Claim:
1. A method for providing an article, comprising: providing a metal catalytic pattern composed of a non-aqueous metal catalytic composition on a substrate, the non-aqueous metal catalytic composition comprising, in admixture: (a) a silver-oxime complex comprising reducible silver ions, in an amount of at least 2 weight % and up to and including 25 weight %, (b) a silver ion photoreducing composition in an amount of at least 1 weight % and up to and including 10 weight %, and (c) a photocurable component, a non-curable polymer, or a combination of a photocurable component and a non-curable polymer in an amount of at least 10 weight % and up to and including 90 weight %, all amounts being based on the total amount of components (a) through (c) in the non-aqueous metal catalytic composition, to provide a precursor article comprising the metal catalytic pattern composed of the non-aqueous metal catalytic composition, wherein the silver-oxime complex is represented by the following Structure (I): wherein R R R R Q is OH or OR wherein R is an alkyl having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; X is a coordinating or non-coordinating anion such as NO
