Scanning and Cutting on the ScanNcut

I recently had a request for some instructions for scanning. I will admit I mostly scan and cut stamps and have generally had good success. I show this in the video.

I think with most users scanning has a hit and miss sometimes. There are a few pointers worth following.

1. Make sure you have a closed defined outline. If your object does not have that you can lay a piece of acetate over it and draw an outline or perhaps colour the shape to get a good scan.

2. You can transfer your scan to Canvas Workspace and tidy up and rough edges.

3. Scan several times on black and white and colour, the scans will be different most times.

4. Make sure you have good light and no shadows on your mat.

5. You do not necessarily need a scanning mat, you can make one by laying clean white cardstock down and layering a piece of acetate over.

6. If you use Direct cut you will need to use a cutting mat.

7. If you still not get a good scan try photographing and tracing in Canvas Workspace.

Good luck. Hope this helps.
