, methacrylamide, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, N-vinylpyrrolidone or N-vinylpyridine. 
     The hydrophilic polymer coupler in the form of an aqueous solution thereof can be added to the coating solution. Further, it can be added in the form of a solution in a solvent mixture of water and an organic solvent miscible with water such as a lower alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, ethyl acetate, cyclohexanone, ethyl lactate, dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide. In addition, it can be added in the form of a solution in an aqueous alkali solution or an organic solvent containing an aqueous alkali solution. A small amount of a surfactant can be incorporated thereinto.

     Other couplers: ##STR153## where A represents ##STR154## represents a cyclohexyl group, ##STR155## represents a cyclopentyl group, and --C 8  H 17  --t represents ##STR156## 
     Other examples of the cyan couplers represented by the formula [B] and/or process for producing them are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,690,889, J. P. KOKAI Nos. 60-237448, 61-153640, 61-145557, 63-208042 and 64-31159 and West German Patent No. 3823049A. The cyan coupler of the formula [B] is preferably used in combination with a small amount of a high boiling organic solvent for dispersion in order to further improve the sharpness and desilverizability as described in J. P. KOKAI No. 62-269958. 
     In particular, the weight ratio of the high-boiling organic solvent to the cyan coupler represented by the formula [B] is 0.3 or less, preferably 0.1 or less. 
     The total amount of the cyan coupler(s) of the formula [B] is at least 30 molar %, preferably at least 50 molar %, more preferably at least 70 molar % and particularly at least 90 molar % based on the total cyan couplers. 
     The cyan couplers of the formula [B] are preferably used in combination of two or more of them. When there are two or more layers sensitive to the same color but having different degrees of sensitivity, it is preferred to use a 2-equivalent cyan coupler for the layer of the highest sensitivity and a 4-equivalent cyan coupler for the layer of the lowest sensitivity. One of them or both of them are preferably incorporated into other layers sensitive to the same color. 
     Examples of the high-boiling organic solvents usable in combination with the couplers of the general formulae [A] and [B] include phosphoric esters (such as triphenyl phosphate, tricresyl phosphate, octyldiphenyl phosphate, tri-2-ethylhexyl phosphate, tri-n-hexyl phosphate, tri-isononyl phosphate, tricyclohexyl phosphate, tributoxyethyl phosphate and tri-2-chloroethyl phosphate), benzoic esters (such as 2-ethylhexyl benzoate and 2-ethylhexyl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate), fatty acid esters (such as di-2-ethylhexyl succinate, 2-hexyldecyl tetradecanoate and tributyl citrate), amides (such as N,N-diethyldodecanamide and N-tetradecylpyrrolidone), dialkylanilines (such as 2-butoxy-5-tert-octyl-N,N-dibutylaniline), chlorinated paraffins (such as paraffins having a chlorine content of 10 to 80%), phenols (such as 2,5-di-tert-amylphenol, 2,5-di-tert-hexyl-4-methoxyphenol and 2-ethylhexyl p-hydroxybenzoate), phthalic esters (such as dibutyl phthalate, dicyclohexyl phthalate, diheptyl phthalate, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate and didodecyl phthalate). Among them, the phosphoric esters and phthalic esters are particularly preferred. 
     When the coupler of the general formula [B] is colored, the dye has usually a subabsorption in a blue light resion. It is preferred, therefore, to use it in combination with a yellow colored magenta coupler of the general formula [B] for compensation. The effect of the incorporation of the magenta coupler of the general formula [A] of the present invention becomes more remarkable when the yellow colored cyan coupler is incorporated into a color negative film having a transparent magnetic recording layer, since the light absorption in the blue light region is further increased thereby. 
     Thus by using the combination of the coupler of the general formula [A] with the coupler of the general formula [B] and yellow-colored coupler, a pseudo telephoto zoom print having excellent sharpness and color reproduction can be formed while prolongation of the printing time is inhibited. 
     The description will be made in detail on the yellow-colored cyan couplers. 
     The preferred yellow-colored cyan couplers are represented by the following general formulae (CI) to (CIV): ##STR157## 
     In the general formulae (CI) to (CIV), Cp represents a cyan coupler residue (T being bonded at the coupling position), T represents a timing group, k represents 0 or an integer of 1, X represents a divalent connecting group containing N, O or S, bonded with (T) k  and connecting with Q, and Q represents an arylene group or divalent heterocyclic group.

