If you have access to a print shop, they use something
(maybe someone else knows the name) in the printing
process. One side of the material looks like canvas
and the other is like rubber. The printers only use
it so many times and then they get rid of it. I use
it and I love it. It is so much better than canvas.
And it's free. I hope this was helpful. Maybe
someone else has experience as a printer and can give
you the real name for it.

The choices of suppliers of canvas would start (I think) with fabric stores,
followed by art suppliers. The range of canvas weights and compositions
available from art suppliers (they paint on it, I'm told) is wide. The
cost of such material is just what you would expect - High.
On the other hand, if you have some full figure paintings that you are tired
of, say a Velazquez court painting of a Spanish king, they could be easily
recycled to supply the needed material.

I got mine from Jo-Ann Fabrics, though it's not as heavy as artist canvas,
it was pretty inexpensive. The edges will ravel where you cut it to size,
so I ran a tight zig-zag stitch along the cut edges.

I've had a Bailey 36" slab roller, with the canvas sold along with it, in my
studio for twenty years now. Both are still going strong. The canvas is
extremely heavy duty.
Good luck,

Offset ink Blankets? The ones at the print shop where my wife works at are
green on the ink side and canvas on the other - Cool idea!!!!
