A Numbering Machine is a tool used by a variety of businesses to stamp numbers onto papers, helping to organize and sort stacks. Numberers are available in stamp format, or actual numbering machines that electrically stamp the pages, allowing for stamping through multiple part papers. In this article we will compare two of Lassco Wizer's most popular numbering machines, the W-200 Number-All and the W-100-3 Number-Rite.
The main difference between the two numberers is that the W-100-3 Number Rite Numbering Machine features adjustable hit crash numbers that are strong enough to go through up to 8-part NCR carbonless papers while the W-200 Number All Numbering machine will go through up to 4-part NCR carbonless papers.
The numbering heads on both models can be changed out between gothic or roman font, giving you versatility. Each numbering head features six numbers, so you can stamp from 1 through 999999 easily. The impression size is the standard 3/16" tall. It is self-inked so re-inking after stamping is not an issues, seriously speeding up production. Set-up is easy with simple registration and movable paper guides so that you can achieve the perfect numbering location on your sheets. The numbering head on the W-100-3 Number Rite can be set in any direction, including tilted forward or backward to make sure you get the best impression. With the Number Rite or Number All Numbering Machines, you can number consecutive, duplicate, triplicate, 4 times, 6 times, 12 times, and repeat action. Automatic number rotation assures that you stay on track and removes the tedious task of using a stylus to rotate the numbering wheels after each stamp. Special metal numbering ink is available in three colors: black, red and blue, giving you the versatility you ask for. Each Numberer comes with 1 ink pad, 1 stylus and 1 container4 of black ink. It runs with standard 115V electrical and weighs about 13 pounds. Both the W-100-3 Number-Rite Machine and the W-200 Number-All Machine are backed by a one year limited manufacturer's warranty on the machine, and a 90 day manufacturer's warranty on the numbering head.
Proper maintenance is key to lengthening the life of your numbering machine. If you start to notice that the imprint quality is fading (whether it is smeared or if the numbers are not advancing properly) then it is time to clean and oil the numbering head. Use our Lube & Clean Numbering Machine Cleaner to get the job done. Remember, this needs to be done every time you use a different color ink. We also recommend cleaning the suction feet when needed to get a firm grip on the work surface. Just use either soap and water, or standard rubbing alcohol to remove dirt. When cleaning the suction feet, be sure that they are not holding the machine in place.; instead, remove them from the machine to clean and then re-attach once dry.
