Why Shops Choose the DK8
Tall Pedestal Isolates the Print
The tall pedestal lets you press just the spot you need — inside neck labels, left-chest logos, pockets, sleeves, collars and socks — without flattening the rest of the garment.
Interchangeable Tables to 3″×3″
Includes 6″×8″, 3″×5″ and 3″×3″ tables so you can dial the pressing area down to exactly the zone you need.
Digital Control That Repeats
Fully digital temperature (32–600°F), automatic timer, 70 programmable presets, cycle counter and end-of-cycle alarms keep label and transfer work consistent (±2°F).
Gas-Spring Auto Lift
Solid welded-steel frame with a Teflon-coated ¾″ platen and smooth gas-spring lift for easy, fast operation on repetitive label runs.
