Sakura Pigma Micron 05 Black Pen 0.45mm Line Width Pack of 4 (05)

It feels like writing with a pencil (best way possible since you feel the contact but it glides). Less smears since it dried quickly. A bit dark so it may be visible through thinner paper. I wanted something that made me want to write and draw more. This is it. Given the low cost I have one placed in all my key use locations. For those who journal and want clean lines, this is it. Maybe try an even thinner tip or compare them at a pen shop first.

I’ve been using these pens for over 25 years and have always been (somewhat) pleased with the quality and the longevity. These.45’s are just right for writing but I use different tips for drawing and have always been just as pleased with every tip available. MY “SOMEWHAT” explanation : I HAVE noticed that the depth of black has diminished a little over the years….. I think that’s probably a cost reduction issue on their part but that’s been across the board for all lower cost “drafting pens” unless you go to a more costly Rapidograph which just isn’t something you carry in your pocket.

This is my favorite pen is the quality is most consistent. I use them for signing cards, drawing, outlining, etc. but they most recently worked out perfect for my wedding guest book. No smudging or bleeding through the pages. They are very smooth to write with! Huge bonus is the ink is archival quality ensuring these signatures will last for years

I use these pens for annotating my Bible readings. Bibles typically have thinner pages, and the ink of these pens set on the paper very nicely to avoid smears, bleeding, and the like. These write very clean, and I use black and red ink. Depending on your preference and your handwriting style, you may want to try smaller or larger sizes, but 05 is a pretty good middle ground in my view. Smaller sizes often produce cleaner more precise writing…but again, this is a personal preference.

I really like these pens. They're more advanced than I am, but I do pre-draw mind maps and such when I study, then revise on teh Surface pro. So they work great.

Nice pens. Be sure to replace the cap after each task as they tend to dry out.

I love the writing with this pen, however there is a slight bleed through. I also ordered the blue version which does not have the bleed through.

These pens are archival, therefore this is an important element when incorporating the black ink in my paintings. This size is perfect for both personal and works well with my designs.

I got these a few weeks. I was a little wary because of some negative reviews but all have been great. I've been cycling through each pen and all have good ink flow, colour and feel. I'm perfectly happy here.

I've purchased these pens multiple times. This is the only size I use and I really appreciate that you can get a four pack of them at a reasonable price vs. purchasing them individually. The tip never loses shape, they do not run and they give you a nice crisp edge.

I've used this make of pen for years and love it. Nice and fine, ink dries quickly, waterproof and brilliant for drawing.

Great pens and help make my handwriting more legible!

Lovely extra fine nib. Ideal for taking notes as ink fast flowing and no scratching or missing letters when writing fast. Best around.
