Questions & Answers

Where can I buy or arrange local pickup for the Geo. Knight DK32AP Press?
You can order online and arrange local pickup at either the Lawson Screen & Digital Products headquarters in St. Louis, MO, or our Atlanta branch in Marietta, GA. Pickup coordination can also be arranged through satellite support centers in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.

Does the Geo. Knight DK32AP require an air compressor?
Yes. To deliver its automatic clamping action and up to 6,000 lbs of pressing force, the DK32AP requires an external air compressor line.

What is the benefit of the front pull-out drawer system?
The drawer mechanism allows you to pull the lower bed entirely out from under the upper heat platen. This gives operators a completely safe, heat-free workspace to line up oversized graphics, cut pieces, or sensitive substrates without risking hand burns.

What types of applications are best suited for a 26" x 32" press?
The DK32AP is optimized for 24"-wide print output matching, large-format Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers, full cut-and-sew dye sublimation jerseys, towels, flags, oversized metal photo panels, and wooden signs.

What electrical connections are needed for this machine?
Due to the large heating surface area and commercial pneumatic systems, the DK32AP requires a 208V–240V single-phase electrical supply drawing approximately 30 amps.

Description

Are you looking to bridge the production gap between standard t-shirt platens and massive industrial-sized machinery without blowing your budget? The Geo. Knight DK32AP 26" x 32" Automatic Large Format Press is a heavy-duty, pneumatic powerhouse engineered by Geo. Knight & Co. It is the ultimate commercial printing solution built to match 24"-width printer outputs perfectly, making it an incredible choice for sublimation cut-pieces, oversized direct-to-film (DTF) graphics, sports jerseys, and high-end signage blanks.

The key commercial advantage of the Digital Knight DK32AP lies in its high-pressure, space-saving design. Operating via a smooth, drawer-style front-loading layout, the lower table glides out completely from beneath the heating zone, allowing operators to safely organize and layer transfers without working under intense heat. When activated by the dual-button safety circuit, its top-down pneumatic drive applies up to an unshakeable 6,000 lbs of maximum applied force. Utilizing patented SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater technology inside an ultra-thick, Teflon-coated assembly, it ensures absolute edge-to-edge temperature uniformity with zero cold spots.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art microprocessor storing 70 programmable presets, digital pressure monitoring, and an adjustable height capacity that handles substrates up to 1" thick, this heavy-duty workhorse delivers total commercial reliability for your shop's largest print jobs.
