Binding & Pressroom Supplies: Your Michigan Print Shop Consumables & Parts Dealer

Mid-State Litho is a Michigan-based, second-generation family business that has sold and serviced print finishing equipment across the Great Lakes region since 1984. This page is the supplies counterpart to our equipment collections: the consumables, adhesives, parts and blades that keep a bindery and pressroom running between equipment purchases.

On the binding side we stock EVA and PUR book binding glue chips and slugs for perfect binders, thermal Fast Back strips, and laminating film in gloss, matte, soft-touch and specialty finishes. On the pressroom side we carry printing inks, anti-setoff offset powders, offset printing blankets, blanket wash and fountain solution, polyester printing plates, and cutting sticks and drill bits for guillotines and paper drills. We also keep OEM and aftermarket parts moving: Graphic Whizard factory parts, Mitsubishi imaging parts and platesetter consumables, Oki and MGI digital print supplies, and replacement knives and guillotine blades for Challenge, MBM and Horizon cutters.

Because we sell and service the machines these supplies feed, we can match a consumable or a wear part to your exact model rather than guessing from a part number. Whether you are a commercial print shop sourcing book binding adhesive, a bindery looking for a binding equipment supplier, or a plant manager who needs pressroom supplies on a deadline, our factory-trained technicians can confirm the right item before it ships. We sell, service and finance equipment across Michigan and the Great Lakes, and we keep the supplies for it on the shelf.

How Our Binding & Pressroom Supplies Are Organized

Our supplies catalog covers eight groups, and most shops draw from several of them. Binding adhesives and films include EVA and PUR book binding glue for perfect binders, laminating film, and Fast Back thermal strips that pair with our laminating equipment. Pressroom chemistry covers blanket and roller wash, fountain solution, cleaners, and conditioners. Plates and imaging brings together polyester printing plates and Mitsubishi imaging parts and platesetter consumables. Digital and OEM supplies hold Oki toners and drums, MGI varnish and foils, and general digital print media and service items. Inks, powders, and blankets cover offset printing inks, anti-setoff powders, and offset printing blankets. Cutting and drilling supplies stock cutting sticks, drill bits, and feed and stacking aids. Parts and wear items keep belts, rollers, sensors, and Graphic Whizard equipment parts on the shelf. Knives and blades carry OEM and aftermarket guillotine blades for Challenge cutters and MBM equipment, plus Horizon cutters. If you are not sure which group your item falls under, call a technician and we will place it for you.

Why Buy Your Supplies from Mid-State Litho

We sell and service the equipment these supplies feed, so we match a consumable or a wear part to your exact machine rather than to a guessed part number. Our factory-trained, in-house service technicians are the same people who install and repair your equipment, and they confirm the right supply before it ships. We source both ways: genuine factory parts when only an OEM part will do, and cost-effective aftermarket blades and consumables when that is the better call. Mid-State Litho is family-owned, second-generation, and Michigan-based since 1984, with a Michigan and Great Lakes service area that means regional shipping and a regional response rather than a national hold queue. When a supply visit turns into an equipment conversation, we can carry it through with on-site service and support and equipment financing and leasing. Have a part number, a model, or a job in hand? Contact us and a technician will confirm the right item before you order.

Binding & Pressroom Supplies FAQ

What is the difference between EVA and PUR book binding glue?
EVA is a hot-melt adhesive that runs cooler and is forgiving on general trade work; PUR is a polyurethane reactive adhesive that cures into a stronger, more flexible, more solvent-resistant bind and handles difficult coated and digital stock. We stock both as chips and slugs for perfect binders.

Do you carry OEM parts for Graphic Whizard and Mitsubishi equipment?
Yes. We stock Graphic Whizard factory parts and Mitsubishi imaging parts and platesetter consumables, plus general belts, rollers and sensors. Because we service these machines, we can confirm the right part for your serial number before it ships.

Can I get replacement knives and blades for my Challenge, MBM or Horizon cutter?
Yes. We carry OEM and aftermarket guillotine knives and blades for Challenge, MBM and Horizon paper cutters, along with cutting sticks. Tell us the model and we will match the blade.

What pressroom chemistry and consumables do you stock?
Blanket and roller wash, fountain solution, cleaners and conditioners, offset printing inks, anti-setoff powders, offset printing blankets, and polyester printing plates, the recurring consumables an offset pressroom goes through.

Does Mid-State Litho ship binding and pressroom supplies across Michigan and the Great Lakes?
Yes. We are a Grand Blanc, Michigan dealer shipping supplies and parts across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with the same factory-trained technicians who service the equipment.
