Abstract
Photographic print elements are disclosed of enhanced speed and controlled minimum densities provided by emulsion layer units that contain emulsions that are blends of (a) cubical silver iodochloride grains that contain iodide in a controlled, non-uniform distribution forming a core containing at least half of total silver, a iodide-free surface shell having a thickness of greater than 25 .ANG., and a sub-surface shell that contains a maximum iodide concentration and (b) minimum density controlling silver halide grains that are of smaller mean grain size than the silver iodochloride grains and that consist essentially of chloride and/or bromide and are present in a molar concentration at least equal to that of silver iodide in the silver iodochloride grains.
