Photo albums can be created as well using your Lexmark cartridges. To get the highest quality photos use photo print paper which is specially designed to print photos. You will need your Lexmark printer and its cartridges. Take your own pictures, develop them and you can document your pictures with built in text options.

To get the best quality photos you should use photo paper- the output will be enhanced.

Are you a writer? You can self-publish your own book. You will need your PC and as mentioned the appropriate applications and your printer.

You will need a hot glue gun for binding your book.

Another fun project to do with your Lexmark cartridges and your PC is creating your own family cookbook. You will want to get various colors of printer paper, for example if it's a Thanksgiving cookbook, you might choose Autumn colors. Gather your favorite family recipes together and giving credit to the person who submitted them print them up on recipe cards you create with your pc and printer. You can also print them up on quality paper and put them in a decorated binder. You will need the following your pc and printer, assorted colored paper, laminating paper, a three-hole punch, adhesive reinforcements, and a glue stick. The paper should be acid free because it will reduce the yellowing and aging of the paper. You will also need a one inch hard covered binder. A digital camera is optional but if you want to take pictures of the dishes you have received it would certainly help. The greater the pixels the greater the capacity of the camera. One with a memory card is best.

The projects are numerous that can be created with Lexmark cartridges and your pc. As mentioned before any paper you buy should be acid free as should the glue stick. Experiment and have fun with it.
