Geo Knight DK16 Digital Knight 14" x 16" Clamshell Heat Press - DK16
The Geo Knight DK16 14" x 16" is a mid-sized clamshell heat press that opes for full access to the lower bottom table. It is important to note that the back of the heat platen raises above and away from the bottom table, providing enhanced access compared to other clamshell heat presses. The frame support allows operators to slide shirts over the table with complete drape space around and underneath the loading area. Interchangeable bottom tables for smaller pressing areas are available. This press is ideal for environments with space limitations.
The DK16 can be easily upgraded to an automatic release press with the "Pop-Up" upgrade. This allows for faster semi-automatic garment production at a very reasonable price.
