Success Starts with the Right Press

Success Starts with the Right Press

Let’s be real, some jobs don’t fit in a standard press. Oversized designs, thicker blanks, or full-bleed sublimation work? That’s where the DK25SP comes in. This industrial heat press machine is designed to take on the jobs your smaller setups just can’t handle, all without asking you to lift a finger more than once.

With a 20" x 25" swing-away platen, this press gives you room to breathe. The push-button, air-operated mechanism does the hard part for you, closing with up to 3,000 lbs of pressure and releasing automatically at the end of the cycle. That means zero shoulder strain, more consistent results, and a rhythm you can count on (especially when the orders start stacking)!

But don’t think it’s just about size. The SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater embedded throughout the platen ensures fast recovery and even heat from edge to edge. It handles fabrics, wood, metal, and other thick substrates up to 2 inches like it’s nothing. The pressure gauge and digital readout let you dial it all in precisely without any guesswork.

And yes, it comes with a heavy-duty stand and lockable casters, so you can move it when needed but lock it down when it’s go time. Whether you’re scaling up from a manual heat press or adding to an expanding production floor, the DK25SP moves beyond just a press and into your new production partner!

Frequently Asked Questions

The timer does not start when I close the heat platen, or the timer does not reset when I open the press up.
  • There are several probable causes for this. The timer is activated by a micro-tilt sensor stuck to the pressure arm.
  • First: When the head of the machine is opened, the tilt sensor needs to be tilted slightly upward to signal the controller to stop/reset. When the head of the machine is closed, the timer sensor needs to be tilted downward (towards the floor) to signal the controller to start counting.
  • Second: Check the wire connection from the tilt sensor into the control panel. The timer and pressure signals go to a small black 6-pin connector on the top of the circuit board in the control box. Check to make sure this is firmly seated and plugged into the board.
The control displays “Err” when it first comes on, and I cannot set the temperature or use the press.

The “Err” message will display if the heating signal from the platen has been cut off, interrupted, or the heating sensor has failed.

First, check the lime green temperature connector that plugs into the digital control. At the top of the controller, there is a green connector that plugs in with two small wires. This is the temperature sensor wire. Check to make sure it is properly seated.

If, after unplugging and plugging the lime green connector, the “Err” message still appears, unplug the green connector and remove the two tiny wires from the lime green plug. Cut them back 1/4”, strip them so they have new connections, and reconnect them to the lime green plug so they are screwed in tightly and cannot pull out. Plug the green plug back in and turn the press on.

I press the keys on the keypad, and there is no sound or response from the controller.

Check the connection of the keypad to the controller. This is inside the top panel.

  1. Unplug the power cord.
  2. Remove the two screws in between the clamp/linkage that hold down the top panel.
  3. Carefully lift the panel up and look inside at the digital controller.

The keypad connector passes in through the top panel. It should wind around the first circuit board and be seated fully into the connector. Check the black keypad connector that plugs into the circuit board to see if it has pulled apart. Also check the area where the keypad connects to the front membrane to see if the leads have been damaged. The membrane keypad may need to be replaced.

The gas springs are not lifting the head as easily as when the press was new, or the gas springs have lost their pressure.

After a large volume of use over an extended period of many pressing cycles, the gas springs will slowly lose their original force.

These hydraulic lifter springs are extremely easy to replace, and are surprisingly similar in cost—or even lower—than conventional mechanical springs. Contact the factory for replacement gas springs if the machine is no longer able to keep the platen open. Note: The gas springs must have the silver rod face down, and the black tube face up.

The press has shut off and will not come back on after checking the power cord.

Test for power coming from the back side of the power cord inlet socket. Then, test for power coming from the back side of the on/off switch. Finally, test for power coming to the end of the black and white wires that run from the on/off switch into the control board.

This will help narrow down which power-handling component needs replacement. The RPK-DKPWR is a common replacement kit that includes all these components.

I pressed a transfer upside down. The inks and transfer material have burned onto the heat platen.

Cool the press down. Using a non-abrasive detergent or cleaner, thoroughly scrub the heat platen surface.

Do not use an abrasive scrubber or a pad that will scratch the Teflon coating of the platen. If you're still unable to remove the transfer material, obtain Teflon heater block cleaner from the factory.
