Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 05, model XSDK0521, stroke 0.45 mm, permanent pigment ink, pink, 1 piece

The Sakura Pigma Micron 05 fineliner (stroke 0.45 mm) is a single pink archival-quality pen that uses permanent pigment ink engineered for clear, consistent lines. Designed for technical drawing, sketching, illustration and precise note-taking, this fineliner produces a fine, even 0.45 mm line that resists fading and water exposure. The ink is formulated to be smudge-resistant and suitable for work that requires longevity and lightfastness.

Advantages

This fineliner provides a stable, uniform 0.45 mm stroke with quick-drying permanent pigment ink that is resistant to smudging, water and fading. The pen’s tip maintains its shape during routine use, supporting detailed line work and consistent results across strokes. Its ink is suitable for archival and mixed-media applications where permanence and colour stability are important.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and drafting
• Illustration, comics and inked artwork
• Architectural sketches and diagrams
• Note-taking, journaling and planners
• Archival records and documents requiring lightfast ink

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner is not intended for broad coverage tasks or painting; the 0.45 mm stroke is optimized for line work rather than filling large areas. It may not be ideal for very rough surfaces that can wear the tip faster or for applications requiring erasable or non-permanent ink.

Key specifications

• Tip/stroke width: 0.45 mm (fineliner)
• Ink type: permanent pigment ink
• Colour: pink
• Line properties: quick-drying, water-resistant, fade-resistant, smudge-resistant
• Quantity: single pen

How to use

Uncap the pen and allow the tip to stabilise for a moment before use. Hold the fineliner at a comfortable angle and apply light, consistent pressure to produce even 0.45 mm lines. For the best results on smooth, quality paper, draw steadily and avoid excessive lateral force on the tip. After use, replace the cap securely to prevent the tip from drying out.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: choose a 0.45 mm stroke for fine line work and detailing rather than filling large areas
• Paper type: smooth, archival or drawing papers work best with pigment ink
• Permanence needs: pigment ink is permanent and water-resistant—unsuitable if you need erasable ink
• Colour choice: pink is primarily decorative or for colour-coding and may not substitute for black in technical documents

Usage recommendations

For archival-quality results, pair this Sakura Pigma Micron 05 fineliner with acid-free, smooth drawing paper and allow ink to dry fully before layering other media. Store horizontally or capped to maintain tip condition and ink flow.
