Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 08 blue, tip 0.5 mm, permanent pigment ink — 1 pc

The Sakura Pigma Micron 08 fineliner in blue features a 0.5 mm tip and permanent pigment ink formulated for precise, consistent lines. Intended for technical drawing, illustration, sketching and archival-quality notes, this fineliner delivers water-resistant, colorfast strokes that resist bleeding and fading. The pen body is lightweight and balanced for controlled line work while the 0.5 mm fiber tip maintains a steady ink flow for detailed work and repeatable results.

Advantages

The Pigma Micron 08 provides archival-quality pigment ink that is water-resistant and fade-resistant, ensuring long-lasting records and artwork. Its 0.5 mm tip produces reliable, uniform lines suitable for fine details and technical annotations. The pen offers immediate ink flow without soaking through most papers, and the consistent tip shape supports predictable line width over extended use.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and architectural sketches
• Illustration, inking and comic art
• Detailed sketching and journaling
• Archival notes, labeling and document annotation

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner is not intended for broad coverage or filling large areas since the 0.5 mm tip produces narrow lines. It may not be the best choice on extremely rough or highly textured surfaces where the fine fiber tip can wear faster or skip.

Key specifications

• Ink type: permanent pigment, water-resistant, colorfast
• Tip size: 0.5 mm (fine line)
• Tip material: fiber (felt)
• Color: blue
• Line quality: consistent, non-bleeding on most papers

How to use

Remove the cap and hold the pen at a comfortable angle to the paper for stable control. Apply light, even pressure to maintain the specified 0.5 mm line width; heavier pressure may slightly widen the stroke. Use in a single direction for cleaner lines when inking illustrations or technical drawings. Replace the cap after use to prevent the tip from drying out.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: fine lines and detailed work rather than large-area filling
• Paper surface: smoother papers give the best line consistency and tip longevity
• Archival needs: choose pigment ink when water-resistance and lightfastness matter

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the Sakura Pigma Micron 08 with smooth, heavyweight paper designed for ink. Allow ink to dry fully before applying washes or layering media, and store horizontally or capped to preserve tip performance and ink flow.
