How should I compare these FR5 pad marks under the same lighting?

Our coated housings show a narrow pad band under the inspection lamp, but not in the supplier's diffuse-light photographs. How should I define the appearance comparison before agreeing to softer FR5 gripper pads?

Can quality examine the same marked housing before anyone makes another pad set?

They have that housing already, with its pre-trial photograph. They haven't decided whether the band is unacceptable under the customer's appearance requirement.

I'd wait for that decision and ask them to show the supplier the viewing arrangement they used.

Soft pads gave us cleaner-looking parts but needed more frequent cleaning, which nobody had allowed for. Include repeated holding and release with representative parts in any comparison, and find out who will maintain the contact surfaces.
