1286552 Photographic processes KALLE A G 8 Dec 1969 [10 Dec 1968] 59713/69 Heading G2C A process for producing azo dye images comprises imagewise exposing a positive working material containing a benzene diazonium compound having, in the ortho or para position to the diazonium group, a secondary or tertiary amino group having as substitment(s), alkyl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl radical(s) or a radical forming a heterocyclic ring with the N atom of amino group, and developing in the presence of a coupler which either contains an active methylene group or is a phenol containing no amino nitrogen atom attached to the benzene nucleus to produce a yellow dye image and then subjecting the image to an electrophilic reactant to shift the maximum absorption of the dye into the ultraviolet. The electrophilic reactant may be (i) a strong acid, e.g. HCl used in solution or as a vapour or generated by photolysis of organic halogens, or (ii) diazonium salts which generate acids and carbonium ions on photo-lysis. In the examples, a support is coated with a layer of a benzene diazonium compound containing a dialkylamine or heterocyclic group with the nitrogen atom attached to the benzene ring, a coupler which is an acetoacetyl compound, a phrazolone, resorcinol, phloroglucinol, or an alkyl phenol and optionally a hydroxynaphltamide or a hydroxyphenyl area, imagewise exposed and developed to give a dye image with an absorption maximum between 402 and 480 mm. The image is treated with hydrochloric acid to give an image with an absorption maximum between 363 and 390 mm. If a diazonium compound or a coupler which does not contain the specified groups if present, the azo dye image produced by this component is unaffected by the acid and the final image has two absorption maxima. Hydrochloric acid may be replaced by an organic halogen which is light-sensitive and is present either in the diazonium layer or a layer on the back of the support (if this is porous) and after imagewise exposure and development a second uniform exposure produces images with an absorption maximum in the ultraviolet. Alternatively, either a diazonium compound may be applied after development or excess diazonium compound may be added before imagewise exposure so that a uniform exposure after development produces an image with the desired absorption maximum. The images produced are used as originals for diazotype materials. |
