Questions & Answers

Where can I buy or pick up the Geo. Knight DK14S Heat Press locally?
You can order online and select convenient local pickup at either the Lawson Screen & Digital Products headquarters in St. Louis, MO, or our Atlanta branch in Marietta, GA. Local pickup can also be coordinated through our satellite support centers in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.

Is the Geo. Knight DK14S good for mobile events and pop-up shops?
Yes! Weighing only 62 lbs and operating on a standard 120V electrical outlet, the DK14S is widely regarded as the best commercial-grade portable heat press for live printing events, trade shows, and mobile pop-up setups.

What is the benefit of a swing-away heat press over a clamshell?
A swing-away design allows the hot upper platen to rotate 180 degrees away from the lower bed. This gives you complete, heat-free access to layout graphics safely without placing your hands underneath a hot heating element.

Can I press thick materials like wood plaques or ceramic tiles on the DK14S?
Yes! The DK14S features an adjustable height mechanism that accommodates substrates up to 2" thick, making it ideal for pressing heavy outerwear, wooden signs, ceramic tiles, and thick canvas bags.

What types of transfers can be applied with this press?
The DK14S handles all standard commercial transfer types, including Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers, sublimation prints, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, white toner transfers, and embroidered emblems.

Description

Looking for a commercial-grade, ultra-reliable heat press that fits perfectly into a home studio, small craft space, or mobile pop-up shop? The Geo. Knight DK14S Digital Heat Transfer Swing-Away (12" x 14") is an industrial-strength, small-format machine engineered by Geo. Knight & Co. to deliver heavy-duty results in a highly compact footprint. Featuring a space-efficient 12" x 14" heat platen and weighing just 62 lbs, this USA-made powerhouse is widely recognized as the industry's lowest-cost, most portable professional digital swing-away press.

Despite its compact size, the Digital Knight DK14S cuts zero corners on performance. It is built with the exact same advanced SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater technology used in massive commercial shop presses, featuring a 3/4" thick Teflon-coated platen backed by a lifetime warranty. This ensures perfectly even, edge-to-edge heat distribution with zero cold spots. Highly optimized for applying Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers, sublimation prints, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, and embroidered patches, its premium swing-away design rotates the upper platen completely clear of the workspace. This gives you a safer, heat-free environment to align graphics without risking accidental hand burns.

Constructed with a heavy-duty solid steel framework and capable of generating extreme downward pressure, it accommodates items up to 2" thick—allowing you to confidently decorate anything from thin t-shirts to thick wood plaques, ceramic tiles, and heavy hoodies.
