Beautiful.I made a page or two for Eve's scrapbook maybe a colupe of months after she died, but it was just too hard.  So all of the stuff has been packed up.  One day...I'm glad that you could start.  I hope it's a peaceful journey.  One small step at a time... Big hugs.

Some printers aclautly use color to print black (for instance, some mix in a little yellow). So you do need the color cartridge, even if you're only printing black. If you never print color, a laser printer might be a better choice.

I agree, any topic connected with the Civil War would be a great chioce.  Try to find a more specific topic within this subject to focus on (what kind of weapons were in use, Andersonville prison camp, The Confederate States of America, etc.).

How big do you want to print them, and how much money do you have to spend? Are you primarily pinntrig B W or color? Will you be pinntrig massive quantities for sale or just a few?There are far too many options for a simple answer.
