Abstract
A photographic rinse composition has been developed which reduces jamming in the processing of photographic print materials and prevents biological growth on and leaching of materials from the print materials. This composition includes a vinyl pyrrolidone polymer, at least about 0.02 g/l of a biocide mixture comprising 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, and at least about 0.02 g/l of an alkyl ether sulfate surfactant. Cupric ion can also be included to stabilize the biocide mixture.