     It is well known that ##STR158## in the general formula (CI) can have the following tautomer structures, which are included by the structures defined in the general formula (CI) of the present invention: ##STR159##

     Examples of the yellow-colored cyan couplers of the present invention will given below, which by no means limit the invention. ##STR176## 
     In the present invention, the yellow-colored cyan couplers of the general formulae (CI) and (CII) are preferably used. Those of the general formula (CI) are particularly preferably used. 
     The yellow-colored cyan coupler of the present invention is preferably added to a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer or a layer adjacent thereto, particularly to a red-sensitive emulsion layer, of a photosensitive material. The total amount of this coupler added to the photosensitive material is 0.005 to 0.30 g/m 2 , preferably 0.02 to 0.20 g/m 2 , and more preferably 0.03 to 0.15 g/m 2   
     The yellow-colored cyan coupler of the present invention can be incorporated into the photosensitive material in the same manner as that of ordinary couplers as will be described below. 
     At least one layer among a blue-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer and a red-sensitive layer comprising a silver halide emulsion is formed on the support to form the photosensitive material of the present invention. The number or the order of the arrangement of the silver halide emulsion layer(s) and the photoinsensitive layer(s) is not particularly limited. A typical example of the silver halide photosensitive material comprises at least one photosensitive layer (comprising two or more silver halide emulsion layer having substantially the same color sensitivity but different degree of sensitivity) formed on the support. The photosensitive layer is a unit photosensitive layer sensitive to any of blue, green and red light. In the multi-layered silver halide color photosensitive materials, the arrangement of the unit photosensitive layers is: a red-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer and a blue-sensitive layer in this order from the support. However, the order may be reversed or a sensitive layer may be interposed between two layers sensitive to another color depending on the purpose. 
     A photoinsensitive layer such as an intermediate layer can be provided between the silver halide photosensitive layers or as the top layer or the bottom layer. 
     The intermediate layer may contain a coupler or DIR compound as described in J. P. KOKAI Nos. 61-43748, 59-113438, 59-113440, 61-20037 and 61-20038, or an ordinary color-mixing inhibitor. 
     The two or more silver halide emulsion layers constituting the unit photosensitive layer have preferably a structure consisting of two layers, i.e. a high sensitivity emulsion layer and a low sensitivity emulsion layer, as described in West German Patent No. 1,121,470 or British Patent No. 923,045. Usually the arrangement of the layers is such that the sensitivity thereof decreases gradually toward the support. A photoinsensitive layer may be provided between the silver halide emulsion layers. An emulsion layer having a low sensitivity may be formed away from the support and an emulsion layer having a high sensitivity may be formed close to the support as described in J. P. KOKAI Nos. 57-112751, 62-200350, 62-206541 and 62-206543. 
     An example of the arrangement is a structure of a blue-sensitive layer having a low sensitivity (BL)/blue-sensitive layer having a high sensitivity (BH)/green-sensitive layer having a high sensitivity (GH)/green-sensitive layer having a low sensitivity (GL)/red-sensitive layer having a high sensitivity (RH)/red-sensitive layer having a low sensitivity (RL); BH/BL/GL/GH/RH/RL; or BH/BL/GH/GL/RL/R H toward the support. 
     As described in J. P. KOKOKU No. 55-34932, the arrangement may be a blue-sensitive layer /GH/RH/GL/RL toward the support. Another arrangement is a blue-sensitive layer/GL/RL/GH/RH toward the support as described in J. P. KOKAI Nos. 56-25738 and 62-63936. 
     Another arrangement is that of three layers having sensitivities granually lowered toward the support, i.e. a top layer (a silver halide emulsion layer having the highest sensitivity), middle layer (a silver halide emulsion layer having a lower sensitivity) and bottom layer (a silver halide emulsion layer having a sensitivity lower than that of the middle layer) as described in J. P. KOKOKU No. 49-15495. Even in such an arrangement, sensitive layers having the same color sensitivity may comprise further an emulsion layer having a medium sensitivity/emulsion layer having a high sensitivity/emulsion layer having a low sensitivity in the order toward the support as described in J. P. KOKAI No. 59-202464. 
