The Digital Knight DK20 Clamshell Heat Press is a 16" x 20" high-pressure heat press designed for precision, ease of use, and durability. Featuring a wide-opening design, this press allows for full access to the lower platen, making loading garments easier and more efficient. Unlike traditional clamshell presses, the DK20 raises the back of the heat platen away from the lower table, providing better accessibility and maneuverability.
This press is ideal for shops with space limitations, offering portability and mobility without sacrificing performance. Additionally, the DK20 can be upgraded with a Pop-Up automatic release feature for semi-automatic operation, or a twin station upgrade to create a high-efficiency production setup.
