As the subject indicates I am looking for software for album pages. I have some "side projects" as I call them, additional countries with few issues, that I wanted to get into an album and out of glassines. However, I don't want to pay the top dollar to Amos for fancy ones. Is there somewhere I can find album pages cheaper or downloads I can print off myself? In particular I need them for Danzig and The UN to start with. I really like what chief.fontenot has done with the blue card stock. I would lke the ability to print on my own choice of paper.

Thanks for your help!

You have some options here:

1. Pay $30 and get a subscription to stampalbums.com. He has every country imaginable.

2. Albumeasy is a free command line took that will generate album pages based on a text file. http://www.thestampweb.com/

3. Stamp Page Creator is a free Java app with a full GUI for designing your own pages. http://stamppagetor.sourceforge.net/

4. Do them yourself from scratch using the free open source desktop publishing software Scribus http://www.scribus.net

There is also a web based solution called Stamp Album Pro, but I have never used it. http://stampalbumpro.com/

That's all I have discovered. If anyone has anything to add, please do.

Thanks apastuszak and floortrader for your quick reply. Does either of you or anyone know if any of these online services have the option to include Scott #'s on the pages you download. It would be nice to be able to have the Scott and Michel number on the Danzig pages that print. I know thats probably asking too much but it would be helpful to me. Also, is the fee for a set period of time, month year, etc.

Thanks again!

The Steiner pages do not have Scott numbers. But they do have very good descriptions. Steiner charges $30 a year for access to his site.

The rest of the list is just software to make your own pages. You can add Scott Numbers, if you want to, but you have to do as you lay out the pages.

One program I tried but it might be a little clunky but a build it your own album page is a program called Stamp Tags. Downloaded it a while ago seems ok but as I said clunky.

I use this software: http://www.stampalbumstudio.nl/en/

Kinda expensive, but works well. Free demo version.

Cheers

I have yet to find a piece of software that will let me put multi sentence descriptions under the stamp, so I decided to just use a desktop publishing app. Little more work, but I get the results I want.
