Details & specifications
The Graphic Whizard PT MCP is a tabletop manual creasing and perforating machine for short-run and occasional finishing. It creases down the sheet and cross-perfs across it, the two operations a digital print shop needs most to fold cleanly without toner cracking on the spine. It handles sheets up to 18 inches wide and small pieces down to 2 inches by 2 inches, so it covers everything from business cards to larger folded work. Because it is manual, there is no setup overhead, making it the economical choice for the low-volume or one-off crease and perf jobs that do not justify an automated creaser. Mid-State Litho is an authorized Graphic Whizard dealer and installs, trains, and services the PT Series across Michigan and the Great Lakes. Not a drop-ship: we deliver it, set it up, and support it.

How to choose a paper creaser
- Volume: manual vs automated. The PT MCP (this page) is manual, best for low-volume or occasional crease and perf jobs. If you crease all day, step up to an automated GW PT Series creaser (the PT 335-class units) where sheets feed and crease automatically.
- Functions: crease only vs crease + perf. The PT MCP does both crease and cross-perf, so you do not need a second machine for perforated tear-off work.
- Sheet size. It runs up to 18 inches wide and down to 2 inch by 2 inch, covering business cards through larger folded sheets.
- Why crease at all. On digitally printed sheets, creasing before folding is what stops toner cracking on the spine. If you fold digital prints without scoring, this is the machine that fixes it.
Frequently asked questions
What does the PT MCP do?
It creases and cross-perforates sheets on a tabletop, manually, for short-run finishing.
Will it stop toner cracking on digital prints?
Yes, scoring the fold line before folding is what prevents toner from cracking along the spine on digitally printed sheets.
What sheet sizes does it handle?
Up to 18 inches wide, down to a 2 inch by 2 inch minimum.
Is it automatic?
No, it is a manual machine, which keeps it economical for low-volume or occasional crease and perf jobs; automated GW PT Series creasers handle higher volumes.
Does Mid-State Litho install and service it?
Yes, factory-trained install, training, and same- or next-day service across Michigan and the Great Lakes. It is not a drop-ship.
