Description
Digital Combo 6×8 Air Automatic DC8AP
Digital Combo 6×8 Air Automatic DC8AP is engineered for precision heat pressing in small-format production environments. Designed as the automatic counterpart to the manual DC8, this press uses air-powered operation to apply consistent pressure with minimal effort. Its compact 6 x 8 platen size makes it ideal for labels, embroidered patches, appliques, and detailed garment areas where a larger press would be inefficient.
Built on the same platform as the larger DC16AP, the DC8AP delivers industrial reliability in a space-saving footprint. Optional interchangeable platens and tables expand application flexibility, while swing-away motion provides clear access to the pressing surface for accurate placement.
Why Choose the Digital Combo 6×8 Air Automatic DC8AP
The DC8AP is designed for shops that need repeatable results and reduced operator strain when handling small-format heat applications. Pneumatic pressing ensures consistent pressure every cycle, making it especially effective for tagless labels and embroidered patches. Push-button activation and automatic operation allow operators to maintain steady production without manual clamping effort.
Built for Small-Format Precision
With a swing-away design and compact platen size, the DC8AP isolates pressing to only the area needed. Optional bottom heat configurations support thicker patches and appliques, while interchangeable platens allow the press to adapt to evolving production needs. Identical to the DC16AP automatic larger sized combo press, this press is ideally suited for label printing, applying “tagless” labels to garments, embroidered patches, and any small pressing area where a large heat platen is not appropriate.
Shown below are optional configurations of the DC8AP. This press functions well with bottom heat for pressing thicker embroidered patches/appliques and other products needing heat from the back side of the material. Also shown is the press in a cap configuration – the DC7AP. There are many other possibilities with the Digital Combo manual or air operated press machines.
