Gallery 614 sells rolls of commercially made tissue for around $300 per
roll. You can contact them at:

What they have is a stock of tissue originally made by a german company
which as I understand it is no longer in business, or at least no longer
making the tissue. They are sold out of brown and black monochrome
tissue. All that is left are something like green, blue, rust red, and
tricolor tissue. I think they have looked into making tissue
commercially, but the equipment for coating large batches of paper is
expensive. I would also guess that the market isn't that big either.
