| 摘要 |
The present invention is a photographic element which includes a support, at least one silver halide emulsion layer superposed on the support and a processing-solution-permeable protective overcoat overlying the silver halide emulsion layer. The processing solution permeable overcoat is composed of a urethane-containing component having acid functionalities wherein a weight ratio of a polyurethane-containing component in the copolymer comprises from 20 to 100 percent and a weight ratio of an optional vinyl component in the copolymer comprises from 0 to 80 percent, which urethane-containing component of the overcoat may comprise either a single polyurethane polymer or an interpenetrating network comprising two or more polymers. The overcoat further comprises a polyvinyl alcohol polymer having a molecular weight of about 150,000 or less, with the proviso that the degree of hydrolysis is less than 95% when the molecular weight is more than about 100,000. The present invention is also directed to a method of making a photographic print involving developing the photographic element.
