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.

Key Features

  • Auto-release "Pop-Up" — opens automatically at cycle end; semi-auto feel without a compressor.
  • Hover feature — rest the platen above the work for curing.
  • Full-access clamshell — platen raises up and away for front/rear loading.
  • Digital control (32°–600°F) — 70 presets, dual pre-press timer.
  • Portable & USA-made — 103 lbs, steel framework, lifetime platen warranty.
