When I was younger I had albums for many of my stamps. Each year an update would be printed and I could add it to my album. It gave me an easy way to know what I had and didn't have in my collection. While i am not about to run out and look for pages to an album that is 20 years old, and not large enough to hold more pages, it would be nice to find an online resource for pages. I saw a suggestion here of doing it yourself, but that might be more difficult than finding the stamps. Does anyone know of online dealers in this sort of material? Or better yet free printable pages?
You might try Steiner pages. Not free, but just about everything you might want in the way of country pages. http://www.stampalbums.com/ If you collect U.S. stamps, check out the APS website. They offer some free pages for U.S. stamps. http://stamps.org/Free-Album-Pages If you want Scott album pages from prior or current years, or blank pages for Scott albums try Amos Advantage. https://www.amosadvantage.com/scottonline/popup_cat_sub.asp?Tab=stamp&subcategory=scott pages For commercially printed albums, I have always been partial to Washington Press White Ace pages. See this link. https://www.washpress.com/white_ace_album_pages.jsp For general stamp collecting supplies, including album pages try Subway. http://www.subwaystamp.com/Album-Pages/departments/26/ This is probably more than you wanted to know about availability of album pages, but it should give you a start and quite a bit of choice.

Don has some great links. I posted this link somewhere a while back but it bears a repost. It is a very simple album page creator that is free and easy to use. http://www.freestampalbum.com/
It looks like this link has good potential to make free pages, but how do you space the stamp frames out on a page? Don
Thanks for all the links. They were exactly what I was looking for. Now I guess I will have to get some better quality paper for my printer.
When I print my pages, I use a standard multipurpose paper, 20# weight and 92 bright. If it is acid free it'll last for our lifetime anyway. You can use card stock weight paper, easier to turn pages, but it's bulky and fills up the albums quickly. Do some experimenting and choose the paper you like best. Don
The page generator does its own spacing and will fit as many stamps in a row and generate as many rows as the title, size of the stamps and captions allow. The program has limitations but is quick and simple to use. A little experimentation with the program will illustrate it's capabilities.
That's actually what I use, makes life so much easier! haha. Plus you gotta love the fact that it is free. There are a lot of them out there but they cost a bit too much for me, I like anything that is free
I would seriously suggest based on your previous experience to obtain an album with the pages you require. Pages you need not get all at once. Your Philatelic Federation would list many dealers and perhaps near you. It is best to work with what you are familiar producing something new just takes up your time if you have it.
