Geo Knight DK8T Digital Knight 6" x 8" Twin Label Press - DK8T
The DK8T 6" x 8" is a twin label press with a high productivity design. The head pivots back and forth between the two pedestals effortlessly. While one side is pressing, the user is able to set up work on the other pedestal and maximize efficiency.
This machine is very 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 DK8T 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.
