Marker POSCA PC-1MC Pastel set of 8 — fine bullet tip water-based pigment markers

POSCA PC-1MC Pastel set of 8 are fine bullet tip, water-based pigment markers engineered for precise, permanent opaque lines on paper, cardboard, illustration boards and mixed media surfaces. Each marker in the set delivers consistent pastel tones that are easy to control for detailed drawing, outlining, hand-lettering and small highlights. The low-odor, lightfast pigment ink provides good coverage on both dark and light backgrounds and dries quickly to reduce smudging.

Advantages

The fine bullet tip produces a clean, uniform 0.7 mm line ideal for fine details and delicate lettering. Water-based pigment ink is permanent on porous surfaces and offers strong opacity for visible contrast on various substrates. Quick-drying, low-odor formulation minimizes bleed-through and allows immediate layering or scanning. The compact set of eight complementary pastel shades gives a coordinated palette for consistent tonal work without extensive color mixing.

Suitable for

• Detailed illustration and line work on paper and illustration board

How to use

Shake each marker gently before use to ensure uniform pigment flow. Test the tip on a scrap of the working surface to check line width and coverage. Apply with light, even pressure for consistent 0.7 mm lines; increase pressure slightly for a bolder stroke where needed. Allow ink to dry fully before applying additional layers or scanning. Store horizontally when not in use to maintain tip moisture and ink balance.

Usage recommendations

For best results on porous papers and illustration boards, use the markers on clean, dry surfaces and allow each layer to dry before adding highlights. Avoid prolonged contact with non-porous glossy plastics without testing, and keep caps on when idle to preserve tip quality.
