Pigma Pigma® ink, invented by Sakura over 30 years ago, continues to be the most reliable permanent ink on the market today. Artists, consumers, the government, and scientists consider Pigma Micron® a necessary basic tool for any archival-quality, handwritten project. This permanent, fade resistant, chemically stable, pigment-based ink will not bleed or run if liquids are spilled on or applied to the document after the ink has dried. Perfect for legal situations, Pigma ink is nearly impossible to alter on documents, in log books, or on checks. Architects, archivists, anthropologists, entomologists and laboratories depend on Pigma Micron for record keeping. Manga artists, professional illustrators and watercolorists use the range of point sizes to create precision lines. Scrapbookers and crafters value its archival quality for preserving memories in journals, and notebooks. Use Pigma Micron to leave a mark that will last a lifetime. When artists want dark, bold pen strokes that last, they turn to Pigma Graphic and archival Pigma ink. The three large pen nibs are designed to meet the specific needs of illustrators, cartoonists, and manga artists by enabling a broad range of illustration techniques. The 1mm bullet nib is ideal for shading, texturing or filling in large areas. The 2mm and 3mm level chisel nibs can make both thin and thick lines to achieve stylized strokes and creative lettering. Sakura Color Products invented and patented Pigma ink in 1982. This special formulation of pigment-based ink molecules is more chemically complex and 100 times larger than dye molecules. This makes Pigma ink less susceptible to UV rays, chemical degradation, and pollution from contact with oils and other chemicals. Pigma ink has become the standard for what is defined as reliable, permanent, archival quality ink.
