Fineliner pen Sakura Pigma Micron PN black, archival-quality permanent ink – 1 piece

Sakura Pigma Micron PN fineliner in black delivers archival-quality, permanent, lightfast ink in a single-piece pen designed for precise line work. The PN tip produces a slightly brush-like stroke suitable for both controlled lines and varied-width marks, making it appropriate for technical drawing, illustration, handwriting and documentation that requires water-resistant, fade-resistant ink. The pen is intended for professional and hobby use where longevity and clarity of lines matter.

Advantages

The Sakura Pigma Micron PN uses pigment-based, archival ink that resists fading and water, ensuring stable, permanent lines on paper and archival materials. Its durable tip offers consistent ink flow and produces clean edges with minimal feathering. The black ink provides high contrast and legibility for technical diagrams, illustrations and written records.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and drafting
• Illustration, comic inking and line art
• Handwriting, note-taking and journaling
• Archival documentation, records and certificates
• Mixed-media artwork where waterproof ink is required

When it may not be suitable

The PN fineliner produces variable-width strokes but is not a flexible brush pen; it may not replace a true brush for expressive calligraphy or wide brushstrokes. It is designed primarily for paper and similar substrates; performance on non-porous surfaces like plastic, glass or glazed ceramics may be limited and drying/adhesion is not guaranteed.

Key specifications

• Ink type: pigment-based, archival-quality, permanent and lightfast
• Color: black
• Tip style: PN (small, slightly brush-like tip for varied-width lines)
• Line capability: fine to variable-width strokes depending on pressure and angle
• Water resistance: ink is water-resistant when dry

How to use

Shake or store the pen as recommended by the manufacturer and remove the cap before use. Hold the PN tip at different angles and apply varying pressure to achieve fine lines or broader strokes. Allow the ink to dry fully before layering with other wet media or handling the page to avoid smudging. For archival work, use on clean, suitable paper and let the ink cure according to ambient conditions before long-term storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended surface: optimized for paper and archival media rather than non-porous substrates
• Stroke style: PN tip offers variable-width lines but is not a substitute for a flexible brush
• Archival needs: pigment ink is permanent and lightfast, suitable for long-term records

Usage recommendations

Store capped when not in use to prevent tip drying. Test on a scrap of the intended paper to confirm line width and drying time, and allow the ink to dry completely before exposing artworks or documents to moisture or layering with water-based media.
