In the March 2006 Recogntion Pro ( Formerly Graphics Pro) on page 20 is an article about heat presses. I did not read this until AFTER I purchased my press but it may have influenced my decision had I read it before.
In the article is a review of a new press from iDEK USA.

Their press the d2 also has a shuttle, but in this design the "head" moves not the table.

Coast Graphic Supply had an Idek on display at the ARA show. Various attachments turn the press into a hat press and an easy way to press pockets and sleeves of shirts.
Slick indeed.

I'm sorry I didn't see that.

Yes, it's another session of "Peephole's Court" catering to the voyeur in each of us. :-)

I have no idea how many presses, of the previous build, are in circulation, but be aware of the differences between the two.
If you own (or buy) one of the previous builds, especially if you have employees, I'd suggest taking it upon yourself to not only make specific mention of the fact that it's necessary to operate the press with hands at the "outside" reaches of the foam grips, but to use some form of safety labeling as a reminder.

Steve,
Your assumptions are correct. It was the first thing I did, after posting to the "Watch Your Fingers" thread.
Here's a copy:
Hi Aaron,
I visited Coast Graphic Supply today and saw a fresh-out-of-the-box DK20S.
To my delight, I see the adjustment to the handlebar was made and now ample clearance between the handlebar and upper housing exists.
I commend you for being a man of your word and for taking this issue seriously. Honesty, integrity and business ethics are important to me. I'm happy to see you're a proponent of the same.
I don't know if you remember our brief meeting at the NBM show in Long Beach, two or three years ago. I was in the hotel, next to the Convention Center, when I noticed Paul Whitehill, (no doubt, our mutual friend) yourself and another person walk in.
We were introduced, but didn't really talk to one another.
If you don't remember that occasion, I'll make a point of introducing myself, next time you're exhibiting at a show that I attend.
I occasionally find myself as a presenter, at industry events, and I've highlighted your products in the past. I'll continue to do so, if the occasion arises again.
All the best,
David

I always knew you were a true gentleman! A PITA to some vendors at times, but a true gentleman! :-)

Steve,
I would just as soon lead a totally peaceful existence. The knock-down, drag-out threads take an emotional toll on me.
I hope it's a long time before we experience another.
