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

The Sakura Pigma Micron 05 fineliner in orange features a 0.45 mm tip and permanent pigment ink designed for precise line work. This single-piece fineliner produces consistent, archival-quality lines that are fade- and water-resistant, making it suitable for technical drawing, illustration, sketching, note-taking and annotation. The Micron 05 delivers predictable ink flow and a medium-fine line width that balances detail and coverage for a range of paper surfaces.

Advantages

The permanent pigment ink resists fading and water, providing long-lasting marks appropriate for archival work. The single-piece construction ensures stable tip alignment and reliable ink delivery for consistent lines. With a 0.45 mm tip, the pen offers enough precision for fine details while maintaining smooth ink flow for clean strokes. The color visibility of the orange ink helps with color-coding, highlighting or accenting drawings and notes.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and drafting where consistent line width is required
• Illustration, comics and inked artwork that require archival pigment ink
• Sketching and urban sketchbooks on paper suitable for fineliners
• Annotation, note-taking and color-coding documents or planners
• Hand-lettering and outlining when a medium-fine permanent line is needed

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner is not intended for use on non-porous surfaces such as glass, glazed ceramics or certain plastics, where pigment inks may not adhere properly. It is also not the best choice when very broad coverage or highly flexible brush-like strokes are required; for those tasks a brush pen or marker with a broader tip would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.45 mm (medium-fine line)
• Ink type: permanent pigment ink (fade- and water-resistant)
• Ink color: orange
• Body: single-piece fineliner construction for stable tip alignment
• Typical applications: technical drawing, illustration, sketching, annotation

How to use

Hold the fineliner at a comfortable angle and apply light to moderate pressure for an even ink flow and consistent line width. Use on paper types recommended for ink pens to avoid feathering or bleed-through; test on a scrap if unsure. Replace the cap after use to prevent drying. For best archival results, allow ink to dry fully before stacking or erasing pencil guides over the inked lines.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 0.45 mm tip size fits your required line width and level of detail
• Confirm the orange color suits your intended use for illustration, coding or highlighting
• Check paper compatibility to prevent bleed-through or feathering

Usage recommendations

Use the Sakura Pigma Micron 05 on medium- to high-quality paper for best archival performance and minimal bleed. For technical work, pair with pencils for layout and ink after the composition is finalized; for color-coding, combine with other Micron colors or compatible pigment-based markers to maintain consistent permanence across your work.
