A first sample is easier to review when the setup is visible before the mark is made. A fixture photo does not need to be polished. It only needs to show the blank, the orientation, the reference edge, and any simple placement aid used before engraving.

AntBelt G1 is being presented for compact desk-side sample work, so this habit helps keep the review practical. If a result looks shifted, rotated, or too close to an edge, the setup photo gives the maker something concrete to compare against.

A simple first-sample record can include:

  1. One photo before engraving.
  2. One note about the artwork version.
  3. One note about the material or blank type.
  4. One result photo before the setup is moved.

This approach keeps the first test from becoming a vague memory. It does not claim a final material result, and it avoids treating one sample as proof for every future blank.
