I am presently building my first pair of flat plate capacitors.  I am 
using 6 mil polyethelyne sheet that I purchase from the local building
supply depot.  The roll that I purchase was exactly 12" wide and 300'
long which I felt that I could unroll and cut into 12"x12" square 
sheets which is the size that I need.

The question that I would like to have answered is whether the printing
on the poly, which happens to be along the full length, will have any
affect on the dielectric strength of the material.  Any comments?
