A method of transfering from dye from a dye imbibed matrix film and a receiver film for producing a dye transfer print of a motion picture print including the steps of seating a dye imbibed matrix film and a receiver film on a pin belt, driving the pin belt at a predetermined speed along an orbital path, engaging sprocket holes on the matrix and receiver films with precisely spaced pins on the pin belts, stripping the two-film sandwich from the pin belt prior to completion of dye transfer, completing dye transfer from the matrix film to the receiver film in a transfer cabinet and maintaining the two-film sandwich in precise registration during the step of completing dye transfer.
