Digital Knight DK16 Clamshell Heat Press – 14" x 16" Heavy-Duty Press

The Digital Knight DK16 Clamshell Heat Press is a 14" x 16" mid-sized, business-grade heat press designed for high-pressure applications, portability, and ease of use. As one of the most affordable yet heavy-duty digital heat presses, it is perfect for small businesses, startups, and professional print shops.

With a wide-opening clamshell design, the DK16 allows for full access to the lower platen, making it easy to slide garments over the table for precise placement. Unlike traditional clamshells, the heat platen raises above and away from the bottom table, providing better accessibility for garment loading.

For increased automation, the DK16 can be upgraded with the "Pop-Up" Auto-Release feature, converting it into a semi-automatic heat press for faster production.
