Review on Sakura Pigma Micron 08 - Fine Point Black Pen πŸ–ŠοΈ - Pack of 3: High-Quality Pigment Fineliners for Precise & Fade-Resistant Writing by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Non-fine point

I'm pretty picky about my pens. I use a thin Sharpie tip which I like for its thin point. But on most page types, it has a subtle bleed and is zero sized. My husband likes Microns for Bible writing. So I thought I'd give them a try (and do a comparison report). The bolder color is subtle yet impressive. There's a scratch in the resistor that's more noticeable on plain paper, which some might equate to fingers across a board. BUT pump zero. My 3 star rating is more of a warning than advice. Either all the other 0.5mm tips (pens and pencils) I've used are the wrong size or they aren't. This Micron 08 (0.5mm) is more like 0.8mm. What I wanted to get was 05 (0.45mm). I thought 0.05mm wouldn't be a huge difference, but it's HUGE if you're looking for a good writing experience. If you want "0.5mm" choose Micron 05.

Pros
  • Sakura's unique PIGMA ink is the world's first to combine water-based and pigmented inks to create vibrant colors that won't bleed through paper.
Cons
  • Only available in white
