Description

Are you looking to expand your custom printing business far beyond standard apparel items without purchasing multiple single-purpose machines? The Geo. Knight DC16 Digital Combo Heat Press (14" x 16") is the ultimate multi-functional machinery solution engineered by Geo. Knight & Co. Built around a standard 14" x 16" heat platen and elevated pedestal table, this USA-made marvel is renowned for its instant, tool-free interchangeability—allowing your shop to transition from pressing t-shirts to decorating coffee mugs, caps, or plates in under a minute.

The core production advantage of the Digital Combo DC16 lies in its heavy-duty swing-away design and massive clearance range. Constructed with a solid steel welded framework, this machine easily accommodates materials up to 2" thick, making it perfect for printing bulky wood plaques, ceramic tiles, glass, mousepads, and heavy hoodies that standard flat presses crush. It features state-of-the-art SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater technology within a 3/4" thick Teflon-coated platen, guaranteeing absolute edge-to-edge heat uniformity. Highly optimized for handling Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers, sublimation blanks, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, and laser toner transfers, it integrates a raised pedestal table layout that offers maximum drape space for easy garment loading.

Equipped with a brilliant, backlit digital controller capable of storing 70 programmable presets, a digital pressure bar graph, and dual pre-press timers, this 120V powerhouse gives your shop total retail-ready quality control over every substrate imaginable.
