Does anyone have any experience with these CD's of printable pages for stamp albums? They would work great as I could pick and choose the countries I want, but I want to know if they are detailed and accurate before I buy them. My sister runs a print shop, so I can get high quality paper printed with archival ink quite cheap. Any comments?

Link to Ireland pages, but this seller has pretty much every country.

I would check out the Steiner pages at www.stampalbums.com. It costs $30.00 for a yearly subscription and you can print all the countries you want.

This guy is probably reselling Steiner's pages anyway. Just go right to the source and avoid these scammers.

I own the German pages from this seller. They're thorough enough for a fairly specialized collection.

I asked the seller from the OP to send me a sample page as a PDF. We'll see how it compares to Steiner's stuff.

The guy just sent me his Ireland "sample pages." They are, in fact, Bill Steiner pages. I sent an email off to Bill Steiner with the sample pages and the auction and seller ID.

Don't know anything about the pages, but I did note that they are formatted for A4 paper. That might be an issue for someone outside of Europe (if you resize them for printing on 8.5 x 11 paper, they box size foe each stamp would likely change, too).

Are there any pages out there with the stamp images on them? I am using the Unity albums for my Canadian collection, and I love having the images as a reference.

I don't know of any printable pages with images. The images are usually copyrighted by the postal service of the country in question.

OK, so the Steiner ones look like the way to go. Anyone have any suggestions for premade or custom binders to put them in? I can get some nice binders made any way that I want by my sister, but they have to be made in multiples of 25.

He might have a "license" from Bill Steiner to offer and print the pages in A4 size. These would interest mostly European collectors that use A4 size paper. I notice that he offers a lot of countries and appears to be doing a brisk business on e-bay.

If on the other hand he does not have "permission"...then

Well, that's up to Steiner to decide. I paid my $30 to Bill and he does good work. I don't want to see his hard work give money to someone else without Bill getting a piece of it.
