Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 01 green, tip 0.25 mm, permanent pigment ink

The Sakura Pigma Micron 01 fineliner in green offers a 0.25 mm steel tip combined with permanent pigment ink formulated to resist fading, water and bleed-through. This single-piece fineliner delivers a reliable, consistent line ideal for precise drawing, technical sketches, illustration and archival work. Quick-drying ink and a fine, rigid tip make the pen suitable for detailed work where clarity and permanence are required.

Advantages

The 0.25 mm tip provides consistent, precise lines with minimal variation and the steel construction ensures stable stroke control for fine detail. The pigment-based ink is permanent, water-resistant and formulated to resist fading and bleeding on most papers, supporting archival-quality results. The single-piece design reduces the risk of tip wobble and maintains uniform ink flow for extended use.

Suitable for

• Technical drawings and architectural sketches
• Detailed illustrations and inked artwork
• Scientific and archival documentation
• Hand lettering, note-taking and planners
• Drafting and precision diagramming

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner is not intended for broad coverage or filling large areas due to its very fine 0.25 mm tip; using it for large fills can be slow and may wear the tip prematurely. It may also be less suitable on very rough or highly textured surfaces where the fine tip can catch or produce inconsistent lines.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.25 mm (equivalent to Sakura Micron 01)
• Tip type: rigid steel fine tip
• Ink type: permanent pigment ink
• Ink properties: fade-resistant, water-resistant, quick-drying, bleed-resistant on most papers
• Colour: green
• Design: single-piece fineliner body for stable tip alignment

How to use

Shake is not required; remove the cap and test the pen on a scrap of the intended paper to confirm line appearance. Hold the fineliner at a comfortable angle and use light, steady pressure to preserve the tip profile and maintain an even ink flow. Allow ink to dry fully before layering other media or erasing pencil guides over the ink to avoid smudging. Replace the cap after use to prevent drying.

What to consider before purchase

• Tip fineness: 0.25 mm is best for fine detail, not for filling large areas
• Paper type: smoother papers give the best, most consistent lines; very textured paper can reduce tip life
• Colour choice: green provides a distinct tone for diagrams or illustration accents
• Archival needs: permanent pigment ink is suitable for long-term records and archival work

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the Sakura Pigma Micron 01 green with smooth, heavyweight paper and use it for initial line work, technical details and inked outlines. Store horizontally or capped to preserve ink flow and cap immediately after use. When combining with water-based media, allow the pen ink to dry completely first to maintain water-resistant performance.