     In another example, the arrangement is: high-sensitivity emulsion layer/low sensitivity emulsion layer/medium sensitivity emulsion layer or low sensitivity emulsion layer/medium sensitivity emulsion layer/high sensitivity emulsion layer. 
     When the photosensitive material has four or more layers, the arrangement of them may be varied as described above. 
     Thus the layer construction and the arrangement can be selected suitably for the use of the photosensitive material. 
     Preferred silver halides contained in the photographic emulsion layers of the photosensitive material used in the present invention include silver bromoiodide, silver chloroiodide and silver chlorobromoiodide, which contain about 30 molar % or less of silver iodide. Particularly preferred is silver bromoiodide or siIver chlorobromoiodide containing about 2 to 10 molar % of silver iodide. 
     The silver halide grains in the photographic emulsion may be in a regular crystal form such as a cubic, octahedral or tetradecahedral form; an irregular crystal form such as spherical or plate form; or a complex crystal form thereof. They include also those having a crystal fault such as a twin plate. 
     The silver halide grain diameter may range from about 0.2 μm or less to as large as that the projection area diameter thereof is about 10 μm. The emulsion may be either a polydisperse emulsion or monodisperse emulsion. 
     The silver halide photographic emulsion usable in the present invention can be prepared by processes described in, for example, `Research Disclosure (RD)` No. 17643 (December, 1978), pages 22 to 23, `1. Emulsion Preparation and types`; RD No. 18716 (November, 1979), p. 648; RD No. 307105 (November, 1989), pages 863 to 865; P. Glafkides, `Chemic et Phisique Photographique`, Paul Montel, 1967; G. F. Duffin, `Photographic Emulsion Chemistry` (Focal Press, 1966); and V. L. Zelikman et al., `Making and Coating Photographic Emulsion`, (Focal Press, 1964). 
     Monodisperse emulsions described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,574,628 and 3,655,394 and British Patent No. 1,413,748 are also preferred. 
     Tabular grains having an aspect ratio of 3 or higher are also usable. The tabular grains can be easily prepared by processes described in, for example, Gutoff, `Photographic Science and Engineering`, Vol. 14, pages 248 to 257 (1970); U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,434,226, 4,414,310, 4,433,048 and 4,439,520 and British Patent No. 2,112,157. 
     The crystal structure of the grains in the above emulsion may be uniform; the grains may comprise an inside portion and an outside portion which are composed of silver halides different from each other; or the structure may be a laminated one. Different silver halide grains can be bonded together by an epitaxial bond or they can be bonded with a compound other than silver halides such as silver rhodanate or lead oxide. A mixture of grains having various crystal forms can also be used. 
     The emulsion may be of a surface-latent image type for forming a latent image mainly on the surface thereof, of an internal latent image type for forming a latent image in the grains or of such a type that a latent image is formed both on the surface and in the grains. The emulsion must be a negative one. In the internal latent image type emulsions, a core/shell type internal latent image type emulsion described in J. P. KOKAI No. 63-264740 may also be used. Processes for producing the core/shell type internal latent image type emulsion are described in J. P KOKAI No. 59-133542. The thickness of the shells in the emulsion which varies depending on the developing process is preferably 3 to 40 nm, particularly preferably 5 to 20 nm. 
     The silver halide emulsion to be used in the present invention is usually physically and chemically ripened and spectrally sensitized. The additives to be used in these steps are shown in Research Disclosure Nos. 17643, 18716 and 307105. The portions in which the additives are mentioned in these three Research Disclosure&#39;s are summarized in the following table. 
     A mixture of two or more photosensitive siIver halide emulsions different from one another in at least one of grain size, grain size distribution, halogen components, shape of the grains and sensitivity can be used for forming a layer. 
     Silver halide grains having the fogged surface described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,082,553, silver halide grains having fogged core and colloidal silver described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,626,498 and J. P. KOKAI No. 59-214852 can be preferably used for forming the photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer and/or substantially photo-insensitive, hydrophilic colloid layer. The term `silver halide grains having fogged core or surface` indicates silver halide grains which can be subjected to uniform (non-imagewise) development irrespective of exposed or non-exposed parts of the photosensitive material. Processes for producing the silver halide grains having the fogged core or surface are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,626,498 and J. P. KOKAI No. 59-214852. 
