Abstract
An inexpensive, safe method for sterilizing an apparatus for the preparation of a recording material, which obviates troubles affecting a coated surface of the recording material caused by bacteria and fungi, does not cause changes in photographic performance (sensitivity, fog, graininess and sharpness), can prevent the appearance of 'resistant cells', and can comply with environmental problems, said method comprising sterilizing a surface of the apparatus being in contact with a coating composition for the recording material by use of a strongly acidic solution having a redox potential of 1,000 mV or more which is obtained by electrolysis of water.
