Fineliner Sakura Pigma Micron PN, blue archival-quality permanent lightfast ink, 1 piece

The Sakura Pigma Micron PN fineliner in blue is a single-pen drawing and writing tool that uses archival-quality, permanent, lightfast ink. The PN tip is designed to produce a precise, controlled line suitable for detailed illustrations, notes and technical work where long-term legibility and fade resistance are important. The pen is intended for use on paper and similar surfaces and is part of Sakura’s Pigma line known for pigment-based, water-resistant ink.

Advantages

The pen delivers consistent, smudge-resistant lines thanks to pigment-based ink that resists fading over time. Its permanent, lightfast formulation supports archival use and professional workflows that require reliable documentation. The PN tip enables precise line control for fine details, lettering and delicate cross-hatching without frequent interruptions for re-inking.

Suitable for

• Technical illustration and architectural sketches
• Fine-line drawing, inking and comic art
• Note-taking, journaling and archival records
• Mixed-media artwork when used on compatible papers

When it may not be suitable

The Sakura Pigma Micron PN is not intended for use on non-porous surfaces such as glossy plastics, metal or glass where pigment ink may not adhere properly. It may not be the best option if very broad or variable line widths are required; other tip sizes or brush markers would be more appropriate for bold strokes or calligraphic effects.

Key specifications

• Tip type: PN (precision nib) for fine, controlled lines
• Ink colour: blue
• Ink properties: pigment-based, permanent, lightfast, water-resistant once dry
• Packaging: single pen
• Typical uses: drawing, sketching, technical work, archival documentation

How to use

Shake gently before use if recommended by the manufacturer and uncapped, test the pen on a scrap of the intended paper to confirm line width and ink behaviour. Apply with light, even pressure to maintain a consistent line; the PN tip is designed for precision rather than heavy pressure. Cap the pen when not in use to prevent drying. Allow ink to dry fully before layering other media or applying solvents.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended surface: best performance on uncoated, porous papers
• Required line width: PN tip is for fine, precise lines rather than broad strokes
• Archival needs: pigment, permanent and lightfast ink is suitable for long-term records
• Single unit pack: sold as one pen — consider quantity needed for larger projects

Usage recommendations

For archival or professional work, pair the pen with acid-free paper and allow ink to cure fully before framing or applying washes. When combining with water-based washes, test compatibility on a scrap sheet to confirm water-resistance after drying.
