12x12-inch scanning mat for CM plotters

An optional accessory best suited for Brother plotters equipped with a USB port or a connection to a PC or other storage device. The Brother scanning mat features a clean, smooth, non-adhesive surface without an inch-based grid. It is ideal for scanning delicate materials when you are concerned about potential damage—such as tearing—associated with using adhesive mats. Because it is non-adhesive, the scanning mat is gentler on materials than standard mats. We recommend the Brother scanning mat to users who wish to use their ScanNCut cutting plotter primarily to digitize images. This allows you to preserve your favorite images, documents, educational aids, handwritten notes, analog photos, artwork, and more. The manufacturer advises against using the Brother scanning mat for cutting purposes; the standard mats included with ScanNCut plotters are sufficient for the "Scan to Cut" function (where the plotter scans and subsequently cuts out a design).
