SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Journaling - Black Ink - 02 Point Size - 6 Pack

Love this an will not use anything else

Arrived as promised in good condition .

I've gotten back into cartooning and these pens, 005-08 are the best thing I've found.Ink dries fast, pens don't leak. Well made. Consistent.They work well with any paper I work with.

I'm left-handed and have small handwriting. The Sakura Micron 02 and 03 are my favorite pens. No smearing. Lines are dark. Thin enough for me to write small and legibly, but thick enough to have a bit of weight. No inconsistent ink output like I tend to get with gel pens. You can run highlighters over them, watercolors, paint, etc. and the ink doesn't run. Overall high quality with consistent results. I've tried lots of other pens, but I always come back to these.

I've used radiographs for years and spent a small fortune on them because they are expensive and are constantly clogging. The Micron pens eventually run out of ink, but it's less frustrating and cheaper than buying a rapidograph. Microns are easier to draw with, and most importantly they are waterproof, as is rapidograph ink.

I love the comfort and flow of these pens. I take a lot of hand written notes and these work great.

I use these with sketches and watercolor. They don't smear with watercolor and the ink stays black. I like the variety of tip sizes. Very reliable fineliners.

I've used these pens years ago as an art student, this was what's required for us to do sketching. I remember that I Looooooved these pens. So now I'm in search of a good pen for my planners I thought about this pen would be a nice option. I first ordered the 01 size in a single pack, because I wasn't sure what size I would like for my planner, it was a bit too skinny, if you are looking for a super fine point, those would be it. However, my real problem was it was dried out from the get-go, I could barely finish a one week spread on my planner before It went completely dried up. I contacted the seller to start a return process, it went through without a hitch, I printed out the return label, thinking it's gonna be a pain to find packaging and go to the post office to drop it off, then the seller contact it me instructing me to just toss. Which I appreciate, the so called FREE return/refund is not so FREE sometime since you have to find packaging, drop it off, and sometimes wait for them to inspect the item to refund your shipping. I'm sure a lot of you know what I'm talking about, it's not the amount of money sometimes, it's the time and effort spent, the inconvenience for something that shouldn't happen in the first place. Anyway, enough about the other order. So after that I decided I like the next size up which are these 02 size. I know I do like these pens from using it years ago so I feel confident that the last one was just a bad one, and I went ahead and placed a six pack order. The first one I pulled out, I had a bad feeling, it's just not the smooth full of ink feeling that you are supposed to get. Of course as time went on, the pen became really dried and it's just not pleasurable to use. I had to urge the start a return process immediately, but I thought I'll just try the other five for the sake of it. The other five was fantastic, exactly how I remembered them, very smooth, black, enjoyable to write with. Amazon does not give you a contact seller option, I thought it used to have it but for some reason I can't find it, so I can't talk to the seller about this problem. I don't want to do a full refund either, since only 1/6 of the product is bad. So I decided to come here and write a review. In conclusion, I do like the product itself, it's a great pen and they come in varies sizes. It's just it's a lottery sometimes, you have to be prepared to receive a bad batch. I give the product 5 stars if it's good, but the whole experience I give 3 stars since it's so inconsistent. At the end I added one star for the ease of the refund, and the fact that they didn't make me go through the trouble to physically return the product. Hope this helps you all.
