The first was 140 but a different type that is only sized internally &#8211; it&#8217;s their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hahnemuehle.com\/en\/artist-papers\/watercolour\/mould-made-watercolour\/p\/Product\/show\/16\/40.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Turner line<\/a>. It&#8217;s quite a different experience from the Arches that I have been using from the start. I bought full sheets of both to try and the Turner is smaller (20&#215;26&#8243;) than most sheets (22&#215;30&#8243;) which confused the heck out of me but I worked out the math to cut it up. Another good use for the mat cutter!
