PURPOSE: To facilitate workability to take out the tongue end of a film in spite of core setting, to obviate generation of nonuniform developing, breaking at the rear end and rubbing flaws and to improve the preservable property and color reproducibility of color images by using a specific base which has a layer contg. specific couplers on a base and consists of a poly(alkylene arom. carboxylate).

CONSTITUTION: This silver halide color photographic sensitive material has the layer contg. the couplers expressed by the formula. The base thereof consists of the poly(alkylene arom. carboxylate) and its glass transition temp. is ≥50 to ≤200°C. The base is heat treated at a temp. above 40°C and below the glass transition temp. during the time before application of an under coating layer or after the application of the under coating layer and before application of a silver halide photosensitive agent. In the formula, R1 denotes a hydrogen atom or substituent. Z denotes a nonmetal atom group forming a 5-membered azole ring contg. 2 to 3 pieces of nitrogen atoms; X denotes a hydrogen atom or a group which is eliminatable at the time of coupling reaction with the oxidant of a developing agent.
