The Sakura Pigma Micron 005 fineliner in green features a 0.2 mm metal-clad tip and permanent pigment ink formulated for precise line work, technical drawing, illustration and archival-quality notes. The pen delivers consistent ink flow with a fine, controlled line suitable for detailed sketches, lettering and annotation. Its pigment-based ink is fade-resistant and water-resistant once dry, making the fineliner appropriate for work that needs to remain legible and stable over time.
Advantages
The Micron 005 provides a reliably thin 0.2 mm line that supports fine detail and neat cross-hatching without bleeding on many common drawing papers. Permanent pigment ink resists fading and moisture after drying, helping preserve drawings and notes. The single-piece fineliner construction gives consistent ink flow and predictable line weight for technical and artistic applications.
Suitable for
- Precise technical drawing and drafting
- Detailed illustration and inked artwork
- Fine handwriting, annotations and note-taking
- Cartography, diagrams and schematic marking
- Archival-quality documents and scrapbooking (when paper is suitable)
When it may not be suitable
The 0.2 mm tip is intended for very fine lines and is not suited to broad strokes, filling large areas or calligraphy styles that require flexible nibs. On very rough or fibrous papers the tip may wear faster and line quality can degrade; for heavy shading or marker-like coverage a broader tip or marker should be used instead.
Key specifications

How to use
Hold the pen at a comfortable writing angle and apply light, consistent pressure to maintain the fine 0.2 mm line without splaying the tip. Allow ink to dry fully before touching or layering other media to ensure water-resistance and reduced smudging. For detailed work, use a light hand and short strokes; for consistent cross-hatching follow a steady stroke rhythm. Cap the pen after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
What to consider before purchase
- Tip fineness: 0.2 mm provides very fine lines—ensure this matches your drawing or writing needs
- Paper choice: smoother, higher-quality papers preserve tip life and prevent feathering
- Ink permanence: pigment ink is permanent and water-resistant when dry but may react differently with coated or very absorbent papers
- Single pen: this offer is for one fineliner in green
Usage recommendations
Use the Sakura Pigma Micron 005 for tasks that require crisp, archival-quality lines: fine technical details, inked illustrations, precise annotations and any work where long-term legibility is important. Store horizontally or capped to extend tip life and test on scrap paper when switching to a new surface.
