A document titled 'Metal Surface Quality' explaining that metal etching sheets are delivered pre-coated, and the surface may vary slightly between sheets due to manufacturing differences. It mentions the reflective quality and marking from brushes used during manufacturing, notes that results are rechargeable as the surface is not visible until finished, and states that scratches and gouges are unacceptable. It also provides instructions for requesting cost quotes for etching services.
