    Selecting colours during printing

    It was actually nicer than when i did an OCR version which had a lot of artifacts. Speaking of genealogy, i believe that i have found someone who will go back 7 generations.

So i did all the processes over a few times and did the big deep cleaning which still showed issues. So i decided to just it leave it as i do not need...
