No one is making new 80 column punched card stock either.
Really? I thought there
is still some card stock to buy.

Would it be interesting to make new paper tapes? I once built a
prototype of a fanfolding machine. It worked not perfectly due to lack
of mechanic precision. But that could be fixed.
It's no problem to get some paper cut and rewound to the right
dimensions. Even printing something interesting onto the roll is no big
deal.
I'm so sorry about our factory (where I have my printshop and storage
now): There was all the stuff needed to flexo print and cut paper tape
rolls. In fact they even actually produced some punch tape in the past.
I sometimes thought about getting back into small scale (before it was
HUGE) flexo printing and paper roll processing to create a small
"vintage supplies" business.
Thought of teletype rolls (the sprocket oney!), paper tapes, FORTRAN
coding forms (which I could already deliver from my letterpress shop!),
CalComp plotter rolls and so on.
