Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 05, yellow, tip 0.45 mm, permanent pigment ink — 1 pc

The Sakura Pigma Micron 05 fineliner pen in yellow features a 0.45 mm hard micro nib and permanent pigment-based ink formulated for precise, consistent lines. Designed for illustration, technical drawing, journaling and annotation, the pen delivers archival-quality, fade- and water-resistant results on paper and similar surfaces. The single-piece retail packaging contains one pen ready for immediate use.

Advantages

The Micron 05 produces reliable 0.45 mm lines with minimal variation, suitable for detailed line work and consistent lettering. Its pigment-based permanent ink dries quickly, resists water and smearing, and is formulated for long-term stability suitable for archival projects. The pen's hard micro tip maintains shape under normal pressure, providing control for technical sketches, inked illustrations and precise annotations.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and drafting where consistent 0.45 mm lines are required
• Illustration and inking of detailed artwork
• Bullet journaling, note-taking and planners
• Archival and documentation work needing fade- and water-resistant ink
• Annotation on printed documents and maps

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner is not intended for use on non-porous surfaces such as glass, glazed ceramics or many plastics, as the permanent pigment ink requires absorbent paper to perform best. It may not be the ideal choice for broad fills or marker-style shading because the 0.45 mm tip is optimized for line work rather than large-area coverage.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.45 mm (fineliner/micro nib)
• Ink type: permanent pigment-based ink
• Ink properties: fade-resistant, water-resistant, smear-resistant
• Color: yellow
• Packaging: single pen retail pack

How to use

Remove the cap and hold the pen at a comfortable angle for control. Apply light to moderate pressure to maintain the integrity of the 0.45 mm tip and achieve crisp lines. Use on appropriate paper or drafting surfaces; allow the ink a few seconds to dry to ensure water- and smear-resistance. Replace the cap after use to prevent the tip from drying out.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended application: best for fine line work, illustration and drafting rather than broad coverage
• Surface compatibility: optimized for paper and absorbent surfaces, not guaranteed on non-porous materials
• Color visibility: yellow ink may be less visible on light backgrounds compared with darker colors

Usage recommendations

For precision work, pair the Sakura Pigma Micron 05 yellow fineliner with mid- to heavy-weight paper and allow ink to dry fully before erasing pencil guides or applying washes. Store capped and horizontally or tip-up to prolong tip life and maintain consistent ink flow.
