Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8707039A2] High contrast development of photographic elements, such as lithographic films used in the field of graphic arts, is carried out in the presence of a hydrazine compound with an aqueous alkaline developing solution which has a pH of above 10 and below 12 and contains a dihydroxybenzene developing agent, an auxiliary super-additive developing agent, a sulfite preservative, and a contrast-promoting amount of a hydroxyalkylated piperidine compound. The developing solution combines the advantages of high capacity, a high degree of stability, and a long effective life, while providing excellent contrast and speed characteristics.
