PETERBOROUGH, U.K. - Aug. 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Brother Inc. today announced it is extending its partnership with Create and Craft to exclusively sell their ScanNCut machines in the UK. This will include exciting additions to the range of machines and accessories to add to the hugely successful CM600.

The Brother ScanNCut is the only home crafting machine that has a built in 300dpi scanner plus a precision cutting tool, allowing users to scan their designs and then cut these to shape for both paper crafting and fabric.

The first addition will be the CM300. Due to launch on the 27th August 2015, the CM300 has the same scanning and cutting functionality as others in the range but comes with only essential accessories allowing the user to customise subject to their requirement.

Future developments will have enhanced functionality including extra built-in fonts and designs plus WIFI, allowing connectivity to ScanNCut Canvas, a new cloud-based design application.

Tony Sheridan, Managing Director of Create and Craft says, “I am delighted to extend our partnership with Brother, the ScanNCut product has been a massive success and leads an evolution in technology within the crafting industry. Aligned to the new developments coming over the next year and beyond, we will be investing in education to enhance the user experience.”

Geoff Taylor, Sales Director of Brother UK says, “Create and Craft have been the perfect partner for Brother and our ScanNCut product. Being able to demonstrate the ability of the machine through a live TV medium allows customers to see how versatile both the scanning and cutting is and how it gives crafter more flexibility and creativity to their projects. An added benefit of the range is that all current and upcoming accessories will work across all machines.”

Taylor continues, “We are excited to extend our partnership with Create and Craft as we launch additions to the ScanNCut family. All our machines in the range will receive full support and updates from Brother and exciting educational support from Create and Craft.“
