The DK3 Digital Mug Press is a specialty press in the Digital Knight line of presses; exclusively for pressing mugs. This press is a full wrap-around, handle-to-handle, top-to-bottom printing mug press. It can press images up to 5" high, and as close as 1/2" from the handle, depending on the mug size.

The DK3 is fully adjustable, accommodating all mugs available on the market. This includes 11 oz, 15 oz, 16 oz mugs, steins, and stainless steel travel mugs. The ability of the press to open extra wide allows for easy and fast loading and unloading of mugs from the press. The thick, solid steel framework and die-cast clamp assembly provide a heavy-duty framework for non-stop use. The clamp assembly can be adjusted for very heavy pressure, allowing for full bleed transfers on even the most demanding mugs. Finally - a mug press that compensates for less than perfectly straight mugs!

As with all Digital Knight presses, the DK3 utilizes a state-of-the-art digital control system with an unprecedented 3-year warranty on the heat-control electronics. With digital temperature, time, and programmable resets, cycle county, and may other features, the consistency and productivity of mug printing is maximized.

At the heart of the DK3 is the 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. The DK3 will start up in only a few minutes and runs constantly at the set temperature. The DK3 boasts an amazing 3-Year/3,000 mug warranty. The patented stainless steel mug band heater technology Geo Knight is famous for has proven to be far more reliable in the field than traditional methods.

This mug press is compatible with sublimation inks.
