Very nice. AlbumEasy is a great product for product for creating pages.
Are you saying when you moisten the mount and apply the moisture on the mount causes colors run?
I use a glue stick, Elmer's Craft Bond Repositionable, so avoid moisture but not because of ink running. I do not like the licking or applying moisture. The mounts can be repositioned for some time after mounting before final bond sets and usually removes cleanly without damaging page in case you need to reprint page. I do use a colo(u)r laser printer.
I second the use of Elmer's Craft Bond Repositionable for low value used stamps... everything else gets mounts.
What a nice looking page DannyS, I am pleased that you are finding AlbumEasy useful.
I collect British South Africa Company (Rhodesia) so I am quite familiar with this group of stamps but I have more or less resigned myself to the bottom row always remaining empty boxes.

I use the glue stick with mounts. The adhesive is a dry type somewhat like post it notes (not sure about actual chemistry). It does not harden like water activated adhesives.
I can't find the repositionable glue sticks. Ones I found are repositionable, but only for a few minutes. They are far too permanent for me. I continue, as I have since the early 70's, to just give a quick lick at the centre-bottom of the mounts. Mounts from the 70's still hold tight after all these years. I have always been amazed at how people seem to think the entire mount needs to be adhered to the page!

I took a couple of hours away from my usual work and experimented with the add image function in Clive's AlbumEasy software. I was very pleased with the initial results. Putting the images inside the frames to be eventually replaced with, I hope, stamps is very useful. The album almost becomes the "wants list". Well done again Clive. It makes real albums affordable and will empty some of my stock books and give me lots of duplicate stamps to trade.
I will put a black mount over the image when I have a stamp to put on the page. (I can't use clear mounts because my printer is an inkjet and the colours would run. If you were using a colour laser printer clear mounts could work.) This time I added images of all the stamps. In future I will just add images of stamps I don't have. (In this series I don't have any values over 1 shilling and I'm missing one or two of the shades.)
