A color photographic element has a reflective support and a blue light sensitive color record, a green light sensitive color record, and a red light sensitive color record and can be used to provide color photographic prints. The element also has a non-light sensitive layer over the red light sensitive color record. This non-light sensitive layer has (1) a hydrophilic colloid in an amount of at least 200 mg/mto and including 2,000 mg/m, (2) matte particles, and (3) an acrylate latex polymer having latex particles having an average size of less than 1 &#x3bc;m and a glass transition temperature of at least 70&#xb0; C. The dry weight ratio of the acrylate latex polymer to the hydrophilic colloid is at least 0.8:1 and the dry weight ratio of the acrylate latex polymer to the total matte particles is at least 15:1.

Color photographic silver halide paper and use

A color photographic element has a reflective support and a blue light sensitive color record, a green light sensitive color record, and a red light sensitive color record can be used to provide color photographic prints. The element also has a non-light sensitive interlayer between the green light and red light sensitive color records. This interlayer comprises a hydrophilic colloid and an acrylic latex polymer having a glass transition temperature (T) of less than 0&#xb0; C. The presence of this acrylic latex polymer in the interlayer reduces the formation of a cyan line defect when the color photographic print is folded or creased, such as in photobooks.
