Marker POSCA PC-5M Silver — single silver paint marker, medium 0.7–1.5 mm tip, Japan

POSCA PC-5M Silver is a single silver paint marker made in Japan for drawing, writing and decorating on paper, cardboard, wood and other porous surfaces. The marker features a medium bullet tip (approximately 0.7–1.5 mm) that delivers opaque metallic coverage suitable for accents, illustrations and small signage. The body is multicolour-bodied with silver pigment formulated to provide consistent, visible results on light and dark porous substrates.

Advantages

The POSCA PC-5M Silver combines a medium, durable bullet tip with an opaque metallic ink that adheres well to porous materials. Its Japan-made formulation gives steady flow and good coverage; the tip is designed for precise lines and controlled filling. The marker is single-colour and ready to use out of the box for crafts, illustration details, decorative accents and repairs on porous surfaces.

Suitable for

• Hand-drawn illustrations and highlights on paper and cardboard

How to use

Shake the marker vigorously with the cap on to mix the metallic pigment and ink. Press the tip down several times on a scrap surface to activate the flow until the ink reaches the nib and produces an even silver line. Use steady pressure for consistent strokes; reduce pressure to create thinner marks. For best results on porous or rough materials, test on a sample area first and apply multiple passes if a denser metallic effect is required. Replace the cap after use to prevent the tip from drying out.

Usage recommendations

Store horizontally or with the tip down for short periods to maintain immediate readiness. Allow each layer to dry between passes when building opacity. Avoid using on non-porous surfaces without prior surface preparation or a suitable primer, as adhesion and durability may vary.
