Form-X film was produced and sold in the US for many years and is no longer available - at least, I cannot find it. The matte finish was the main reason I used it, and I stocked it in light blue, orange, and clear. The film I purchased at the last IOL conference in Salt Lake was terrifically expensive (and I no longer offer to share it with my students!) They (and I) use blue paper for patterns and the clear sticky film (used for lining shelves?) But it is shiny and awful to work on with a strong light; I dull the surface with a green scrubber pad.
For a serious project requiring many months, I prick a traditional pattern on dark card and mark it with India ink and a Rapidograph pen. Takes forever, but it will last through many repeats. So if anyone wants to share the source for the lovely matte finish blue film or share out a roll, do let me know.
