I was on vacation out of the country, and I purchased a small A5 sized binder with twenty holes (two big, and 18 small) like so:
I love this binder, and I love this paper! I've yet to have one page tear along any of the holes (something that's plagued me for a long time with two and three hole punched pages), and it's just the right size to fit side-by-side on a desk with a sketchbook. I can take the paper out, weigh it down with my cell phone on the desk, and it's just grand.
But I can't find any more paper for it. I still have a lot left, but this is a problem I'd like to address before it's too much of a problem. So there are two things I'm looking for here:
1: Another binder like this. I've heard of small 2-hole folders, and that should work for archival, but I wouldn't mind another binder like this one.
2: An A5 20-hole punch. Ordering more paper would be OK, but I believe just making more would be optimal, since that would give me freedom to choose materials, and not rely on whatever strange source becomes the source for these things.
Thanks!

You'll have one extra hole at the bottom, and you'll have to punch the 2 big holes with something else (maybe a little hand held single punch), but it would work. It's a bizarre and labor intensive solution, but since you cared about this enough to try and figure it out (rather than buying a 3 hole binder like everyone else) I thought you might be willing to do it. If you're super anal about it, you could disable the 7th puncher on the last pass and you'd get factory perfect paper.
I can't believe I just spent 15 minutes figuring that out
