POSCA PC-1MR by POSCA — set of 8 basic colors contains eight water-based acrylic paint markers with a fine 0.7 mm bullet tip designed for accurate, opaque lines and detailed work. The PC-1MR tip produces consistent, thin strokes suitable for writing, outlining, small illustrations, photo retouching, scrapbooking and precise craft details. The paint is pigment-rich, dries to a matte finish on many surfaces and is formulated to be permanent on porous substrates while remaining blendable when still wet.
Advantages
The POSCA PC-1MR markers combine a fine, durable 0.7 mm tip with water-based, low-odor acrylic ink that delivers opaque coverage on paper and many other surfaces. The markers are refillable at the paint level within the POSCA system and can be layered or mixed when wet to achieve subtle colour transitions. Their controlled flow and quick drying properties make them suitable for both detailed hobby work and precise professional applications.
Suitable for
- Detailed illustration and line work
- Hand lettering and outlining on paper and cardstock
- Photo retouching, scrapbooking and journaling
- Small craft details on porous materials
- School projects and hobby applications
When it may not be suitable
These markers are designed primarily for fine, detailed work; they are not intended for broad coverage or large-area painting where broader tips or brushes are more efficient. On non-porous, glossy surfaces the ink may take longer to adhere and can be more easily removed unless sealed appropriately.
Key specifications
- Tip type: fine 0.7 mm bullet tip
- Ink type: water-based acrylic, pigment-rich
- Finish: matte when dry on many surfaces
- Number of markers in set: 8 (basic colors)
- Suitable surfaces: paper, cardboard, porous craft materials, photos (with care)
- Opacity: high on porous surfaces; blendable when wet
How to use
Shake each marker well before use to mix the pigment and activate the ink flow. Depress the tip repeatedly on a test surface until the paint flows evenly. Work with light, controlled strokes for fine lines and build up layers gradually for stronger colour. Allow each layer to dry before applying additional layers or sealing. For non-porous surfaces, test adhesion and, if needed, apply a suitable primer or sealant after drying.
What to consider before purchase
- Tip size: 0.7 mm is intended for fine detail, not for filling large areas
- Surface type: best results on porous materials; test on glossy or non-porous surfaces
- Colour set: includes 8 basic colours—verify they match your project needs
- Drying and permanence: permanent on porous surfaces after drying, but may require sealing on non-porous items
Usage recommendations
Shake and activate each marker before use, work from light to dark, and test on a scrap piece of the intended surface. Store markers horizontally to maintain even ink distribution and cap tightly after use to prevent drying.
