Product Information

For deliveries to the Rest of the World, Royal Mail suggests up to 21 working days for parcels to arrive. Sakura state that they are disposable pens and that (apart from running out of ink), they should last up to 24 months if used correctly. The Pigma ink contained in these Pigma Micron pens was perfect for drafting work and was incredibly long-lasting. The Sakura Pigma pen is a useful product for those engaged in drafting and artists who want to draw thin lines. Sakura Pigma Micron Pen is ideally suited to the following types of work: Drawing, Note-taking, Archival Legal Documents, any task that requires long-lasting ink. What is the thinnest Sakura Micron Pen?

Sakura Pigma Micron Pens contain water-resistant pigment based archival ink. The smooth flowing ink evenly distributes across the paper consistently whilst the needle shaped nylon nib offers you precision and a reliable performance. Available in a variety of the different sizes enabling you to select the right tool for the right job.It was the discovery by Sakura of how to reduce the size of these particles suspended in the liquid that was what allowed the company to launch Pigma ink. The pen is particularly useful if the work needs to be kept for longer periods and where the writing must not be easy to alter. Use for graphic art, sketching, pen and ink illustrations, awards, freehand art, calligraphy, as well as general letter writing and legal d ocuments. I am not particularly keen on adding more plastic waste to the environment and would prefer a refillable version.

If you need the original document for limited time because you will reproduce them, then dye ink is a better option. When you use a Sakura Micron with a ruler, the ink will often seep under the marker and ruin the work. When most people hear the name “Sakura Pigma,” they immediately think of the original Sakura Pigma Micron Pen. Its name references the ink’s special micro pigment particles. The Pigma is a well-loved pen across many different occupations and uses. Professional illustrators, watercolorists, and laboratory technicians can take advantage of the multiple tip sizes as well as the archival quality Pigma ink. If you are content with the limited range of colors, the fact int cannot be refilled, and the environmental effects of using the pen, then you should be very happy purchasing Sakura Micron pens.

Microns by Sakura were originally used for drawing fine lines in technical drawings for fine detail in art.

However, you cannot buy Sakura Micron inks so that you will be refilling them with different ink, so they will no longer be Sakura Microns. If you use too much pressure on the nibs, there is always the possibility that they will break, or you will force excess ink out onto the drawing.

The company remained in the art materials market. It continued development work, which ultimately led to a new ink product which they called Pigma Ink. So with Sakura Pigma Micron pens being pigment based rather than a dye based or ink based, I have included a comparison on the two types. What is the difference between dye and pigment-based inks? Personally I love using them with a good Moleskine journal for writing and sketching. Try it out and tell me what you think. Pigma ink, invented by Sakura over 25 years ago, continues to be the more stable than standard dye based inks. The first choice for archival and fine detail work, these drawing pens are ideal for artists, writers and illustrators who have the guarantee of permanence due to the unparalleled archival quality of Pigma ink. The Pigma Micron offers smooth, skip-free writing and crisp ink with consistent lettering and Lines every time.
