Dynamask film is harder to get and significantly more expensive.

Unfortunately nobody in China, and I mean NOBODY in China, seems to sell 
Dynamask (or any similar dry film soldermask), while dry film resist is 
everywhere.

I suppose it's simply down to the PCB fabs not using dry film for solder 
mask, so there's no "surplus" like there is with resist.
