PigmaSakura Micron - Pigment Fineliners 0.3Mm Black [Pack Of 3]

I use these pens to outline my watercolor paintings…….mostly cards.

I use these with moleskin journals for work notes, running journals, and hobby notes. These don’t smear and they last forever.

I use these pens to produce Zentangle art. They don't bleed or smear. I have ordered them many times over the last five years. They continue to be excellent art pens.

For small, controlled writing, these are great pens. I have been writing letters and these perfect. I've noticed all of them are not created equal but overall happy.

These pens are excellent and do not bleed through thin Bible paper.

I like this brand of ink pen for drawing. The size was perfect for some current drawing projects

I teach a weekly online art class for students 5-10 years old. We did a colored paper/ line drawing art piece which would be particularly susceptible to smears of young hands. Everyone did a GREAT job with no smudges and no tears.

I make many cards with handwrittenmessages. I love the fine quality thatthese pens deliver. I’ve tried otherbrands, but in my opinion they do not compare.

Je connaissais déjà le produit voilà pourquoi je l'ai de nouveau acheté.

4 stars was my compromise between how I felt for what I used the pen for, and how I feel about it as a pen in general.I went seeking out a pen to potentially replace my Pilot Fineliners, my past favourite pen, because they smeared on the plastified playing cards I was writing on. I heard the issue was with the formulation of the ink, and I heard these Pigma pens might work as a substitute for their quick drying qualities.What I would do with my Pilots was to blow a fan on the ink for 15 minutes, then use a makeup pad to dab away excess ink, and then to apply some gentle friction with the pad to not transfer over to the plastic sleeves I was going to put them in after. This image doesn't show how bad the Pilot can get, it mainly does not transfer except for where the globs of ink are, ie. wherever you lift your pen.With gentle friction, the Pigma does better, whereas with the Pilots even gentle friction with fresh ink can be bad. However, with heavier friction, as shown in the image, there doesn't seem to be a limit to how much the ink will smear, and so for my scenario, it isn't a good replacement.One last thing I'll say, with the Fineliner I feel like my handwriting is a lot more flattering, while with the Pigma I feel it doesn't move in a straight line easily, like I am writing on a bus even though I'm perfectly steady.By no means does this pen deserve a 3-star grade though, I know people who live and die by this pen, so I am comfortable giving it a 4 star.Before hitting submit, I had the idea of demonstrating on some more conventional paper the difference. Both pens looks good, though the Pilot does leak across and through the paper, and also applying friction in the same way I did with the first test, both look unaffected, maybe Pilot is slightly affected.So, if you are writing on normal paper, then if you don't want smears, Pigma. If you want a smoother writing experience, Pilot. Hope that helps.

Je fais de l’aquarelle et ces crayons sont parfaits pour ça. Les différentes tailles permettent de varier les textures et traits. Par contre, ils s’usent très vite.

I really want to like these — I mean, I've owned Micron pens in the past — but I'm already having issues with mine. After two weeks of very light use (ie: 2-3 post-its a day), one of them (left on the picture) already writes like it's running out of ink. Tried a second one (right), and even this one feels a little dry compared to what I'm used to with Micron pens. I'm pretty disappointed, especially given the price. My cheap dollar store pens last longer than these. I wonder if I got defective pens.
