Review: Great for adding detail in drawing. Teally helps in creating detailed lines and details. - This product has pros and Con's: Pro's -**Sakura Pigma Micron Pens: A Comprehensive Review** **Pros:** 1. **Variety of Tip Sizes:** One of the standout features of the Sakura Pigma Micron Pens is the wide range of tip sizes available, from ultra-fine 005 to bold 1mm brush. This variety allows for versatile line work and artistic expression across different projects. 2. **Consistent Ink Flow:** These pens are renowned for their consistent ink flow, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted lines without blotching or skipping. This reliability makes them ideal for precise detailing and intricate artwork. 3. **Archival Quality:** The Pigma ink used in these pens is archival quality, meaning it is waterproof, fade-resistant, and chemically stable. This ensures that your artwork remains vibrant and intact over time, making them suitable for professional use and archival purposes. 4. **Versatility:** Whether you're sketching, illustrating, writing, or engaging in intricate art projects, Sakura Pigma Micron Pens offer versatility across various mediums including paper, fabric, and wood. 5. **Durable Tips:** The tips of these pens are durable and resistant to fraying, even with regular use. This durability ensures longevity, making them a cost-effective choice for artists and designers. 6. **Comfortable Grip:** The ergonomic design of the pens provides a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended periods of use. This is particularly beneficial for artists who engage in detailed work. 7. **Quick Drying:** The ink dries quickly, minimizing smudging and allowing for immediate layering and blending techniques without compromising the quality of the artwork. **Cons:** 1. **Price:** While the quality of Sakura Pigma Micron Pens is undeniable, the price point may be considered relatively high compared to some other disposable pens. This could deter budget-conscious consumers, particularly those who are just starting out in art or design. 2. **Limited Color Range:** While these pens excel in black ink, the color range is somewhat limited compared to other art supplies. This may be a drawback for artists who require a wider spectrum of colors for their projects. 3. **Ink Refills Not Available:** Unlike some other pens, Sakura Pigma Micron Pens are not refillable. Once the ink runs out, the entire pen needs to be replaced, which can be less eco-friendly and potentially more costly in the long run. And when you use the fine liner on work done by a pencil, it will dry out. 4. **Susceptible to Bleeding on Certain Papers:** While the ink is generally quick-drying and resistant to smudging, it may bleed through or feather on certain types of paper, particularly thinner or lower-quality paper. This could limit the pens' suitability for specific projects or preferences. 5. **Prone to Clogging:** Although the ink flow is generally consistent, the fine tips of Sakura Pigma Micron Pens may be prone to clogging, especially if not used regularly or if exposed to dust or debris. Regular cleaning and proper storage are recommended to maintain optimal performance. 6. **Not Suitable for Large-scale Work:** While these pens excel in intricate detailing and fine lines, their small tip sizes may not be suitable for larger-scale artwork or projects requiring broad strokes. Artists looking for pens specifically for large-scale work may need to explore alternative options. Overall, Sakura Pigma Micron Pens are a popular choice among artists and designers for their consistent performance, versatility, and archival-quality ink. While they may have some drawbacks such as price and limited color range, their reliability and precision make them a valuable addition to any artist's toolkit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how are they for signing on a photo?**
A: Pigma ink is designed for use on porous paper. It would not work on slick photo paper well. Please contact us with detail and we will suggest another product.

**Q: Can it be used on plastic?**
A: Hi! Thanks for asking, no, it will not work on plastic.  For plastic, or other non-porous surfaces, you can use Microperm which is a similar fineline pen, but with ink that adheres well to plastic or glass.

**Q: Do copic markers smear the Microns?**
A: Yes, alcohol markers like Copic or Winsor & Newton will smear Microns, even when the ink from the Micron pen is dry. You'll want to layer your Copic markers first then add the Micron on top.

**Q: Are these permanent on fabric?**
A: They can write on smoother, tight weave fabrics.  We’d recommend fabrics that you do not intend to wash as some detergents may wash the ink out. Please test pen performance prior to final application.
