solution including a buffer and a hydrogen peroxide at a pH of
11.0.
Iwano discloses an aqueous monobath development-
intensifying solution containing hydrogen peroxide or a
compound which releases hydrogen peroxide and a color
developing agent (column 3, lines 9 through 23; column 5,
lines 64 through 68). The aqueous solution may be used in any
one of known systems useful for performing monobath type
color-intensifying processing (column 4, lines 49 through 54)
and include coating development methods where a first solution
containing a color-developing agent and second solution
containing hydrogen peroxide or a compound which releases
hydrogen peroxide may be used separately successively or the
first and second solutions may be mixed to form a single
solution followed by application of the single solution
(column 5, lines 21 through 29). The pH of the monobath
development-intensifying solution is 9 or higher, preferably
from 10 to 12 (column 5, lines 61 through 63). Hydroxylamine
sulfate is disclosed as an additive which may be further
included in the development-intensifier solution (column 12,
lines 3 through 5). A variety of other additives may be
