Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 01 — brown, line 0.25 mm, permanent pigment ink

The Sakura Pigma Micron 01 fineliner in brown produces a precise 0.25 mm line using archival-quality permanent pigment ink. Designed for technical drawing, illustration, journaling and sketching, this fineliner delivers consistent, fine lines that resist fading and bleeding. Its water- and color-resistant ink ensures detailed work remains sharp on paper, layouts and finished artwork.

Advantages

The Pigma Micron 01 offers a consistently fine 0.25 mm tip that enables detailed line work and accurate hatching. Its pigment-based, permanent ink is archival and resistant to water and fading, making it suitable for works that require longevity. The pen is suitable for both professional and hobby use, providing smooth ink flow with minimal skipping and reliable color permanence.

Suitable for

• Technical drawings and architectural sketches
• Illustration, inking and comic art
• Journaling, planners and bullet journals
• Detailed sketching and cross-hatching
• Layouts and archival artwork that require permanence

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner is optimized for paper and similar porous surfaces; it may not perform as intended on glossy, non-porous materials where pigment adhesion is reduced. For broad strokes, filling large areas, or calligraphy that requires flexible nibs, a thicker marker or a brush pen will be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Line width: 0.25 mm (very fine)
• Ink type: permanent pigment ink
• Ink properties: archival-quality, water-resistant, fade-resistant, color-stable
• Color: brown
• Intended surfaces: paper, layouts and other porous art papers

How to use

Use the Sakura Pigma Micron 01 with light, even pressure to maintain the fine 0.25 mm line width and preserve the tip life. Allow ink to dry fully before applying washes or additional media to prevent smearing. Store the pen horizontally when not in use and recap securely to avoid drying out. For best results on detailed work, use quality paper designed for ink.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 0.25 mm line width meets your detail requirements.
• Consider whether brown pigment ink fits your color palette and archival needs.
• Check compatibility with the paper or surface you plan to use (porous papers recommended).
• If you need broader coverage or variable line widths, evaluate thicker tips or brush pens instead.

Usage recommendations

For archival drawings and detailed illustrations, combine the Micron 01 with heavier-weight, acid-free paper and allow ink to cure before framing or applying protective sprays. Rotate between similar pens for intensive use to prolong tip life and maintain consistent line quality.
