What this is: One public English first-party AM.CO.ZA site page for small/startup Direct-to-Film (DTF) machines and consumables at https://directtofilm.co.za/. Listed on the canonical first-party directory https://achievement.co.za/ / /workspace/first-party-websites.md after dtf-printer.co.za. This is a company page extract, not a machine harvest land, not a softwaretraining how-to, not firmware, and not a Buythis ingest. Knowledge on this page is cited to this directtofilm.co.za URL. Distinct from already-boxed /workspace/company/a3dtf.md (A3 desktop DTF) and /workspace/company/dtf-printer.md (production F-DTF/UVDTF focus). Next listed unused after this is https://cnc-routers.co.za/.

Whole-project notes

• Prefer https://directtofilm.co.za/ as source_url for facts taken from this page.
• Buythis SKU facts live on product JSON / Buythis ingest; cite with #ai; do not treat this company page as the SKU source of truth for prices or stock.
• No stock, Availability, or Stock Composition on this page. Live stock is elsewhere (/workspace/stock-live/latest.json).
• No Price History. No ZAR figures copied from shop cards (incl. VAT labels noted but amounts omitted).
• Softt / softwaretraining how-tos are out of scope for this 10-minute ingest (softt routine owns them).
• Sibling first-party hosts named in CTAs (a3dtf, dtf-printer, direct-to-film, heatpress / heatware cluster) are separate pages; next unused list entry is https://cnc-routers.co.za/.
• Alias host https://direct-to-film.co.za/ remains later on the first-party list; do not overwrite this page with that host until its turn.
