Paint marker set POSCA PC-5M, 8 pastel colors, medium bullet tip

POSCA PC-5M is a set of eight pastel paint markers with a medium bullet tip designed for consistent lines and area filling. These opaque, water-based pigment markers deliver durable pastel tones on a wide range of surfaces including paper, cardboard, wood and ceramics. The medium bullet tip provides controlled stroke width suitable for illustration, craft details and decorative accents while pigment-based, lightfast ink ensures even coverage and good opacity on both light and dark backgrounds.

Advantages

The set combines eight coordinated pastel shades that mix and layer well without bleeding through most papers. Water-based, odorless pigment ink dries to a matte finish and is water-resistant when dry, offering stable coverage for long-lasting results. The medium bullet tip balances precision and filling ability, making the markers suitable for both line work and broader strokes. Markers are refillable and have a replaceable nib when used according to manufacturer guidance, extending their useful life.

Suitable for

• Illustration and sketching with pastel tones
• Paper and cardboard craft projects, scrapbooking

How to use

Shake each marker thoroughly before use to mix the pigment evenly and press the tip down on a scrap surface to activate the flow until the ink saturates the nib. Apply with steady pressure for even lines or use broader strokes to fill areas. For best results on non-porous surfaces such as ceramics, clean and degrease the surface first. Allow the ink to dry fully; for added durability on items exposed to handling or moisture, follow any recommended surface sealing or curing steps appropriate to the substrate.

Usage recommendations

Store markers horizontally to maintain even ink distribution and recap immediately after use to prevent drying. Test colors on a scrap piece of the same material before starting final work and allow sufficient drying time between layered passes to avoid smudging.
