The exact retailer selection
Jackson’s UK recordPPAP23HP identifies an Arches Aquarelle hot-pressed gummed pad, 23×31 cm, twelve sheets, 300 gsm/140lb. Its observed ticket is£17.90. This is not the cold-pressedPPAP23N version, the rough version, a larger 26×36 cm pad or a four-edge-glued block.
The material statement
The selected retailer describes mould-made 100% cotton paper, gelatine sizing and a short-edge-gummed format. The maker’s Aquarelle range page supports cotton and natural-gelatin sizing context. The journal records those declarations without claiming a fibre assay, archival certification audit or actual wash-performance test.
A useful receiving check
Match PPAP23HP and the hot-pressed surface rather than using the cover colour alone. Check the supplied sheet count and metric dimensions. A pad with twelve sheets has twelve physical leaves, not twenty-four merely because each leaf has two sides. No useful painting yield is inferred from the number of surfaces.
A concrete order check
The selected retailer barcode is3700417950970. The cold-pressed23×31cm record has another product code and a different ticket. If a warehouse substitute changesHP toN,check it against the requested surface before accepting. Matching brand,dimensions and sheet count still leaves the surface field unresolved when the code differs.
What remains unmeasured
The site has not measured supplied thickness, trim tolerances, usable margins or paper behaviour when wet. The price is a dated UK retailer observation, not a guarantee of current checkout, stock or delivery. Actual supplied labels and independent art-material review remain pending.
