Abstract:
The present invention relates to an alkaline aqueous black-and-white photographic developer composition comprising:(1) at least one black-and-white developing agent,(2) at least one black-and-white auxiliary developing agent,(3) at least one antifoggant,(4) at least one sequestering agent,(5) a sulfite antioxidant,(6) at least one buffering agent,(7) a tone agent, and(8) at least one tone promoting agent,wherein said tone agent is a primary organic amine compound and said tone promoting agent is a silver halide solvent.
Abstract:
Potassium iodide (or a related iodide) when incorporated in an alkaline activator for use in a rapid access processor using developer-incorporated, resin-coated paper, (i) produces a cold image tone in black-and-white photographic prints, and (ii) maintains the image tone of a large number of prints within a narrow image tone range over a (one week or one thousand 8.times.10 inch print) design life of the activator solution.
