SAKURA Pigma 50220 Micron Blister Card Ink Pen Set, Ass't Colors, PN 8CT

Great quality pens. Bought to write on wood and the color did not bleed. Limited colors but still a good assortment. The point is kind of narrow but it seems to be good for writing in small spaces.

It seems odd to get excited about a pen; it's like finding a really comfortable pair of socks and realizing what you've been missing out on all this time. I'd been looking for a pen that would write reliably (ball point pens can be so fickle about surface area) but also that would not smear or bleed through. I'm left-handed, so the non-smearing is pretty important; I'm writing on both sides of paper in a book, so I really don't want the ink to bleed through. I also don't want the ink to leave imprints on the pages when I close the book. These pens have been amazing. I've had them for a few weeks and so far I've not had any issues of leakage and whatnot that some others have reported. The "blue" ink is so dark it's almost black; I'd have preferred a bit lighter blue, but that's a very minor point. I wouldn't have expected it prior to purchasing them, but I find myself using the brown pen most of all. It's a very dark brown, but using it in a Moleskine-style book it just looks and feels so very tactile and analog. I'd mentioned a couple of the colors; I got the 6-pack, which came with black, brown, blue, purple, red, and pink. I think the purple and pink options are interesting, as opposed to a green; it does seem like I really got 2 primary colors that each have 3 variations - a black that comes in black, brown, or blue; and a red that comes in red, purple, or pink. That's okay, though. I didn't have a pressing NEED for significant color variation, I just wanted to have multiple pens and a bit of differentiation. If you're needing significant variance though, i'd recommend the larger pack with more color options. The cap fits securely over the pen tip when not in use; when in use, it took me a few uses to realize that the cap *does* snap onto the top of the pen quite securely, there's just not a lot of surface space for it so if you don't feel it snap on, it's not on good. After a few uses I quickly became accustomed to securing the cap on the pen top during use. Overall I'm extremely impressed with these pens and will definitely be purchasing more in the future. Updated 3/7/2019: I'd originally stated the pen's color was not on the cap. This is an error, so I've removed that part of my review. The cap has a disc at the top which indicates the color; however, like the inks themselves, they can be difficult to discern between black/brown/blue. They're also only visible from the very top of the cap, while the back end of the pen's color indicator is visible from almost any angle.

LOVE these Micron Pigma pens and the plastic nib is perfect. The colors are bright and the ink is smooth. Amazon shipping is the best. Great deal all around.

Sakura knocked it out of the park with this set of PN pens! The fine-tipped nib is not as fragile and can stand up to heavier use. Now I have one in every color! The PN pens feel smooth going onto the paper and are the same exact size as my other pigma micron pens. I can grab it for easier inking in, or hand it to a kid and teach them to draw with excellent quality tools and never have to worry about those needle-ended tips problems in accidentally ungentle hands! The colors are saturated and consistent, plus, you can use watercolors over them without fear of them washing away. I've been experimenting with some combinations, it's been so much fun. I hope you enjoy your new set as much as I'm enjoying mine!

I saw the review saying that these were fake and I can confirm they are not. I compared them to the black PN (on left in first photo) I got from an art store that was included in a pack of multiple different sized micron sakura liners. These are very much real and amazing to line my work and doodles with. They are easy to hold and make the finest lines. I definitely recommend these to all level artists.

I’ve been using these for years. For journaling, drawing, really everything. They don’t bleed, and the tips are incredible. Love!

I've been using this in my journaling Bible and so far so good. I don't think this would work in a "regular" Bible with the thin pages that Bibles are normally printed on. But for a journaling Bible (with the cream-colored thicker pages), this works. Slight shadow on the other side, but I'm still able to write on both sides of the sheet.

I like how thin the .005s and .003s are, but they are precariously delicate. These PNs are thin enough, roll really well from every angle, and I will say: I'm a fan. I do miss the green, but I won't subtract a star.

Excelentes estilografos, la punta permite realizar linea delgada o mas gruesa. Serian genial contar con una mayor gama de colores.

I bought these to do Zentangles with but have found myself using them for all sorts of things. I love the colours of the ink, I just wish there was a green, and a Turquoise blue as I would use those colours a lot!

Pedi la version PN, que son las que no tienen una punta de metal sino que es mas gruesa y como de plastico, yo no escribo con mucha presion y me encanta lo delgado de las lineas, ademas si quiero lineas mas gruesas puedo hacer presion para engrosar esta linea, sin miedo a que se deformen, hasta ahora me han servido muy bien, las uso unicamente para escribir y me encantan. Yo no tuve problemas de que llegaran secas ni nada, llegaron en excelente estado. En caso de que lleguen secas el proceso de devolucion con amazon es muy sencillo y te las reenvian sin mayor problema!

My daughter has liked the the product for her artwork

great pens, much more sturdy than the regular sakura pigmas! Which they came out with more colours but happy with this set. Great for bullet journaling and art products. In my experience these don't smear to highlighter, water colour paint/water, or to alcohol based markers. They're the gold standard for fine liners!
