Hi Robin & all

> Does this mean every sheet has plastic both sides
> while being emossed?

Yes

Is that to avoid wax getting on the rollers?

No,
It is purely to stop the wax sheet stretching and thus rendering the cells
larger than 4.9 mm (Dee's chosen size).

> Does the plastic blur the sharpness of the embryo
> cell walls?

Very much so, but Dee sees this as an advantage.
