What are fineliners?

Fineliners are precise writing instruments known for their thin and consistent lines, making them perfect for detailed work. They are ideal for everything from technical drawing and sketching to journaling and colouring. With their precise tips, you can create fine, uniform strokes, making them indispensable in any creative person's toolkit.

Tombow Mono Fineliners

Tombow is known for its high-quality writing instruments, and their fineliners are no exception. Tombow fineliners are perfect for both sketching and technical drawing, as they deliver precise and consistent lines without smudging.

Tombow fineliners are an excellent choice for those who demand both quality and reliability in their creative work.

Sakura Pigma Micron fineliners

Sakura is known for its innovation, particularly in drawing and writing instruments. Their Pigma Micron fineliners are especially popular among artists and illustrators. These fineliners are equipped with archival ink that is both acid-free, waterproof, and fade-resistant, meaning your drawings and sketches will retain their sharpness and colour for many years. Sakura Pigma Micron fineliners come in a range of different nib sizes, giving you the flexibility to work with both fine details and larger areas. At Plan & Plot Studio, you can find Pigma Micron and Pigma Micron PN.

The difference between Sakura Pigma Micron and Sakura Pigma Micron PN

When it comes to fineliners, Sakura Pigma Micron and Sakura Pigma Micron PN two popular choices among artists, illustrators and journalists. Although they both belong to the Sakura Pigma Micron series and share many of the same qualities, there are some important differences that can make one more suitable than the other depending on your needs.

Sakura Pigma Micron

Sakura Pigma Micron is known for its precision and is equipped with a fine, firm nib that is available in several different sizes (from 0.15mm to 0.7mm). This fineliner is ideal for detailed work, technical drawing, and illustrations where precise lines are essential. Pigma Micron uses Sakura’s renowned archival ink, which is acid-free, waterproof, and lightfast, meaning your drawings and sketches will retain their sharpness and colour over time. This fineliner is perfect for detailed illustrations where every single line counts.

Sakura Pigma Micron PN

The Sakura Pigma Micron PN (Plastic Nib) differs from the traditional Micron due to its tip, which is made of durable plastic. This tip is designed to be more robust and long-lasting, making it ideal for everyday use, particularly for journaling, writing, and other projects that require a versatile pen. The Micron PN offers a slightly thicker line but with a flexibility that allows the user to vary line weight by changing pen pressure (0.4-0.5mm). It is as precise as the regular Micron but with a tip that is more resistant to wear, making it a great choice for those seeking an all-round fineliner.

Which one will you choose?

The choice between the Sakura Pigma Micron and the Pigma Micron PN depends on your needs. If you work with detailed illustrations where fine and precise lines are crucial, the traditional Pigma Micron is the best choice. However, if you are looking for a more robust pen for daily use that still delivers high quality and the ability to vary line weight, the Pigma Micron PN would be the ideal choice. Both pens offer the same high quality of archival ink that Sakura is known for, so whichever you choose, you can be sure of getting a pen that delivers durable and professional results.
