SAKURA Pigma Micron 0.50-mm, 08 Ink Pen, Brown

I am an artist so I am constantly using watercolors but there are no markers which satisfy quality of waterproofing. But this one is an awesome marker. Definitely worth the money.

after 2weeks it's was not writing properly

I'll say many of the familiar things...archival safe, doesn't bleed, waterproof. The ink is fantastic. I've used a handful of different pens doing Zentangles and this is by far my favorite. The ink is a very INTENSE black and I've not found anything else that compares other than Copic multiliner. The Pigma Microns don't bleed through any papers I've ever used (including my Bible pages) and I love the fact that they dry quickly and then won't smear since I'm working in very small spaces where my hand will be rubbing over the ink again and again. Even if my hand gets a bit sweaty, no damage done. Lots of sizes, which is a must. In a year's time the only pen I have had to replace was the 05 which eventually ran out of ink, but it was used a LOT. They are very long lasting and because of that, are worth the price because they will not have to be replaced often. I've also stored these pens standing up or lying down and it doesn't seem to ever effect how they write, so they're good for on the go, bouncing around in a bag or whatever.BE AWARE - the numbers on the pens...01,05, etc are NOT the line widths. I didn't realize this right away. 005=0.20mm, 01=0.25mm, 02=0.30mm, 03=0.35mm, 05=0.45mm, 08=0.50mm. For most people this won't matter much, the size graduates larger with the numbers and that's enough.For those that need some more diversity, The Copic Multiliners have the same intense black ink and look identical even when used in the same project with the Pigma Microns. They have several SMALLER tip sizes, a 0.05mm and a 0.1mm. and two LARGER sizes 0.5mm and 0.8mm. Between the two brands they've got every possibility covered.

This pen is absolutely fantastic, it has renewed and turbocharged my interest in handwriting.Throughout the years, I used a great variety of ballpoint/rollerball pens, most of the time with bad results. This created frustration towards the very idea of handwriting. Almost every pen would skip, smudge, randomly stop when you need it the most. Enter the Pigma Micron. Finally, someone made a pen that actually works. What's so good about it?-The ink flow is perfectly consistent. Your lines will be uniform and not tinged with empty spaces. No ballpoint in the world can match this.-The lines are bold and gorgeous looking, but not overwhelming. It's almost like a print from a computer.-The pen will never overflow, even if you stop while touching the paper.-There is very little friction while writing, so using it feels more like a relief rather than an effort.-The pen is practically insensitive to hand pressure. No more pressing the pen like hell trying to get ink out of it.-It won't smudge, at least not during normal writing. It will if you do it intentionally.So, there you go. Really, the only downside is realizing I wasted so much of my life with ugly bic pens, and their more expensive equivalents. Try the other sizes too!

Love this mascara. It stays on very nicely and looks great. It doesn't clump easily.

I was looking for an archive pen to write on a very special and custom made Kettubah made out of Verona Giclée Fine Art Paper so that it lasts for a long time if not forever and came across this one. I was told the only pen to use with it must have be for archival with fade resistant ink. This pen didn't disappoint me. The writings are still in perfect condition as if it was made yesterday. The ink didn't fade nor leaked to the surrounding areas of the writing either even though the paper has some texture on it. Overall, this is a great pen and I highly recommend it for important documents and archival purposes.
