Basically need to create 100cm by 15cm strips for promotional banners. Figured I can save money and run them through the inkjet printer as it is narrow enough.

Don't worry I get 1 litre of inkjet ink for just £10!

The smallest standard size is A0 is about 1200 x 800mm (ish). So I can get that and cut it up to the size I want.

But can't seem to source it anywhere. Any ideas?

    You could try talking to a local printers or signmakers and see if they can help you. You may need to buy a larger size and get it custom cut. My small local independent print shop has always cut card to the size I want on his industrial cutter which does a ream at a time. You could also ask the printers about buying card but you could probably buy cheaper elsewhere.
    I always used to use a company called PDA for card but haven't used them in years. They were very helpful and may even cut it to size for you.

    Go directly to source, try e-bay there are many paper companies that will sell you A0 size card or paper.

    I would doubt that it will print exactly where you want it to though if you have a normal A4 printer. Unless of course you are using a programme where you can specify or there is a 'banner' print facility.
