I guess you’re planning to spend some serious dough. Latex printers start around $20,000 for a 42".
You might want to talk to this guy about what you’re trying to attempt. According to the article, he’s in your town.

i deciding to not use laytex, my printer is around 6k and does 44" im at the moment trying to find rice paper in rolls 30" plus wide and the type of fabrics that work well as well. I have seen his art verry nice love his work. im looking at china atm still searchin 
really still could use advice on fabrics for epoxy as it will be for paddle boards. ty for any and all advice
I have a 44" HP wide format printer.
I use rice paper from JAPAN. The quality is the best I’ve found. The rolls are 36" and there is about 100 feet per roll. Just find a Japaneese paper supplier were you live. We have lots of them in LA and SF here on the West Coast.
You want the paper to be transparent after Lamination and not discolor. Make sure you find a thickness that works with your printer. Too thin and you will have a hard time to feed it to the printer feed.
For cloth you can use a Hybrd 1 oz cloth that works real nice. Use it under a heavier cloth to protect your artwork against sand throughs.
Good luck!
Kind regards,

If you like to experiment, Ink Aid is an inkjet friendly coating that you can apply to just about any substrate that you can feed through an inkjet printer.
I’m guessing you guys are using HP z series printers. My wife has a z3100 44". It’s a bitch to feed really thin rice paper through it without using some kind of a backing sheet.
Not a problem on the ancient Epson 7600 that I use at work.
im using the 44" hp designjet photo ps and it is a tank i might try to roll over some cars later today

Try Brian at Greenlight Surf Supply. The rice paper he carries sounds like what you’re looking for.

Hi Guys…joining the club - just about to buy a 44" large format printer in the school I work at and need a supplier for decal tissue on a roll - can only buy sheets here in the UK - can anyone help with ideas on a supplier? Happy to order from anywhere.
