PURPOSE:To improve the shelf stability of a dye image by incorporating a specified cyan coupler into at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support and a UV absorber which is liq. at ordinary temp. and a specified high b.p. org. solvent into the emulsion layer or a nonphotosensitive layer adjacent to the emulsion layer. CONSTITUTION:A cyan coupler represented by the formula (where R<1> is alkyl or aryl, R<2> is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or the like, R<3> is H, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy, R<3> and R<3> may bond to each other to form a ring and Z is H or a group releasable by a reaction with the oxidized product of a color developing agent) is incorporated into at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support. The UV absorber which is liq. at ordinary temp. and the specified high b.p. org. solvent are incorporated into the emulsion layer or a nonphotosensitive layer adjacent to the emulsion layer. The weight ratio of the org. solvent to total am. of the UV absorber is 0.65-0. When a sensitive material having such layers is used, a formed cyan dye image has superior dark fading resistance as well as light fading resistance and the discoloration of the low density part in a light place is especially prevented. The sensitive material is preferably used as color photographic printing paper for direct appreciation. |
