Sakura Micron Pn

[Chouffleur]

I don't sketch but I thought this might be of interest to those who do and who also use the same pen for journaling.

 

"Well, Sakura has just delivered. The new Pigma Micron PN (“PN” stands for “Plastic Nib”) fills this void — it is a brilliant pen for writing that exceeds even my ridiculously high expectations. Same ink density, same color choices as the traditional Pigmas, but the new plastic nib works perfectly as a writing instrument. No skipping, even when the tip is moved quickly across the page, and it writes as well when held at an angle as when held in a near-vertical illustrating position. And best of all, the plastic nib is virtually indestructible, so no problem with splayed tips like the traditional Pigmas."

Coincidentally I was just reading about the new PN Pigma Microns. The traditional Pigmas are my preferred drawing pen because the nibs are robust (if you don't use too heavy a hand) and the lines stay true to size. I love the feedback from the page you get with their tips and the ink is great. But they aren't really made for writing at length so I'm interested to see how the PNs perform in that respect.

Chouffleur,

 

Thanks for the post. I'm looking forward to using these archival-ink pens for journalling.