     The silver halide for forming the core of the core/shell type silver halide grains having the fogged core may have the same or different halogen composition. The silver halides having the fogged core or surface include silver chloride, silver chlorobromide, silver bromoiodide and silver chlorobromoiodide. Although the size of the fogged silver halide grains is not particularly limited, the average grain size thereof is preferably 0.01 to 0.75 μm, particularly 0.05 to 0.6 μm. The shape of the grains is not particularly limited. The grains may be regular or in the form of a dispersed emulsion. The dispersion is preferably of monodisperse system wherein at least 95% (by weight or by number of the grains) of the silver halide grains have a grain diameter within the average grain diameter ±40%. 
     Fine grains of a photo-insensitive silver halide are preferably used in the present invention. The term `fine grains of photo-insensitive silver halide` indicates fine silver halide grains which are not sensitized in the image-forming exposure for forming a dye image and which are substantially not developed in the developing process. They are preferably previously not fogged. 
     The fine silver halide grains have a silver bromide content of 0 to 100 molar %. If necessary, they may contain silver chloride and/or silver iodide. They preferably contain 0.5 to 10 molar % of silver iodide. 
     The fine silver halide grains have an average grain diameter (average diameter of a projected area) of preferably 0.01 to 0.5 μm, more preferably 0.02 to 0.2 μm. 
     The fine silver halide grains can be prepared by the same processes as those for the production of ordinary photosensitive silver halides. In this case, it is unnecessary to optically sensitize or spectrally sensitize the surface of the silver halide grains. It is preferred, however, to incorporate a known stabilizer such as a triazol, azaindene, benzothiazolium or mercapto compound or a zinc compound thereinto prior to the incorporation thereof into a coating solution. Colloidal silica can be preferably incorporated into the fine silver halide grain-containing layer. 
     Known photographic additives are also mentioned in the three Research Disclosures and the corresponding portions are also shown in the following table.

     The stability of the processing solutions can be improved. 
     The silver halide photosensitive material of the present invention is usable also as a thermal development-type photosensitive material described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,500,626, 60-133449, 59-218443 and 61-238056 and European Patent No. 210,660A2. 
     The detailed description will be made on a transparent support preferably used in the present invention and the prime layer. 
     The transparent support is preferably flexible. It is, for example, a film made of a cellulose ester (particularly cellulose triacetate, cellulose diacetate, cellulose propionate, cellulose acetate propionate or cellulose acetate butyrate), a polyamide described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,856,385 and 2,848,439 or British Patent No. 542,509, a polycarbonate described in Belgian Patent Nos. 593,040 to 593,047, British Patent No. 853,587, U.S. Pat. No. 3,023,101, West German Patent Nos. 1,060,710 and 1,062,544 or French Patent No. 1,259,156, a polyester described in J. P. KOKOKU No. 48-40414 and British Patent No. 789,317 (particularly polyethylene terephthalate, poly-1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate, polyethylene-1,2-diphenoxy-4,4&#39;-dicarboxylate, polybutylene terephthalate or polyethylene naphthalate), a polystyrene described in British Patent No. 991,702, a polypropylene described in British Patent Nos. 964,780 and 921,635, a polyethylene described in French Patent No. 1,264,407, or a polymethylpentene, polysulfine, polyethersulfone, polyarylate, aromatic polyetherimide, aromatic polyamide, aromatic polyamidimide, as well as a polyphenylene oxide described in British Patent No. 1,250,206, or a semisynthetic or synthetic polymer such as polyphenylene sulfide. 
     A plasticizer can be incorporated into the support in order to impart flexibility thereto. Particularly, the cellulose films usually contain a plasticizer such as triphenyl phosphate, biphenyldiphenyl phosphate or dimethylethyl phosphate. 
     The thickness of the support varies depending on kind of the polymer and the use thereof. The supports include a thin film having a thickness of about 20 μm to a sheet having that of about 1 mm. The thickness of the support is usually in the range of 50 to 300 μm. 
     The strength of the support varies depending on the use thereof. The supports having a break strength of at least 4 kg/mm 2 , initial modulus of elasticity of at least 150 kg/mm 2   and Young&#39;s modulus in flexure of at least 150 kg/mm 2   are usable. 
     The molecular weight of the polymer to be used as the material for the support is at least 10,000, usually 20,000 to 800,000. 
