You hadn't mentioned the size! Yes that would be rather hard to get though a
printer.
OHP film is also called acetate sheets. I can find that in 50 inch wide
sheets at Dickblick, but at a quick glance it is only clear. Some acetate is
smooth on one side so that you can color it

Personally, I would probably stick with as fine a weight of chiffon as you
can find - you can definitely stitch through it and roll it, but it may blur
your painted image more than acetate.
Some chiffon (silk) can be painted / dyed to whatever shade you like

Organza may also work, but is usually thicker.
Silk chiffon doesn't burn as easily to seal the edge, but that wouldn't be a
problem if you were covering the whole piece and framing it

Why not print on the OHP film to get the colour and effect you would like?
You can buy sheets that will go through your printer.
Or try chiffon and use a soldering iron to seal the edges so that it won't
fray

I had thought of chiffon (but not the soldering).
I forgot to say that we are talking about a piece of film which needs to
be about 1 meter by 1.5 meters - pretty big
