I've actually been thinking the same thing. After your post I Googled "wholesale stretched canvases" and quite a few local places showed up. I'm going to start checking some out next week, no time this weekend with all the last minute stuff for the L.A. Marathon.

I watch ASW for the best sales on their EDGE canvases. Sometimes they are 80% off. Dick Blick is also a good one. Get on their email lists and you get their best sales. ASW (art supply warehouse-express) seems to have the best ones but they only last sometimes 3 days so do get on their list. I will try and remember to send you the email the next time I get a good sale one canvas.

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
