SAKURA Pigma Micron Assorted Pens, Pack of 6, Black

Product Information

The Pigma ink contained in these Pigma Micron pens was perfect for drafting work and was incredibly long-lasting. The Sakura Micron pen that draws the thinnest line is the Sakura Micron 05, which draws a 20 mm line. The development of the Sakura Pigma Pen was an application of that technology that was aimed at architects and others involved in drafting work.

The pens are disposable, so no refills are available. They are simply a “ use and then throw away” product, making them a problem for those that care about the environment.The real leap forward was when Sakura found a way to breakdown the particles in the pigments so that they could pass through ultra-narrow nibs. The company was disappointed with the failure of these crayons to mix or overlay and started to look for new products that would be better. By 1924 they had come up with the very first oil-pastel. The particles (pigments) inside Pigma ink are so small that they can flow through very small apertures.

The Pigma Micron offers smooth, skip-free writing and crisp ink with consistent lettering and Lines every time.The company remained in the art materials market. It continued development work, which ultimately led to a new ink product which they called Pigma Ink.
