Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 05 burgundy, tip 0.45 mm, permanent pigment ink

The Sakura Pigma Micron 05 fineliner in burgundy offers a 0.45 mm tip paired with permanent pigment-based ink formulated to resist fading and water. This single pen is designed for precise line work in technical drawing, illustration, sketching and archival-quality note taking. The tip delivers consistent, smear-free lines suitable for detailed contours, lettering and fine hatching.

Advantages

The Sakura Pigma Micron 05 combines a stable 0.45 mm nib with pigment ink that dries quickly and is resistant to water and fading, ensuring longevity of your lines. The pen is engineered for uniform ink flow and a durable tip that maintains shape during repeated use. Its burgundy colour provides an alternative to black for emphasising details or adding subtle colour in professional and hobby work.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and architectural sketches requiring controlled, consistent line width
• Illustration, inked artwork and comic inking where archival-quality pigment ink is needed
• Notes, diagrams and archival record keeping that must resist water and fading
• Hand lettering, fine hatching and detail work in mixed-media pieces

When it may not be suitable

The Micron 05 is not intended for broad coverage or area filling; its 0.45 mm tip is optimized for fine lines rather than colouring large surfaces. It may not be ideal on very rough, textured papers where the tip can catch or on non-porous surfaces where pigment ink may not adhere properly.

Key specifications

• Tip size: approximately 0.45 mm (fine point)
• Ink type: waterproof, pigment-based permanent ink
• Line quality: consistent, smear-resistant fine lines
• Colour: burgundy
• Intended use: drawing, illustration, sketching, archival notes

How to use

Hold the pen at a comfortable angle and apply light, even pressure to achieve consistent lines with the 0.45 mm tip. Use short, controlled strokes for fine detailing and longer, steady strokes for continuous lines. Allow the pigment ink to dry fully before layering water-based media to prevent smudging; when used as intended on paper, the ink will remain water-resistant once dry.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a fine 0.45 mm tip meets your needs for line width and detail
• Consider paper type—smoother, moderately porous papers provide best results
• Note the burgundy colour if you require colour-specific pens for your workflow

Usage recommendations

For archival work and precise illustrations, pair the Micron 05 with high-quality, acid-free paper and allow ink to dry completely before handling or applying other media. Store the pen capped and horizontally when not in use to maintain tip condition and ink flow.
