Hi scanners, re the damage to the scanner when doing jewellery.
I photocopy all my exhibition pieces. That way I have a record of
the exact size. As I use someone else’s machine, I alwys protec
the surface with a piece of clear A4 size plastic sheet that I
purchased from a drawing supply shop. It is some kind of floppy
celludoid. works a treat with the photcopier. might be worth
trying with the scanner, if you are concerned about scratching
the surface.
