Questions & Answers

Where can I buy or pick up the Geo. Knight DK20S Swing-Away 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.

What makes the DK20S swing-away design superior to a clamshell press?

A swing-away press rotates the hot upper platen completely clear of the lower bed, creating a perfectly open and safe layout area. Furthermore, because the heat element lowers in a perfectly straight vertical line, it applies completely uniform downward force across the entire 16" x 20" plane—preventing transfers, tiles, or plaques from sliding or shifting out of place when clamping.

Can the Digital Knight DK20S handle thick materials?

Yes! Unlike standard apparel presses that pinch at an angle, this industrial framework features an adjustable height thread mechanism that smoothly accommodates substrates up to 2" thick. This lets your shop confidently branch out into thick wood blocks, ceramic tiles, mousepads, photo slates, and thick outerwear like heavy winter jackets.

Are the lower tables on this model interchangeable?

Yes! The DK20S utilizes the All-Thread™ drop-on table design, allowing you to swap out the standard 16" x 20" lower platen for smaller accessory platens (such as pocket, sleeve, face mask, or youth tables) in seconds without using tools. The pedestal frame is uniquely elevated to give you maximum drape space underneath the loading zone for seamless garment threading.

What are the electrical requirements and physical dimensions?

The standard model operates on a standard 120V / 15A / 1800W electrical line, allowing it to run smoothly on standard utility breakers without specialized industrial 240V rewiring. The unit itself weighs 103 lbs, has a counter footprint of 32"D x 18"W, and tracks temperatures up to 600°F with ±2°F precision.

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

Built to survive decades of continuous manufacturing, this machine comes backed by an exceptional 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 DK20S Swing-Away Press?

Yes! If you are upgrading your facility, building out an automated direct-to-film system, or bundling your press with workspace accessories, commercial equipment financing options are available to keep your working capital liquid. You can apply quickly and securely via our Lawson financing page.

Boasting a massive 16" x 20" heat platen, this USA-made production workhorse is widely recognized as the industry benchmark for heavy commercial output, durability, and temperature precision.

The primary commercial advantage of the Digital Knight DK20S is its premium swing-away design.

Highly optimized for handling large batches of DTF transfers, screen printed transfers, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), sublimation blanks, and laser toner transfers, its heavy-duty solid steel frame applies pure vertical downward clamping pressure to guarantee flawless adhesion.

Equipped with an advanced digital controller capable of storing 70 programmable presets, a digital pressure bar graph display, and an adjustable base that accommodates materials up to 2" thick, this 103 lb industrial powerhouse brings uncompromising retail-ready consistency to your shop floor.
