Features
The Digital Knight DK16 is a business-grade, heavy-duty mid-sized clamshell heat press that opens for full access to the 14x16 lower bottom table. Designed for environments with space limitations, this press offers better access than traditional clamshells with its unique back-opening design that raises the heat platen above and away from the bottom table, allowing operators to slide shirts over the table with complete drape space.
