The Micro-composition was entirely made by the monks from originals belonging to the Abbey. Special attention was given legibility. Moreover, the monks work also on assembling each board in its frame.
These frames, in solid wood, are extremely light. The pigmented inks used for printing are extremely resistant to daylight. The printed surface is cold-coated with a thin transparent and non-reflecting layer of plastic.