     The support may contain a dye for neutralizing the color of the base, inhibiting light-piping or inhibiting halation. 
     Prime-coating 
     When such a polymer is used as the material for the support, the resulting support has the hydrophobic surface and, therefore, it is difficult to firmly adhere a photographic layer (such as a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, intermediate layer or filter layer) mainly comprising a protecting colloid which mainly comprises gelatin to the support. The following techniques are tried for overcoming this defect: 
     (1) a technique wherein the surface is activated by a chemical treatment, mechanical treatment, corona discharge treatment, flame treatment, ultraviolet ray treatment, high frequency treatment, glow discharge treatment, active plasma treatment, laser treatment, acid mixture treatment or oxidation process with ozone, and then a photographic emulsion is directly applied thereto to attain a firm adhesion, and 
     (2) a process wherein a prime layer is formed after the surface treatment as described above is once conducted or without this treatment and then a Photographic emulsion layer is formed thereon by coating. 
     (Refer to, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,698,241, 2,764,520, 2,864,755, 3,462,335, 3,475,193, 3,143,421, 3,501,301, 3,460,944 and 3,674,531, British Patent Nos. 788,365, 804,005 and 891,469, and J. P. KOKOKU Nos. 48-43122 and 51-446). 
     The mechanism of the surface treatment is supposedly as follows: some polar groups are formed on the hydrophobic support surface or the crosslinking density on the surface is increased so that the affinity of thereof with polar groups of a component contained in the prime-coating solution is increased or the fastness of the adhesion surface is increased. 
     Various structures of the prime-coating layers have been proposed. They are classified into those prepared by so-called interlayer method wherein the first layer capable of firmly adhering to the support (hereinafter referred to as `the first prime layer`) is formed and then the second layer (hydrophilic resin layer) capable of firmly adhering to a photographic layer (hereinafter referred to as `the second prime layer`) is formed thereon; and those prepared by single-layer method wherein only one resin layer having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups is formed by coating. 
     In the surface treatments (1), the corona discharge treatment is the most popular. It can be conducted by any of known processes (for example processes described in J. P. KOKOKU Nos 48-5043 and 47-51905, J. P. KOKAI Nos. 47-28067, 49-83767, 51-41770 and 51-131576). 
     The frequency ranges from 50 Hz to 5,000 KHz, preferably 5 KHz to several hundred KHz. 
     When the frequency is too low, the stable discharge is impossible and pin holes are formed in the treated film unfavorably. When the frequency is too high, on the contrary, a special device for impedance matching is necessitated to increase the cost unfavorably. As for the processing strength, 0.001 KVA min/m 2  to 5 KvA min/m 2 , preferably 0.01 KVA min/m 2  to 1 KVA min/m 2  is employed for improving the leakage of ordinary plastic films such as polyester and polyolefins. The gap clearance between the electrode and the dielectric material roll is 0.5 to 2.5 mm, preferably 1.0 to 2.0 mm. 
     The glow discharge treatment which is the most effective surface treatment in most cases can be conducted by any of known processes (such as processes described in J. P. KOKOKU Nos. 35-7578, 36-10336, 45-22004, 45-22005, 45-24040 and 46-43480, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,057,792, 3,057,795, 3,179,482, 3,288,638, 3,309,299, 3,424,735, 3,462,335, 3,475,307 and 3,761,299, British Patent No. 997,093 and J. P. KOKAI No. 53-129262). 
     As for the glow discharge conditions, the voltage is usually 0.005 to 20 Torr, preferably 0.02 to 2 Torr. When the voltage is too low, the surface treatment effect is insufficient and when it is too high, an excessive current occurs to cause dangerous sparking and also to break the treated film. 
     The discharge is caused by applying a high voltage to at least a pair of metal plates or metal rods placed apart from each other in a vacuum tank. The voltage varies depending on the composition of the atmospheric gas and pressure. In the above-described range, the voltage is usually 500 to 5,000 V to cause a stable stationary glow discharge. The voltage range particularly suitable for improving the adhesion is 2,000 to 4,000 v. The discharge frequency ranges from direct current to several thousand MHz, preferably 50 Hz to 20 MHz. 
     The discharge strength for obtaining the desired adhesion ranges from 0.01 l KVA min/m 2  to 5 KVA min/m 2  preferably from 0.15 KvA min/m 2  to 1 KVA min/m 2 . 
