The Digital Knight clamshell heat presses feature a state-of-the-art control system and heavy-duty solid steel welded framework. These machines boasts a lifetime warranty on the heat platen, and an unprecedented 3-year warranty on the heat-control electronics.
The Digital Combo is a multipurpose swing-away heat press. Available in two sizes, 12”x14” or 14”x16”, this fully digital swing-away press boasts all of the digital features of the digital swinger. This includes Digital Temperature, Time, and a Digital Pressure/ Height gauge, as well as programmable presets, user definable alarms and a host of other digital features.

The DK20S combines a heavy-duty solid steel, industrial grade, pressing framework with accurate and easy to use electronics to provide the operator with the best possible features and equipment needed for today’s various heat transfer applications.
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. Utilizing a state-of-the-art control system and heavy-duty solid steel welded framework, this machine boasts a lifetime warranty (of your ownership) on the heat platen, and an unprecedented 3-year warranty on the heat-control electronics.
The heat platen uses SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater technology, a system of embedded heater windings that wind tightly and closely together throughout the entire platen for extremely even heat, fast recovery and fast heat up times.
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.


Worldwide, literally thousands of screen printers, trophy companies, heat transfer applicators, airbrush artists, sublimators and many others, happily use one of these presses everyday. If you ever hear of someone complaining about his or her new clamshell heat press, it probably isn't a HIX!
3 great features of these presses are First, is the scientifically engineered handle and closing mechanism. The offset handle produces a mechanical advantage, which can provide 20% more pressure than a "straight" handle design, when needed, while still allowing the press to be easily closed.
Second, is the ingeniously designed "tilting" lower platen. When a clamshell (meaning it opens and closes straight up and down) heating head comes down, the back end lightly touches the item on the lower platen first. On the HT-400 and HT-600 presses, a unique spring-loaded feature in the lower platen allows the bottom to tilt towards the upper head, to keep even and consistent pressure during the heating process, as the two platen's lock together.
Third, is the ability of the heater head (the upper platen) to be raised up, to accommodate items up to one inch thick on the HT-400D and up to one-half inch thick on the HT-600. Convention clamshell heat presses have a very difficult time evenly pressing anything much thicker than a heavy jacket or thick tote bag. In addition, some garments are so thick that too much pressure is developed, unless you can raise the heater block, which decreases pressure.
Without sacrificing heating quality, reliability or durability, the Presto series of flatbed presses have been stripped-down to provide lighter and cheaper entry-level presses where weight or budget is very important.
To keep the price low: Neither of the Presto presses have any type of timer (but one can be bought for less than $10 in many stores). The heating heads cannot be adjusted on the presses to accept thick items. Only the Presto 20 has a "floating" lower platen. The Presto 15 has a rigid bottom platen.

The fast-heating head, strong support base, simple operation and "tuck it under your arm" portability of the B-250D cap press makes it ideal for high volume or occasional users, as well as mobile retail users. Plug it in, turn it on, and in minutes you are ready.
The B-250D has a lifetime warranty on the heater element, one year warranty on the other components and is US and Canada ETL
With increased customer interest in customized full-color sublimated mugs, photograph mugs and personalized mugs, there are many opportunities in this profitable niche market.
The rapidly heating HIX CW550 has been designed to efficiently put "full-wrap" inkjet sublimation and special color laser copier transfers onto ceramic mugs. Note - A glazer is also suggested for color laser
