The kind my vendor was able to get was flat (not the normal stuff). As far as I know, this stuff is usually surprisingly expensive and / or comes in large cases. You might just see if the people at your colo can give you a roll or two, or ask where they order theirs (last time I asked, they bought it by the case). I believe this is the stuff I have: http://www.edmo.com/index.php?module=products&func=display&prod_id=20352 I got it from a local outfit (Danbru - http://danbru.com - great Socal vendor) at ~ $35/roll, which seemed exorbitant to me. w
