Questions & Answers

Where can I buy or pick up the Geo. Knight DC16AP Automatic Combo Press locally?

You can securely order online and choose convenient local pickup at either the Lawson Screen & Digital Products corporate headquarters in St. Louis, MO (Penrose Street) or our Atlanta area branch in Marietta, GA (Cobb Industrial Drive). Local pickup can also be coordinated through our satellite offices in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.

Does the DC16AP require an external air compressor?

Yes. Because it is a fully pneumatic commercial press, it requires a separate air compressor to operate. The minimum compressor specifications required to run the machine smoothly are a 5-gallon tank, 0.5 cfm airflow, 100 psi, and a 1/4-inch supply line.

What interchangeable quick-change attachments work with this automatic press?

The DC16AP shares the same legendary modular platform as the manual DC16. You can expand your business by purchasing separate, toolless drop-on attachments, including:

  • DC-Air Cap Attachment: Features a curved heater block and specialized cap stretching device.
  • DC-Mug Attachment: A full-wrap thermal band built specifically for 11oz and 15oz coffee mugs.
  • DC-Plate Attachment: Circular heating element configurations for decorating ceramic plates.
  • Specialty Tables: Including sleeve tables, pocket forms, koozie plates, and shoe drop-on tables.

What are the technical electrical and physical specifications?

The standard configuration runs on a common 120V / 12A / 1500W electrical pull, making it compatible with standard facility outlets. The machine itself weighs 135 lbs, has an ultra-compact counter footprint of 15"D x 11"W, and features a highly precise digital temperature controller with a range of 32°F to 600°F (accurate within ±2°F).

What type of warranty protection comes with the Digital Knight automatic line?

Built to survive decades of rugged, high-volume production, the DC16AP is backed by Geo. Knight's premier commercial warranty tier:

  • Lifetime Warranty on the SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heat platen.
  • 5-Year Warranty on the heavy-duty welded solid steel frame.
  • 3-Year Warranty on the digital control circuitry.
  • 1-Year Warranty on all parts, alongside FREE Lifetime Technical Support through the manufacturer.

Can I finance the Geo. Knight DC16AP Automatic Press?

Yes! If you are launching a new startup, building out an automated direct-to-film system, or bundling your automatic press with specialty attachments, commercial equipment financing options are available to keep your working capital liquid. You can apply quickly and securely via our Lawson financing page.
