Digital Knight 16x20 AUTO Clamshell
The DK20A is the AUTO-RELEASE "Pop-Up" version of our largest manual clamshell. This amazing high-tech feature makes your Digital Knight clamshell act like a semi-automatic, air operated press, without the compressor! Simply close the press as you normally do, and at the end of the digital timing cycle the press releases automatically.
The Auto-Release upgrade also features the "HOVER" feature. This means when the handle is lowered without fully clamping the machine, the press will hover over the work, usually needed for curing purposes. At the end of the time cycle the press releases automatically as usual.
The DK20A 16x20 clamshell press opens for full access to the lower bottom table. It is important to note that the back of the heat platen raises above and away from the bottom table, providing better access than other clamshell presses. The frame support allows operators to slide shirts over the table with complete drape space around and underneath the loading area. Interchangeable bottom tables for smaller pressing areas are available. This press is ideal for environments with space limitations, and for users who need more portability and mobility than the over-weight swingaway presses.

GPI has the most helpful and responsive customer tech support team I have spoken to! Bought a DTF printer from them a few years back and any issue I have come across was handled swiftly by their team allowing me to get back up and running before an order is due. They always responded and was never left hanging. True lifesavers!!