     Investigations were made on the prime-coating process (2). The starting material for the first prime layer in the interlayer process is a monomer selected from among, for example, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, butadiene, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, itaconic acid and maleic anhydride. Investigations were made on the copolymers and various other polymers such as polyethylenimine, epoxy resin, grafted gelatin and nitrocellulose in the first prime layer, and also on gelatin in the second prime layer. 
     In the single layer process, an excellent adhesion is often obtained, taking advantage of interfacial mixing of the support and the prime layer-forming polymer. This process is employed when a support made of a cellulose derivative is used. 
     When the support is made of such a cellulose derivative, the effect of the surface treatment is only slight; In this case, gelatin is dispersed in an organic solvent comprising a mixture of methylene chloride, ketone and an alcohol and the obtained dispersion is applied to the support to form a prime layer, taking advantage of the interfacial mixing caused by swelling of the support and diffusion of the gelatin. 
     Examples of the gelatin hardeners include chromium salts (such as chromium alum), aldehydes (such as formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde), isocyanates, active halogen compounds (such as 2,4-dichloro-6-hydroxy-S-triazine) and epichlorohydrin resin. The prime layer-forming solution can contain various additives, if necessary, such as a surfactant, antistatic agent, halation inhibitor, coloring dye, pigment, coating assistant and antifoggant. When the prime layer-forming solution of the present invention is used, an etching agent such as resorcinol, chloral hydrate or chlorophenol can be incorporated thereinto. 
     The prime layer of the present invention can contain fine particles of an inorganic substance such as SiO 2  or TiO 2  or fine particles (1 to 10 μm) of a polymethyl methacrylate copolymer as a matting agent. 
     Coating method 
     The prime layer-forming solution of the present invention can be applied by a well known method such as dip coating method, air knife coating method, curtain coating method, roller coating method, wire bar coating method, gravure coating method or extrusion coating method wherein a hopper described in U.S Pat. No. 2,681,294 is used. If necessary, two or more layers can be formed at once by a coating method described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,761,791, 3,508,947, 2,941,898 and 3,526,528, or Yuji Harasaki, `Coating Kogaku (Coating Engineering)`, p. 253 (published by Asakura Shoten in 1973). 
     A preferred embodiment of the photosensitive material of the present invention is a rolled film in such that the input of the signals on the transparent magnetic recording layer of the film is easy in carrying the film in a camera or printer. In the rolled film, the area of an image-exposed frame is preferably 350 to 1200 mm 2  and at least 15% of the area is occupied by a magnetic information-recordable space. 
     In particular, the number of perforations is controlled so that a scene has not more than 135 formats. It is particularly preferred that a frame has 4 or less perforations. 
     It is also possible to optically input informations in a magnetic information recording space with an illuminant such as LED. It is also preferred to input both magnetic information and optical information in the space. The magnetic recording format is preferably according to a system described in International Publication No. 90-04205. 
     When the photosensitive material of the present invention is used in the form of a roll, it is preferably put in a cartridge. The most ordinary cartridge is a 135 format patrone used at present. Further cartridges proposed in the following specifications are also usable: Japanese Utility Model Unexamined Published Application (hereinafter referred to as `J. UM. KOKAI`) No. 58-67329, J. P. KOKAI Nos. 58-181035 and 58-182634, J.UM KOKAI No. 58-195236, U.S. Patent No. 4,221,479, Japanese Patent Application Nos. 63-57785, 63-183344, 63-325638, 1-21862, 1-25362, 1-30246, 1-20222, 1-21863, 1-37181, 1-33108, 1-85198, 1-172595, 1-172594 and 1-172593, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,846,418, 4,848,693 and 4,832,275. 
     A cartridge having an attitude control means in a camera is particularly preferred (refer to Japanese Patent Application No. 1-214895). 
     The following Examples will further illustrate the present invention, which by no means limit the invention. 
     EXAMPLE 1 
     Production of base 
     A cellulose triacetate doping solution was spread to form a film base having a thickness of 122 μm (Base I). Cellulose triacetate doping solution in which γ·Fe 2  O 3  (specific surface area: 25 m 2  /g; a product of Pfizer Co., U.S.A.) was dispersed therein and the cellulose triacetate doping solution was spread together to form a film base having a transparent magnetic recording layer having a thickness of 2 μm and the total thickness of 122 μm. The amount of γ·Fe 2  O 3  applied was 0.14 m 2  /g (Base II). A backing layer having a composition given below was formed on each of the bases to form a base for photosensitive material. In Base II, the backing layer was formed on the magnetic recording layer. 
