The Roll-to-Film Attachment makes it possible to print continuously on roll media, which is ideal for decals, window graphics, canvas prints, labels, and other repeatable designs.

Once the attachment is set up correctly, it helps streamline batch production and makes better use of long-format materials.

The workflow is straightforward, but a few setup steps are important. Measuring the roll accurately, loading the film in the correct position, and selecting the right material profile in eufyMake Studio all help prevent feeding issues and improve print consistency.

This guide walks through the full process, from preparing the roll to choosing the right Roll-to-Film material for your project.

Before You Start

Before loading the film, check that the roll is tightly wound with no loose material. Then use a caliper to measure both the outer diameter and the inner diameter.

You should also clear the print bed area before installing the attachment. Finished pieces may drop or slide out during output, so keeping the area free helps prevent bending, scratching, or other damage.

Step 1: Measure the Roll While It Is Tight

Before loading the film, make sure the roll is tightly wound with no loose material. Measure the outer diameter and inner diameter with a caliper.

In eufyMake software, open the Length Calculator and select the correct material. If you are using a third party material, select the corresponding third party option.

Enter the measurements to calculate the remaining length. This helps you confirm that the roll has enough material for the job before you start printing.

Step2: Open the Attachment and Load the Roll

Keep the attachment outside the printer while loading the film.

Release the pressure rod, open the inlet cover, and place the roll onto the film roll holder in the correct direction. Then position the alignment block against the right side of the roll to keep it stable.

Pull the film through the feeding sensor and rollers, then make sure the left edge sits flat against the left side limiter. Secure the alignment block and lock the pressure rod before closing the cover.

The film should be flat and properly aligned before the attachment is installed.

Loading tip

If the film is not aligned flush with the limiter or is fed in at a slight angle, it may drift during printing. Taking a few extra seconds here can help avoid misalignment later.

Step 3: Install the Attachment

Slide the attachment into the printer compartment while keeping it upright, then secure the latch.

Before printing, check once more that the print bed and outlet area are clear.

As completed pieces exit the attachment, they need enough room to move freely without catching on the printer or stacking unevenly.

Step 4: Set Up Your Print in Studio

In eufyMake Studio, select Roll to Film as the print bed type.

If your project uses white ink, choose Flexible White Ink for roll materials. When needed, the software will guide you through the ink change process automatically.

Next, create or import your design and choose either Single Print or Batch Print. If you want each finished piece to be separated automatically, set the cutting positions while preparing the layout.

Step 5: Start the Print Job

Once printing starts, the film moves continuously through E1.

Each print begins with a section of blank film, so plan your layout accordingly. For batch production, it is more efficient to arrange multiple designs together rather than running many separate small jobs.

As the finished pieces come out, make sure they have enough space to clear the outlet. For foil projects, keep finished pieces separated instead of stacking them immediately.

The cutter can be replaced when needed by opening the cutter access area on the side of the attachment and securing the new cutter with the included hex screwdriver.

Roll-to-Film Materials

All five official rolls share the same size. Each roll is 305 mm wide, gives you a 300 mm printable width, and holds about 10 m of printable material. What changes from roll to roll is the surface, and the surface decides what the finished piece is for.

Material What it is Thickness What it does best
Canvas Coated canvas with a four-layer oil-primed finish 0.5 mm Raised 3D texture and foil stamping
Rainbow Maker Decal Vinyl Clear PET film with a prism structure 0.13 mm Throws a rainbow in sunlight
Luminous Vinyl PVC film that stores light 0.45 mm Glows for about 4 hours in the dark
Polymeric Vinyl PVC with air-release, removable gray adhesive 80 µm Lasts outdoors and removes cleanly
Ultra-Clear UV Vinyl PVC on clear adhesive with a PET liner 120 µm Prints stay transparent, for glass

Canvas

Canvas is the only roll that supports 3D texture and white foil stamping. Its four-layer oil-primed coating is 0.5 mm thick. The 3D modes are Flat Raised, Pattern Texture, Relief Texture, and Custom Texture, and they reach up to 0.5 mm high.

The coating also handles the printing side. It takes UV, DTF, and pigment work with sharp, vivid color. A UV and moisture barrier keeps that color stable indoors and in light semi-outdoor use. The material resists tearing, stretching, and curling, and it stays flexible enough to frame or stretch without cracking. It is odorless and non-toxic.

Strengths Trade-offs
Prints sharp, vivid color and takes UV, DTF, and pigment work 3D runs slowly, about 20 hours per meter, so proof a small sample first and quote time generously
Resists tearing, stretching, and curling Any mode that uses white ink needs flexible white ink, and gloss varnish is not available on a roll
UV and moisture barrier keeps color stable indoors and in light semi-outdoor use 3D texture and foil stamping only work on canvas, never on the vinyl films
Frames and stretches without cracking; odorless and non-toxic

Use canvas for wall art, framed prints, art reproductions, or any piece where you want a raised texture or a foil accent.

