This amazing high-tech feature makes your Digital Knight clamshell act like a semi-automatic, air operated press, without the compressor!

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 swing away presses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeature\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFully digital temperature control (32°-600°F range)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAutomatic digital timer \u0026amp; dual pre-press timer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDigital pressure bar graph\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuper-portable light machine weight--83 lbs!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExtreme high pressure capability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardened High-strength pivot points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInterchangeable tables\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSolid steel framework\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater technology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSelf lifting gas-spring \u0026amp; wide opening\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperature readout accuracy of ±2°F -- Can show °C or °F\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUser selectable end-of-cycle alarms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecords number of pressing cycles done\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNon-stick-coated 3\/4\" thick heat platen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLifetime warranty on heat platen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3-year warranty on the control panel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1-year warranty on entire press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\n.tg  {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;}\n.tg td{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;\n  overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}\n.tg th{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;\n  font-weight:normal;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}\n.tg .tg-ij4v{background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;vertical-align:top}\n.tg .tg-14gg{background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;text-align:left;vertical-align:top}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tg\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"tg-ij4v\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"tg-14gg\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e83 \u003c\/span\u003eLbs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-ij4v\"\u003eElectrical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-14gg\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1500W \/ 12A \/ 110V\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-ij4v\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tg-14gg\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e32\"L x 17\"W x 16\"H\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eVideo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-videoid=\"H5I4hHnbICg\" class=\"js-video video-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-frame\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"NexStar SE\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-2574542_66=\"true\" id=\"347748430\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-4=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H5I4hHnbICg\" height=\"169\" width=\"300\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat Our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGeo Knight DK16A Digital Knight 14\" x 16\" Clam Auto-Open Heat Press (DK16A)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a compact and efficient solution for professional heat transfer projects.
