Digital Knight DK20A Auto Clamshell Heat Press – 16" x 20" Semi-Automatic Press

The Digital Knight DK20A 16" x 20" Auto Clamshell Heat Press is a high-performance, semi-automatic heat press designed for efficiency, durability, and precision. Combining the power of a manual clamshell press with an auto-release "Pop-Up" mechanism, this press streamlines operations by automatically opening at the end of the timing cycle, reducing operator fatigue and maximizing productivity.

Featuring a unique Hover capability, the DK20A allows for curing processes without direct contact, making it ideal for specialty applications like pre-curing direct-to-garment (DTG) prints. The wide-opening clamshell design provides unmatched accessibility, while the interchangeable bottom tables offer versatility for different substrate sizes.
