Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
The metallic image forming article of claim 1, wherein said support is opaque, transparent or translucent and is in the form of a sheet or film.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
34 words
The metallic image forming article of claim 1, wherein said support is a support of porcelain, an amorphous glass, a crystalline glass, a metal, a metal alloy, a synthetic resin, or a combination thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
