I have an embroidery business and want to add a heat press machine for t-shirts, sweatshirts and childrens apparel. What size should I get? What is a sublimation digital press?
Has anyone heard of the George Knight DK20 Digital Clamshell Heat Press?

Thanks!

Pass on the sublimation press sounds like a eBay item.....but the Geo Knight DK20 is a excellent choice, great press, very dependable.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! It is new. The other one I am looking at is the Stahls Hotronix Heat Press Auto Open 16 x 16 STX16 but it is used.

The Hotronix press is also a very good press, at 16x16 it's a good size but a 16x20 would be better for doing larger designs on 2x and up shirts.

Hope this helps.

The Geo Knight i a very good machine. If the Stahls press is in good shape you might be able to save some money. They make a very dependable machine also.
