Marks from mat show up on fondant

This product was so close to perfect but it has one big flaw as a mat for rolling out fondant that I'm surprised no one else pointed out. Then again, I guess there aren't that many reviews by bakers for this item. The mat is thin, the edges don't look like they will fray, it sticks perfect my table and counter top, it nicely folds away for storage. It was going so well and then I rolled out my fondant. I like to use my mats for not only rolling, but also placing the fondant on the cake, so the side that is facing the fondant ends up on the outside. Well, I discovered, as I was placing the fondant on the cake, the fondant was imprinted with all the lines and groves of the measurement markings and the little circles. Why?! It was so close to being THE One. None of my other mats do this so I was surprised. Alas, the search continues for a good mat for rolling out my fondant for my large cakes.
