Mid-State Litho builds this collection around production numbering equipment for print shops and binderies that need to number, perforate, and score in a single pass. Six of the seven machines here are Graphic Whizard or Morgana units, chosen for sequential numbering on multi-part NCR forms, invoices, tickets, raffle stubs, work orders, and certificates.
The Graphic Whizard line runs from the tabletop GW 3000 up through the GW 6000, GW 8000E, GW 8000P, and 8000P-DS, to the floor-standing GW 12000 with its register board and conveyor outfeed. The Morgana FSN II is the rotary numbering machine on this page, with suction-feed sheet handling for tickets and cheque work. The FinishMaster 100 covers perforating and scoring when numbering is not required.
Every Graphic Whizard numbering system arrives with a 12 TPI perforating blade and a scoring blade, so one machine handles automatic numbering, perforating, and scoring together. Whether you run occasional short-run tickets or daily production, there is a feed type and volume tier here to match.
Working the nearby lanes too? Mid-State Litho also stocks paper drills, corner rounding machines, and a wider range of bindery and specialty finishing equipment.
Graphic Whizard Numbering Machines
The Graphic Whizard numbering range covers every volume tier, and each system numbers, perforates, and scores in the same pass:
- GW 3000: tabletop, programmable, single-head auto-feed. The entry point for occasional short-run numbering, and it ships with a 12 TPI perforating blade and a scoring blade.
- GW 6000: a programmable tabletop step up in auto-feed throughput for busier short-run work.
- GW 8000E: tabletop electric model with higher throughput for growing volumes.
- GW 8000P: floor model with pneumatic feed for steady production, available by quote.
- GW 8000P-DS: floor model in the same 8000P family for higher-spec numbering work.
- GW 12000: pneumatic floor model with a register board and conveyor outfeed, built for long production runs.

Morgana FSN II Rotary Numbering Machine
The Morgana FSN II is a rotary numbering machine: numbering wheels rotate against the sheet as it feeds, which suits clean sequential work on tickets, cheques, and forms. That contrasts with crash numbering, where a numbering head strikes straight down through the sheet and through multi-part sets. The FSN II uses suction-feed sheet handling for consistent registration on smooth or coated stocks.
Its numbering boxes are replaceable wear parts, and Mid-State Litho supplies the full set: Reverse Parallel (PRT-4186), Forward Parallel (PRT-4187), Reverse Convex (PRT-4188), and Forward Convex (PRT-4189). Parallel boxes lay numbers in line, while convex boxes follow a curved path for specialty layouts. Morgana is a Plockmatic brand, and we stock the numbering boxes and numbering heads that keep an FSN II in production.
How to Choose a Numbering Machine
Four questions narrow the field quickly:
- Feed type and volume. Friction and auto-feed tabletops (GW 3000, GW 6000, GW 8000E) handle short runs, while pneumatic floor models (GW 8000P, GW 12000) are built for daily production. The GW 12000 adds a register board and conveyor outfeed for the longest runs.
- Numbering method. Choose crash numbering for multi-part carbonless (NCR) sets, where the head presses through every part at once, or rotary numbering (the Morgana FSN II) for sequential tickets and cheque work.
- Combination finishing. Every Graphic Whizard numbering system includes a 12 TPI perforating blade and a scoring blade, so one machine numbers, perforates, and scores in a single pass. For perforating and scoring without numbering, the FinishMaster 100 does that job, and you can compare it against our other perforating, slitting and scoring machines.
- Budget. The live range here runs from $6,805 for the FinishMaster 100 to $20,806 for the Morgana FSN II, and financing is available across the line.

Why Buy Your Numbering Machine from Mid-State Litho
Mid-State Litho is an authorized Graphic Whizard and Morgana dealer, not a reseller passing along a box. Our factory-trained technicians install, service, and support every machine we sell, which matters on numbering equipment where the numbering heads, perforating blades, and scoring blades are wear parts. We keep Graphic Whizard parts on the shelf so a worn head or blade does not stop your production.
We are a second-generation family business, founded in June 1984 and based in Grand Blanc, Michigan, serving the Great Lakes region across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Quotes turn around the same day: tell us your sheet sizes, stock, and daily volume, and we will match you to the right feed type and numbering method. Ask about financing and leasing to spread the investment, and lean on our service and support team long after the sale.

Numbering Machine FAQ
What is a rotary numbering machine?
A rotary numbering machine, such as the Morgana FSN II, prints sequential numbers with rotating numbering wheels as each sheet feeds through. It differs from crash numbering, where a numbering head strikes straight down through the sheet. Rotary numbering suits clean, high-registration work on tickets, cheques, and forms.
What is the difference between manual and automatic numbering machines?
Mid-State Litho stocks automatic, feed-through numbering systems that number a full stack without hand placement. A manual hand stamper is a different tool meant for numbering one sheet at a time, so it is not interchangeable with the production machines in this collection.
Can a numbering machine also perforate and score?
Yes. Every Graphic Whizard numbering system ships with a 12 TPI perforating blade and a scoring blade, so the same machine can number, perforate, and score in one pass. If you only need perforating and scoring, the FinishMaster 100 handles that.
What is a numbering box, and can it be replaced?
A numbering box is the wheel assembly that sets the sequence on a rotary machine. On the Morgana FSN II it is replaceable, and we supply forward and reverse parallel and convex boxes (PRT-4186 through PRT-4189). On Graphic Whizard machines, we service and replace the numbering heads.
Do numbering machines work with carbonless (NCR) multi-part forms?
Yes. Crash numbering presses the numbering head through an entire multi-part carbonless set in a single pass, so every part in the NCR form carries the same sequential number.
