I think it's fake

I don't think these are genuine Sakura Pigma Micron pens, I suspect they are fake. They didn't come in a sakura pack but in a sealed plastic bag. I've been using Sakura Pigma pens for over a decade now and have NEVER had them bleed into the surrounding tissue; they bled like crazy. This was embarrassing as I just said in art class that I love Sakura pens because they give a nice clean line on the fabric without "feathering" on the surrounding fabric. There were a couple of pens in the pack that didn't bleed like crazy and I used the ones I bought as I didn't have chalk to replace them and they got me through the whole class but I was VERY disappointed from them. The reason I bought this set was because I needed a lot of the same size and color pens and my art supply store didn't have enough of the ones I needed; This was the only "wholesale pack" I could find that didn't come in different sizes and/or colors. After this batch I recently bought some Sakura Pigma pens at the art supply store I usually buy and they worked great as I expected from Sakura. This doubles my suspicion that these weren't real Sakura pens, but perhaps recycled kegs filled with inferior ink.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
