Oh, and you asked about paper. I use white, 24lb paper. The way I set my albums up is I place the pages in page protectors (two pages, facing outwards) to give the appearance of souble-sided pages. In the future I will do write-ups for my stamps, and will place them in the facing page to the album pages.

Printer - Inkjet I got for free

Maybe this is a stupid question but on custom pages how do you know how big to make the box for the stamp?

As far as knowing what size to make the boxes I take the stamp and find the right size mount and then size the box to match the mount.

I'm using a MS word macro that's available (album page creator) and have liked the US pages I've made so far.

PostmasterGS,

How do you manage to print out such a wide punched album sheet?!

I tried many times through different printers with no luck! I'm talking about big album sheets like Lindner, Light House ...etc


Cheers

The pages are Schaubek-sized (276 x 292mm or about 10.8 x 11.5"). I started my albums on a Canon S9000 Inkjet, and have since switched to an HP CP5225DN Color Laserjet.
