Sakura Pigma Micron 005 8 Color Set Water Based Pigment for Illustration - Holiday Gifts for Artists, Crafters & DIY Gifts Projects

Very happy. The markers are rich in pigment and super-fine. I am planning to use them with my watercolors, but they’re also great for doodling and sketching. The caps are nice and tight too. And it doesn’t bleed through very thin paper, just as promised. It glides smoothly on the paper.

I purchased these pens a couple months ago for writing in my Bible after reading that they dry quickly and do not bleed through. They have been better than I hoped making crisp, thin lines, no bleed through, not smudging, etc. But I went to use a couple colors this morning that I hadn't used in a bit, and they were completely dry. I tried shaking the ink down, but I got nothing. They are right that the ink dries quickly, but for me that also applied to ink still in the pens. All pens have been stored at normal temperatures, with caps fully closed, and with tips facing down. I've reached out to support, so we'll see what happens...EDIT: Changed to 5 stars due to quality of support. 3 of the 8 pens no longer function, but they're sending an entire replacement set. They also offered multiple tips in caring for the pens to get the longest life out of them. 5 star product when they work, and 5 star support in the off chance they don't.

They are perfect whether for drawing, drafting or fling out a planner

I love these pens! They are perfect for Bible journaling, which is what I use them for. They do not bleed through the thin pages of my Bible. I like that they come in varying pen head sizes and colors; yet they are all still fine point. I like the way they write. They have a smooth flow of ink. They do not leak ink. I don’t notice that a smear. If you are an artist, a doodler or a journaler of any kind, you will want these pens!

I prefer to sketch with a pencil and color with pens or markers. But I read such great reviews about these pens, I wanted to try them out. The lines and marks seem perfect every time. I mean the fine lines appear faultless with precision. The colors are bold and flow evenly. I may be a leisurely artist, but these pens made a huge difference. I absolutely love these pens for drawing!

I bought this set for Bible notations & notes. I’ve used & loved Sakura Pigma pens for many years. Normally, it’s a 5 star review of these pens, I took a star off because several of these pens arrived slightly dried out, sadly. They act like they’ve used for a while & need to be replaced soon, esp the green one. I think it’s because the end caps don’t seem fully in place. I push them down every time I use them. That’s not normal for these pens. I decided not to return them, but am very disappointed with quality of the set I received.These are perfect for Bible notation, imho, because they don’t bleed through the pages & the extra fine tip makes it easy to write in small spaces. Also, they’re archival so no worries about fading or running if the page gets wet.

I have used these pens for years! They are my favorite for making notes or underlining in my Bible. The colors are perfect, and despite using them every day, they last for about 3 years. Knowing that a couple of my colors were starting to run out, I snatched these up when I saw the discounted price. Great value!

Love them
