Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron 10 — black, line width 0.6 mm, permanent pigment ink

Sakura Pigma Micron 10 is a fineliner pen with a 0.6 mm tip that produces precise, consistent black lines. The pen uses permanent pigment ink that is lightfast and water-resistant, intended for technical drawing, illustration, note-taking and archival work. The single-piece design combines a firm metal-clad tip with a comfortable barrel for steady line control and frequent use.

Advantages

The Pigma Micron 10 delivers archival-quality, fade-resistant black lines thanks to its pigment-based ink. Its 0.6 mm tip provides uniform stroke width and reliable line flow without clogging or skipping. The ink is water-resistant and dries quickly, reducing the risk of smudging and ensuring compatibility with washes and mixed-media techniques. The pen’s durable construction supports consistent performance for both professional and hobbyist applications.

Suitable for

• Technical drawings and architectural sketches
• Illustration, inking and comic art
• Detailed notes, journaling and planners
• Archival documents, certificates and records
• Mixed-media work where water resistance is required

When it may not be suitable

This fineliner is not intended for broad coverage tasks or filling large areas because the 0.6 mm tip produces narrow lines. It is also not formulated as a washable dye-based ink, so it is not suitable when erasable or highly blendable water-soluble inks are required.

Key specifications

• Tip width: 0.6 mm
• Ink colour: black
• Ink type: permanent pigment, lightfast and water-resistant
• Line quality: consistent, non-clogging flow
• Barrel: single-piece pen body with metal-clad tip

How to use

Uncap the pen and hold it at a comfortable angle to the paper for optimal control. Apply gentle, even pressure to produce a consistent 0.6 mm line; heavier pressure will not significantly widen the stroke. Allow the pigment ink to dry briefly before applying washes or other wet media to avoid disturbance of the drawn line. Replace the cap after use to prevent drying and store horizontally for best long-term performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Desired line width: 0.6 mm produces medium-fine lines suitable for detail work
• Need for permanent, lightfast and water-resistant ink
• Not suited for filling large areas—consider broader markers for coverage
• Single-pen purchase: check quantity if multiple tips or colours are required

Usage recommendations

Use the Sakura Pigma Micron 10 for precise inking, technical lines and archival notes. Pair with quality, smooth-surfaced paper designed for ink to preserve line crispness and avoid feathering.
