That's not easy
Printed albums always have missing spots for the stamp you have.
Steiner's pages are easy to mod to fit your need, but you also have to redo the page to add stamps not included, so you trash mounts.
Stockbooks; the interleave pages are always in the way, stamps get out the stripes all the time
Vario; Pages are hard to turn and you limited; not all the stamps on a pages fit in the same size stripe
Virtual Albums; You need to make a lot of scans

If you ready to accept that you may have to replace pages, Steiner's pages mod or not are an economical way to do if you place 2 pages back to back in a plastic protector. This allow you to use 22 pounds paper, used hinges for the CTO and stamps with low values.

For me it's gone be quite simple, no more World Album project; I will use Steiner's Pages , Many of them modified to be in some case more specialises and other case less specialised, meaning different watermarks or perforations will not be included

As example Hungary will be fallowing the Hungarian Catalogue, Scott have to many mistakes and they don't include the Stereotype and Electrotype ( see bottom images )

I will do only the series I like from countries I like, the rest will be host in my Scott International up to 1980 , or different albums I have ( Lighthouse, Minkus , Scott )


All the Steiner's pages type will be centred, insert back to back in a protector and place in 2 posts binders, that allow me to use hinges or mounts

As you see on the images I add some info , like watermark and detail to ID the stamps. ( Some are scan from books I own and for my own usage so, I fell confortable to use them )

I too am using Steiner's pages (stored in Vario-G binders) for my WW collection. What software do you use to modify his pages?
