I'm right there with you. I've been looking around to see more details on the process. Besides getting ahold of the materials, i think the most difficult part would be taking a graphene sheet and actually making it a supercapacitor. I think it requires layering it between some sort of electrolyte sheets right?
The supercapacitor they created is planar, you don't need to layer multiple sheets, you just need to print it then deposit the gel-like electrolyte and put it together with some copper tape and klapton tape. It's written/explained in their paper:

Yes, sounds right. Quoting from the paper cited above "Thus, a device can be readily made by
sandwiching an ion porous separator [Celgard
3501 (Celgard, Charlotte, NC)] between two
identical LSG electrodes."
But the gel seperator they used was the standard industrial seperator gel for sCaps...there was a video on this, but it's too late tonight, i'll look for it tomorrow.
