Ok, I just ran a page with a few fabric items. My copier doesn't distort the
items to any noticeable degree. I suspect that the fact that it's one of those
"personal" copiers helps. The glass is only a half an inch or so from the
drum. I'm not sure if there even is a lens. There could be some end to end
distortion if the paper slips, but I ran one of the big pirate sails which is
almost 10" long, and there is less than a millimeter of stretching. I don't
think you'll get any more distortion than a trace would get.
