NEW Pigma Micron COLORS!​ We have exciting news to share… We’ve expanded our PIGMA MICRON® collection with two new gray colors! Pigma® ink, invented by Sakura over 30 years ago, continues to be the most reliable permanent ink on the market today. Artists, consumers, the government, and scientists consider Pigma Micron® a necessary basic tool for any archival-quality, handwritten project. Are you interested in Pigma Pens but aren’t sure what to get? A set of Pigma Micron Pens is a great place to start. Choose from sets that have a variety of tip sizes, or bundles that include multiple colors. A reliable drawing pen beloved around the world. Introduced in 1982 as the pioneer of water-based pigment ink pen.

The pen sports a cap that snaps on securely and has a sturdy metal clip. The needle point tip is fine and precise. It’s reinforced with metal, but be sure to use a light hand with Micron pens. Pressing down too hard can break the tip or cause ink to squirt out. Finer tip sizes like 003 or 005 require extra caution to prevent the tip from bending and becoming unusable. The Pigma Brush Pen has a flexible felt tip which mimics the feel of a real bristle brush. It responds to changes in pressure and direction to produce varying line widths, which is suitable for both illustrators and calligraphers. The tip is both soft and long, so letterers will need to write larger than normal to create legible strokes. Additionally, the generous ink flow creates a wet line that needs additional time to dry.

Artists, writers, and illustrators reach for Pigma Micron and know their work is safeguarded with the permanence of Pigma ink. The first disposable technical pen using archival pigmented ink, Pigma Micron ink pen is selected for fine-point technical and artistic applications, such as Zentangle. Sakura invented and patented PIGMA® ink over 25 years ago. A formulation of pigment-based inks, more complex and stable than dye-based inks, PIGMA® ink has become the standard for what is defined as reliable, permanent, archival quality ink. Depending on the amount of pressure applied to the tip, it can create a 0.4 mm or 0.5 mm line. Micron PN pens work on most surfaces, including paper, wood, glass, and plastic. They apply most vibrantly and permanently on paper surfaces, so they are excellent for professional illustrations and everyday notes. Like with the standard Microns, the XSDK and ESDK Microns differ only in body color. Products bearing this symbol have been evaluated in the US by a medical expert to certify that they do not possess more than the allowable level of materials toxic to humans, and hae received certification from ACMI(Art & Creative Materials Institute) in regard to material safety.

The Pigma Professional Brush Pen is a blessing for illustrators and calligraphers who don’t have the time to dip brushes or clean up ink spills. Like the Pigma Brush Pen, the Pigma Professional Brush Pen has a consistent, generous flow that makes everything from crisp hairlines to bold downstrokes. It has a “bouncy” feel and retains its shape over time. The smooth, plastic body is lightweight and comfortable to hold. Though it doesn’t have a clip, small nubs on the cap prevent the pen from rolling away. The medium and bold tips are quite soft, while the fine tip has a firmer construction. Sizes When most people hear the name “Sakura Pigma,” they immediately think of the original Sakura Pigma Micron Pen. Its name references the ink’s special micro pigment particles. The Pigma is a well-loved pen across many different occupations and uses. Professional illustrators, watercolorists, and laboratory technicians can take advantage of the multiple tip sizes as well as the archival quality Pigma ink.
