Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 005, brown, 0.2 mm tip, permanent pigment ink, 1 pc

The Sakura Pigma Micron 005 fineliner in brown features an ultra-fine 0.2 mm tip and permanent pigment ink formulated for archival-quality results. Designed for precise line work, this single-piece pen delivers consistent, controlled strokes with ink that resists fading, water and many solvents, making it suitable for detailed illustration, technical drawings, annotations and long-term storage of work.

Advantages

The permanent pigment ink provides high colorfastness and resists water, smudging and most chemical cleaners, helping lines remain sharp over time. The 0.2 mm stainless-steel tip enables extremely fine, consistent lines suitable for intricate details and technical precision. The pen’s balanced body and reliable ink flow allow sustained use without frequent skips or blotting.

Suitable for

• Detailed illustration and inking work where very fine lines are required
• Technical sketches, architectural and engineering drawings
• Hand lettering and fine annotation in notebooks, planners and archival documents
• Biological or scientific sketches that need permanence and clarity

When it may not be suitable

Because of its ultra-fine 0.2 mm tip, this fineliner is not ideal for broad coverage, bold lines or filling large areas; those tasks are better served by pens with broader nibs or markers. Users who require erasable or water-soluble ink should choose a different product, since the pigment ink is permanent and water-resistant.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.2 mm (ultra-fine)
• Ink type: permanent pigment-based ink
• Color: brown
• Line quality: consistent, fade-resistant and water-resistant
• Body: single-piece fineliner pen designed for precision work

How to use

Remove the cap and hold the pen at a slight angle for best control; apply light, steady pressure to achieve the finest lines and increase pressure slightly for a thicker stroke when needed. Allow ink to dry briefly before touching or layering additional media to avoid smudging, even though the ink is water-resistant. Store the pen horizontally or with the cap on to maintain tip condition and prevent drying.

What to consider before purchase

• Tip fineness: 0.2 mm is optimized for ultra-fine detail rather than broad strokes
• Ink permanence: pigment ink is non-erasable and water-resistant
• Color choice: brown provides a warm, non-black alternative for illustrations and annotations

Usage recommendations

Use the Sakura Pigma Micron 005 for precise outlining, micro-detailing and technical linework on smooth, quality papers and archival media. Combine with wider Micron sizes for varied line weight in illustrations, and allow layers to dry fully before applying washes or solvents.
