Here’s a close up of my mat- you see the black bits from cutting the black paper? They are embedded in the blade marks- and they show up when you scan things. So either scan on top of white paper, or get an additional mat and keep it just for scanning. However, these are nice sturdy mats- much moreso than my Silhouette ones.
