| 摘要 |
The invention relates to an ultrahigh contrast photographic material comprising a support bearing a silver halide emulsion layer, containing a combination of two or more hydrazide nucleating agents in the emulsion layer and/or a hydrophilic colloid layer, characterized in that the combination comprises a nucleating agent(s) of formulae (I) and/or (I) with a nucleator of formula (III), in which the nucleating agent of formula (I) comprises (a) two nicotinamide moieties, which may be the same or different, which are linked by a linking group, and (b) a hydrazide moiety linked to only one of those nicotinamide moieties; the nucleating agent of formula (II) comprises a dimeric molecule comprising two monomers linked by a linking group, each monomer of which (a) may be the same or different and (b) comprises a hydrazide moiety and a nicotinamide moiety; and the nucleating agent of formula (III) comprises an aryl sulfonamido aryl hydrazide. The combination of nucleating agents show less sensitivity to variation in the development conditions than do the individual nucleating types, leading to significant improvements in processing robustness with less change in image quality with processing and tolerance to a wider range of developer solutions.
