I am looking for Lighthouse or Kabe hingeless stamp albums, preferably located in the US to reduce shipping costs. Now comes the picky part: no springback binders/pages, please! New or used is fine so long as they're in good condition.

Thank you!

As far as I know, current/recent Lighthouse pages - and probably Kabe - fit both springbacks and ring binders. You just need to specify that the punch holes are there.

For Lighthouse (and perhaps Kabe, as well), all pages are the same and all will fit the LH two-post, ring, and springback binders. Specifying "no springback binders" makes sense but "no springback pages" does not -- if you see what I mean.

You specified "Austria" in your title, but not in your comment. If you want specific pages for a country like Austria, you can print them onto blank LH or Kabe pages using the Steiner page layouts (or others) to match any existing pages you have. I've done that and go them to match existing pages by changing the fonts so they match.

To do that, I add Steiner page files to the PDF Candy website (or any similar one) and change them from PDF to Word documents with a few clicks. These can then be edited in Word and printed out on regular computer paper. Then I take these "originals" to Fedex where I load my blank album pages in the side hopper (for larger blank paper) and print my original page layouts onto them one page at a time. Time consuming, but the resemblance to the pages I'm matching them to, as they say, will be uncanny.

I've filled in missing pages in multiple albums this way, and you'd be hard pressed to even notice that they were self-made pages. Making an entire album this way is also certainly possible, but it will be time consuming.

Older Lighthouse springback pages won't be punched for ring binders. Check first.

I'm going to do my very best at being diplomatic towards these responses, but dear lord am I irritated.

1) I specified HINGELESS albums. I have not the time, patience, nor the desire to buy or print any other pages and then add mounts.

2) Whether you like my description or not, it is crystal clear what I meant - I am looking for HINGELESS ALBUMS that are not the springback variety. That is: albums made up of Lighthouse or KaBe ring binders and pages. A beginner might not understand my comment about "springback" binders and pages, in which case, were I to be offered said album, I would politely decline with an explanation.

3) Austria is in the title, which was good enough to get your attention so if you have nothing useful to say, why are you commenting?!?
