🖊️ Sakura 30381 Pigma Micron Blister Card 03 Ink Pen, 0.35-mm, Black: Ultra-fine Tip and Fade-resistant Ink Review

I've used many other companies' liners over the years and the Sakura Micron is always in my rotation. A minor complaint is that these pens are not meant to be reused (single use). These refill pens last until the last drop of ink. I've never had a single blockage or fracture.

I recently bought this pen looking for the 'perfect' affordable pen. Micron is pretty good but definitely not perfect for my needs. First of all good: The pen draws clear lines, bold, even, without spots and streaks. The ink is archival quality, making it well suited for long-term use. The nib is very thin, so I can see it's great for fine drawing, fine writing, kanji, etc. Poorly? There is no speed on his side. The felt tip means I have to hold it a certain way to get it writing the way I…

I love these pens. I originally bought a pack of 6 of these pens but ended up falling in love with the thickness and wearing them out. Based on previous experience with these pens, they are durable, good quality and great for drawing! I will buy another one after this one is gone too!

I like ink; It doesn't bleed through Moleskine notebook paper and I was looking for something waterproof and smudge proof. But there are two things I don't like: The pen cap is short, which means the ridge on the barrel that the cap rests on is right where your fingers hold it. Due to the sharp edge, the pen feels uncomfortable in the hand. Secondly, it is difficult to put the cap on the back of the pen. Several times I thought I had put the lid back on only to have it fall to the floor.

I'm a graphic designer/artist and a total Micron junkie and always replenish when they run out are. Only once or twice did some of them dry out really quickly, and maybe it was because the lid accidentally came loose in my pocket, who knows. But overall, the Micron is essential in my drawing case. Size 03 is great for those little details but still bold enough to be seen and get the job done. Whether you are new to lettering/hatching/etc. or are a professional, Micron is a good choice.
