It is rather simple to make your own PC stamp album with generic graphic tools (I use MS PowerPoint).
You don't need expensive or advanced tools. Basically, the task is to draw
and align rectangles of different sizes.... The main job is choosing layout
and fitting room/rectangles for each stamp. Based on your personal taste
and preferences you can design your pages exactly as you want. This makes
the album a very personal product. Only your imagination will limit the
layout of the album....
The album pages can be printed on normal paper, but I prefer specialized grayish
A4-sized heavy paper from Lighthouse (140 g/m2). This is expensive and requires a
bigger printer, but the result is so much better..... When the pages are
printed, I use black Hawid mounting strips to avoid hinging the stamps.
I would like to hear any comments you might have about the album! Also, if you are
more interested in discussing album design generally, you are welcome to send me an email!
I also make special album pages for Romanian forgeries. Here are a couple of samples
from these pages:

Here you can download part
1 of my stamp album for Romania in .pdf format. You may copy and use
the album as you wish, but any commercial use of the album is strictly
prohibited. Note that the album is based on the Michel catalog numbering system.
The original album is made on A4 standard pages. To enable printing on US letter format
paper, I have also made a special version with a small adjustment of the
bottom of the page frame. The design of the album itself is identical with
the original files.
Sometimes problems occur between Acrobat Reader and Internet Explorer. If the file
appears to be "empty" after download, you can try to download the file to your own computer by
right-clicking on the file icon and choosing "Save target as...", then
try to open the file from your local disk. Note that making this album is very slow work indeed, so please do not ask me when
I might have further pages ready!
