Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 005 – orange, 0.20 mm, permanent pigment ink

The Sakura Pigma Micron 005 fineliner in orange features an extra-fine 0.20 mm nib and permanent pigment ink formulated for precise technical drawing, illustration and archival-quality pen work. The ink is water- and fade-resistant and produces consistent, smooth lines on paper, making it suitable for detailed line work, technical notes and mixed-media applications where permanence and fine detail are required.

Advantages

The ultra-fine 0.20 mm tip delivers highly controlled, uniform lines for intricate drawings and detailed annotations. Sakura’s pigment-based ink resists water and fading, offering long-term legibility and archival stability on paper. The pen’s construction supports steady ink flow and reliable performance during extended drawing or note-taking sessions.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and architectural detail work
• Fine illustration, line art and inking for comics or graphic novels
• Precise annotation, note-taking and diagramming
• Mixed-media projects where water-resistant ink is required

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner’s very fine 0.20 mm nib is designed for delicate line work and may not be suitable for bold strokes, large surface filling or calligraphy that requires flexible or broader tips. The pen is intended primarily for use on paper; performance on non-porous surfaces, coated papers or fabrics may be limited despite the permanent pigment chemistry.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.20 mm (extra-fine)
• Ink type: permanent pigment ink
• Colour: orange
• Line quality: consistent, waterproof and fade-resistant lines on paper

How to use

Hold the pen at a comfortable angle and apply light, even pressure to produce the finest line width. For technical work, use a ruler or template to guide straight lines. Allow ink to dry briefly to ensure water resistance before applying washes or layering with other media. Replace the cap after use to prevent the tip from drying out.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: choose an extra-fine tip for detailed line work rather than broad coverage
• Surface compatibility: best results on uncoated paper and drawing paper
• Colour choice: orange provides high visibility but may not suit every project

Usage recommendations

Use the Sakura Pigma Micron 005 for precision tasks such as technical sketches, detailed ink illustrations and archival notes. Combine with rulers, templates and complementary media after allowing ink to dry to maintain line integrity.
