Preparation Steps
The paper is noted to be 'locally made paper, in addition to using varieties of paper imported from abroad' (p. 8). The production process involved a lining or 'underlining' technique to regulate handwriting, using a 'ruler' board with threads to press lines into the paper by hand (p. 3).

Evidence
"The study showed that the measurements of the Mus’haf followed the virtuous ratio in the beauty of the rectangle, in which the width is two-thirds of the length... the Moroccans were using locally made paper"
Remarks
The paper measurements are 41 cm in length and 29 cm in width (p. 2). Each page contains thirteen lines of writing with large white margins (9 cm at the bottom and 3 cm at the top) (p. 4). The use of paper in the Islamic West followed a late shift from parchment, starting around the 11th century AD (p. 3).