Rainbow Maker Decal Vinyl

Rainbow Maker Decal Vinyl is a clear PET film, 0.13 mm thick, with a prism structure built into the surface. Sunlight or strong light breaks across the film into a moving rainbow. You do not add this effect in software. The film itself produces it, so the print on top supplies your design while the film supplies the color.

The surface is free of bubbles, scratches, and residue, so it lays down smooth and reflects light evenly. The PET is odorless and non-toxic, and it sticks cleanly to glass, acrylic, and metal.

Strengths Trade-offs
A true rainbow effect with no power and no extra finishing step The adhesive is weak, so it can come loose on rough or porous surfaces
Lays down flat and reflects light evenly The rainbow shows only in strong light and fades in dull indoor lighting
Odorless, non-toxic, and sticks cleanly to glass, acrylic, and metal Best on smooth, clean surfaces

Use Rainbow Maker vinyl for window decals, sun catchers, and any piece a customer sets in a sunny window.

Luminous Vinyl

Luminous Vinyl is a PVC film, 0.45 mm thick, that stores light and releases it after the lights go out. About 10 to 20 minutes of light charges roughly four hours of glow, with no power source. The material itself glows, not the ink.

The glow holds up outdoors. It passes cold-shock and UV tests, and it keeps working outside for more than a year. The film is odorless and sticks to glass, metal, and acrylic.

Strengths Trade-offs
Glows for about 4 hours after 10 to 20 minutes of light The adhesive is strong, so it can leave residue when you remove it
Works outdoors for more than a year and passes cold-shock and UV tests The glow fades over the night as the charge runs out
Odorless, and works on glass, metal, and acrylic

Use Luminous vinyl for glow-in-the-dark stickers, children's room decor, or safety markers.

Polymeric Vinyl

Polymeric Vinyl is the durable, removable one. It is a PVC film measured at 80 µm, or about 130 µm with its adhesive. The film stays flexible and keeps its appearance outdoors for about three years without cracking, hardening, or fading. Within those years it peels off cleanly and leaves no residue or surface damage.

The adhesive is a low-tack, evenly coated layer with air-release channels. Those channels let air out as you apply the film, so bubbles do not get trapped. That makes the film easy to lay down on a vehicle panel or a door.

Strengths Trade-offs
Stays flexible and keeps its look outdoors for about three years It can come loose on rough or porous surfaces, so use it on smooth paint, glass, or panels
Peels off cleanly within those years, leaving no residue or damage
Air-release channels push bubbles out as you apply it

Use Polymeric vinyl for vehicle wraps, signage, and walls where the customer wants a durable decal they can remove later.

Ultra-Clear UV Vinyl

Ultra-Clear UV Vinyl is the transparent one. It is a PVC film measured at 120 µm, or about 140 µm with its adhesive, carried on a clear adhesive with a PET release liner. When you print it with CMYK ink, light passes through the finished piece.

The film is durable as well as clear. The PVC is strong and the adhesive grips firmly without lifting. It is certified to REACH, CP65, POPs, and TSCA standards, is odorless and non-corrosive, and stands up to heat, cold, humidity, and UV indoors and out.

Strengths Trade-offs
Prints stay transparent with CMYK, so light passes through The adhesive is strong and can leave residue when you remove it
Strong film and firm adhesive that does not lift A white-ink mode makes the piece opaque, so skip it when you want the see-through look
Certified to REACH, CP65, POPs, and TSCA; handles heat, cold, humidity, and UV

Use Ultra-Clear vinyl for storefront glass, car windows, or privacy film with a printed design.

Using Your Own Roll

You can also use a roll that is not from eufyMake. The roll must be 100 mm to 305 mm wide, 0.1 mm to 0.6 mm thick, and no more than 90 mm in outer diameter. There is no rule on core size, so you can reuse a core you already have.

Setup is the only difference. With an official roll, you select the material in eufyMake Studio and it loads the right print profile.

With a third-party roll, you select the Non-eufyMake Product tab and enter the film thickness, core diameter, and outer roll diameter yourself. 

Studio then calculates the remaining length from your numbers. Print quality changes with the material, so run a short test before you commit a full roll.

Final Thoughts

Once the Roll-to-Film Attachment is set up correctly, it becomes a practical tool for producing repeatable, high-quality work on roll media. A careful setup at the start, including measuring the roll, aligning the film, and selecting the right settings, can help prevent errors later.

Choosing the right material is just as important. Whether you need textured canvas prints, transparent window graphics, removable decals, or glow effects, the material you use will shape both the final look and the best application.
