Geo Knight DK20A Auto-Release Clamshell Heat Press
Semi-automatic convenience, no compressor required. The DK20A is Geo Knight's auto-release "Pop-Up" version of its largest clamshell — close it like a manual press, and it opens automatically at the end of the timing cycle to prevent scorching. It even includes a hover feature for curing. The platen raises up and away for full front- or rear-loading access, all in a portable 103 lb package.
