Default BIG Transparencies?

thanks

silkscreeningsupplies.com
they have 13 x 19
also can get 13 inch rolls.
get the water proof ones..very nice dry to the touch as soon as its out of the printer

Where are you based? it might make a difference.
Do you want a source of finished positives or to be able to produce your own?

I use these, 13x18 and they work great, and they are reasonably priced.

The money you spend on sourcing those out, you might want to think about doing your own output. $300 for an Epson 1400 and you can go 13" wide.

Depending on how detialed your artwork is you can always tape the film together. That's what I do.

Tiling films may work ok for 1 color, but not very easy to register I'm sure.
