A
16"x 20" heat press is considered to be a large press and is as big
as the average owner will ever need. Those dealing with oversized heat transfers
and those printing 13x19 sublimation transfers find the DK20S very effective.
However, even larger and more powerful heat presses are available for more effective
specialized needs.. A fast heat recovery time is very beneficial when transferring to thick items like plaques or very cold items, like ceramic tiles. Not only does this provide more even heating but also it takes less heating time. The
effective working area of this press is 15x19, because you should always keep
your work at least one-half inch from the outer edges of the press. The controller utilizes an easy to read oversized-digit LCD display to show time and temperature simultaneously, and the temperature readout is accurate within +-2°. The controller also features a digital height/pressure gauge for displaying current height settings. The operator can use the 70 programmable presets for saving common application settings of Temp/Time/Pressure, ensuring consistent, repeatable results for all applications. The press is adjustable to accommodate materials from fabric thickness all the way up to 1” thick substrates! At 185 lbs. (84 Kilos) and with a footprint of about 18"x 32", the DK20S is a big, heavy press. Because of this, many prefer the ability to easily move the press around in their work area.
Store the press in a convenient corner and then easily roll it to your workstation or multiple workstations. Many,
for example, prefer to have separate workstations for ceramic tiles (because of
dust) and garments (because of lint). The Manufacturers Features and Benefits Overview |

Our Overview
Over the years, the DK20S has received reviews, in many national trade magazines, as an outstanding heat press. This is our view also.
Not only is the press powerful and efficient, its size allows transferring very large single images or images on multiple, smaller substrates. There is not anything that we know of, that will fit on the press, that it won't do.
The DK20S works with anything from a 1" charm to an oversized 13"x19" heat transfer. If also effortlessly imprints up to 3 license plates at a time, or 6 - 6"x 6" or 9 - 4"x 4" tiles or, with jigs, dozens of key chain holders, etc.
Large "swing-away" heat presses cost more than their simpler "clamshell" counterparts, but if your budget allows it, this is a great press! Later on, add a DK3 mug press and a DK7 cap press and you are ready for any opportunity.
