Brodak and Tower Hobbies both list silkspan.  I'm sure there are more.

There is silkspan and there is silkspan.  Some of it looks like tissue wrapping paper.  I would not buy silkspan without looking at it first.  Well, I probably would trust Campbell's Custom Kits to sell me the right stuff.

HobbyCraft, which I think is a US company sells 100% Chinese silk at very low prices! I've used Chinese silk with no problems at, it only shrinks once though, so you can't dye it.

Sorry but I do not think the silk will work in my printer.
