Geo Knight DC8 Swing Away Heat Press Machine Built on a Solid Steel Frame
The upper platen swings away from the bottom table, so you get open, heat free access while you lay out a label or line up a patch. No reaching under a hot surface, no guessing.
- Solid steel welded framework holds steady through long runs.
- Accommodates materials up to 1" thick, so thicker patches and layered pieces still fit.
- A heavier duty swing away version of the DK8 clamshell.
- Shares all the interchangeability and design of the larger DC16 manual combo press, in a smaller format.
Need even more output? The DC8AP automatic press is the higher production version of this design.
Exact Heat and Timing From the Geo Knight DC8 Digital Combo Heat Press Machine
Small transfers leave little room for error. The digital controller gives you tight command over every press.
- Purple Digital Combo controller with a blue LCD screen and four buttons, set beside the black pressure adjustment knob and handle linkage.
- Fully digital temperature control across a 32°-600°F range.
- Temperature readout accuracy of +-2°F, shown in °C or °F.
- Automatic digital timer and dual prepress timer for consistent dwell times.
- Digital Pressure Bar Graph so you see your pressure instead of guessing.
- 70 programmable presets to recall settings for each label or patch type.
- Records the number of pressing cycles done, handy for tracking jobs.
Heat comes from SuperCoil Microwinding™ heater technology, built into the platen for even results.
Small Jobs Fit Perfectly on the Geo Knight DC8 6x8 Heat Press Machine
A large platen is the wrong tool for a neck label. The 6" x 8" heat platen and bottom table are sized for the jobs this press was made for:
- Label printing
- Applying "tagless" labels to garments
- Embroidered patches
- Any small pressing area where a large heat platen is not appropriate
The platen is 3/4" thick and Teflon coated, so it holds heat well and releases cleanly from your transfers.