     Difference in density between Base II and Base I is shown in Table 2.

     It is apparent that the increase of the absorption in blue light region of Base II was the most remarkable. 
     Base II had a coercive force of 490 Oe and the squareness ratio of 0.73. It was thus confirmed that a signal input system described in International Publication No. 90-04205 was possible.

 [*relative values based on MTF of Sample 101 (1.0)]-                     
 
    
     There was recognized an improvement of MTF of the green-sensitive layers of Samples 104 and 105 produced in the same manner as that of Sample 101 except that the main coupler in the green-sensitive layer was changed from EX-6 to [A-4]-46 and the amounts of HBS-1 and HBS-3 were reduced. 
     When the main coupler of the red-sensitive layer was changed from EX-2 to EX-15, the gradation thereof become softer. 
     106 
     When HBS-1 was added to recover the original gradation, MTF value Of the red-sensitive layer was reduced (104 vs. 105). 
     Determination of printing time 
     Each of Samples 101 to 105 (135 format) was placed in a camera and a picture of a given scene was taken. After the developing process was conducted in the same manner as described above, a color print was prepared with a printer of additive color system. The printing time of the blue-sensitive layer is shown in Table 5.

 [*relative values based on the printing time of 101 (1.0)]-              
 
    
     Prolongation of the printing time by the transparent magnetic recording layer was recognized (101 vs. 102). 
     When Ex-6 was replaced with [A-4]-46 and the amount of EX-1 and EX-7 was reduced, the printing time could be remarkably reduced and prolongation of the printing time due to the transparent magnetic base could be inhibited (102 vs. 103 to 105; 101 vs. 103 to 105). 
     No deterioration of the color reproducibility by reduction in amount of EX-1 and EX-7 was recognized (102 vs. 103 and 104). 
     In Samples 103 to 105, the object of the present invention could be attained. Sample 104 had the highest sharpness and was most preferred. 
     EXAMPLE 2 
     Processing of samples 
     Films for photographing tests were prepared in the same manner as that of Example 1 except that the number of perforations was changed to 1 per frame and that a cartridge shown in FIG. 1 was used. 
     Tests 
     There was used a camera modified so that signals of pseudo telephoto zoom could be inputted by attaching a magnetic head and the cartridge of FIG. 1 could be placed therein. A pseudo telephoto zoom print of a magnification of ×2 was prepared according to the signals inputted in the photographing. 
     The print time and sharpness of the print are shown in Table 6.

 (The sharpnesses of the prints 102 to 105 were ranked.)                  
 
    
     The printing time and sharpness of Sample 101 could not be determined, since no pseudo telephoto zoom signal was inputted. 
     The printing time of Samples 103 to 105 of the present invention was short, so that these Samples were preferable. 
     It was found that Sample 104 of the present invention had an excellent sharpness and it was quite suitable for the pseudo telephoto zoom system. 
     EXAMPLE 3 
     It was found that samples not containing EX-1, EX-3 or EX-12 in the second layer could further shorten the printing time. 
     EXAMPLE 4 
     SHG-100, REALA SHG 200 and SHG 1600 (products of Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.) were used except that [A-4]-46 coupler was used instead of a coupler or couplers contained in the green-sensitive layer and an amount of a high-boiling organic solvent for dispersion was reduced. There samples exhibited excellent results as in Example 1. 
     EXAMPLE 5 
     The same procedure as above was repeated except that [A-4]-46 was replaced with [A-4]-15 or [A-4]-67 to obtain excellent results as in Example 1. 
     EXAMPLE 6 
     The cartridge processed in Example 2 was placed in a moisture-proof paper tube. Each of openings at the both ends of the paper tubes was fitted with a moisture-proof cap. The periphery of each end of the tubes was fused together with the inner surface of the periphery of the cap by heating to obtain a package. 
     EXAMPLE 7 
     The cartridge obtained in Example 2 was packed in a packing material which was the same as that used for &#34;Utsurundesu&#34; (trade name of Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.).
