Geo Knight DK8 Digital Knight 6" x 8" Label Press - DK8
The DK8 6" x 8" is a small platen label press popular for label printing and small transfer & applique sealing.
If your image area is less than 8 inches and you need to specifically isolate an area of a garment or bag, the tall pedestal on the DK8 allows for precise locations of just the area needed to be pressed. Pockets, collars, socks, sleeves, and similar areas are easy to press without flattening parts of the garment that should not be pressed. This saves the user from pressing very large areas of bulky items unnecessarily, as would happen on a standard T-shirt press. The included interchangeable tables allow for isolation of the pressing area down to a mere 3" x 3" inches.
