Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 05, green, line 0.45 mm, permanent pigment ink

The Sakura Pigma Micron 05 fineliner in green produces a steady 0.45 mm line with permanent pigment ink formulated for archival use. The pen is intended for precise drawing, sketching, technical line work and annotations where water- and fade-resistant performance is required. Its fiber tip delivers consistent ink flow for clear, uniform lines on a variety of papers used in illustration, drafting and documentation.

Advantages

This single green fineliner offers permanent, lightfast pigment ink that resists water and fading, making it suitable for long-lasting artwork and records. The 0.45 mm tip provides controlled, even strokes for detailed line work and cross-hatching. The pen's manufacturing ensures reliable ink flow and reduced blotting on quality papers, supporting precise technical lines and clean, archival annotations.

Suitable for

• Illustration and ink drawing
• Technical drafting and architectural sketches
• Hand lettering and fine detail work
• Document annotation and archival labeling
• Mixed-media work where water-resistant ink is required

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner is optimized for precise line work rather than broad coverage; it is not intended for filling large areas quickly. On very absorbent or textured papers the line may appear less sharp and ink absorption can affect line consistency. It is also not suitable for use on non-porous surfaces such as glossy plastics or metals where pigment ink cannot penetrate and adhere.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.45 mm (approximate line width 0.45 mm)
• Ink type: Permanent pigment ink, lightfast
• Performance: Water-resistant and fade-resistant when dry
• Tip style: Fixed fiber tip for consistent lines
• Colour: Green

How to use

Begin by testing the pen on a scrap of the paper you plan to use to confirm line appearance and absorption. Hold the pen at a comfortable angle and apply steady pressure for consistent strokes; the fixed fiber tip provides the same line width across different drawing speeds. Allow ink to dry fully before applying washes or other wet media to preserve water-resistant properties. Cap the pen after use to prevent drying.

What to consider before purchase

• Desired line width and whether a 0.45 mm line suits your detail level
• Paper type and absorbency — smoother papers give crisper lines
• Need for water- and fade-resistant ink for archival work
• Colour preference: this item is green; check if that matches your project

Usage recommendations

For best archival results, use on smooth, acid-free paper and allow the ink to dry completely before exposing to moisture or applying other media. Store capped and horizontally or tip-up to maintain ink flow.
