Sakura Pigma Graphic 1 black drawing pen, stroke width 1.0 mm, special ball and chisel tip, 1 piece

The Sakura Pigma Graphic 1 is a black drawing pen with a 1.0 mm stroke width and a special dual-shaped tip that combines a rounded ball and a chisel edge. It is designed for illustration, lettering, technical sketching and other detailed ink work. The pen uses archival-quality Pigma ink that is water-resistant and lightfast, producing sharp, consistent medium-width lines. This listing is for one individual pen suitable for artists, designers and illustrators who need reliable permanent ink with controlled line variation.

Advantages

The Pigma Graphic 1 offers consistent ink flow and a durable tip that supports both rounded strokes and crisp chisel-like edges, enabling varied line styles without changing tools. Its archival Pigma ink resists water and fading, making drawings suitable for reproduction and long-term storage. The ergonomic barrel and precise 1.0 mm stroke width provide control for medium-weight outlines and details.

Suitable for

• Illustration and comic inking
• Hand lettering and calligraphic accents
• Technical sketching and architectural detail
• Mixed-media artwork where permanent, water-resistant ink is required
• Drafting and annotation on paper

When it may not be suitable

This pen may not be ideal for extremely fine detail work that requires a tip finer than 1.0 mm, nor for broad coverage tasks where a brush or marker with a larger nib would be more efficient. It is optimized for paper and similar porous surfaces; performance on non-porous materials may be inconsistent.

Key specifications

• Ink color: black
• Stroke width: approximately 1.0 mm
• Tip type: dual-shaped (ball and chisel geometry)
• Ink properties: archival, water-resistant, lightfast
• Packaging: single pen

How to use

Hold the pen at a comfortable angle to exploit the dual-shaped tip: use the rounded side for smooth curved lines and the chisel edge for sharper, broader strokes. Apply consistent, moderate pressure—excessive force will not increase line width significantly and may shorten tip life. Allow ink to dry before layering watercolor or other wet media to prevent smudging. Cap the pen after use to avoid drying.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended line width needs: 1.0 mm provides medium-width lines
• Surface compatibility: best on paper and other porous media
• Permanence requirements: archival, water-resistant ink for long-term work
• Single unit packaging—buy multiples if you need spares

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, test the pen on scrap paper to learn how the dual-shaped tip produces different strokes at varying angles. Store horizontally or with the cap securely closed. For archival projects, allow full drying time before scanning or applying fixatives.
