Abstract: In a film printing method for printing a print design on a substrate areas of a surface of a substrate to be provided with a print design is coated in a first step with an adhesive layer. The transfer film for the printing method includes a support film having a separating layer connected thereto and a transfer layer connected to the separating layer. At a first pressure the transfer film with the transfer layer facing the adhesive layer is printed onto the substrate so that the transfer layer adheres to the adhesive layer of the substrate. The support film together with the separating layer is removed from the transfer layer adhering to the substrate. In a final step, the transfer layer adhering to the adhesive layer on the substrate is subjected to a second pressure that is substantially greater than the first pressure.
