POSCA Pigment Marker PC-5BR Brush, light pink, semi-flexible foam tip, stroke 1.0–4 mm, 1 pc

POSCA Pigment Marker PC-5BR Brush in light pink is a single water-based pigment marker with a semi-flexible foam brush tip that delivers strokes from 1.0 to 4 mm. The opaque, lightfast pigment ink provides consistent coverage on a wide range of surfaces including paper, cardboard, metal, glass and painted substrates. The reversible cap and steady ink flow make the marker suitable for illustration, hand-lettering, crafts, detailing work and mixed-media applications where a controllable brush effect and reliable opacity are required.

Advantages

The semi-flexible foam brush tip combines the control of a firm nib with the stroke variation of a brush, allowing thin hairlines and broader fills without changing tools. The water-based pigment formula is opaque and covers darker backgrounds while remaining resistant to fading on most surfaces. Reversible cap design reduces drying risk and the marker offers a consistent flow that supports even coverage during extended use.

Suitable for

• Illustration and sketching where variable line width is needed
• Hand-lettering and calligraphy with brush-style strokes
• Crafts, scrapbooking and card making on paper and cardboard
• Detailing and accenting on painted surfaces, metal and glass
• Mixed-media work where opaque, water-based pigment is preferred

When it may not be suitable

The PC-5BR is designed for many surfaces but may perform less predictably on highly porous or heavily textured substrates where ink absorption or feathering can occur. It is not formulated as a permanent industrial coating; adhesion and durability on exterior-exposed metal or untreated surfaces can vary and may require priming or a protective topcoat.

Key specifications

• Tip type: semi-flexible foam brush
• Stroke width: 1.0–4 mm
• Ink type: water-based opaque pigment
• Colour: light pink
• Suitable surfaces: paper, cardboard, metal, glass, painted surfaces
• Pack size: 1 piece

How to use

Shake the marker with the cap on to mix the pigment thoroughly, then press the tip down repeatedly on a test surface until ink flows evenly. Use light pressure for fine lines and increase pressure or angle to obtain broader strokes up to 4 mm. Allow pigment ink to dry before applying additional layers or a protective finish. Store horizontally or with the cap securely closed to maintain tip condition and consistent flow.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended surface and whether priming or sealing will be needed
• Required stroke range — 1.0–4 mm variable brush effect
• Colour match and opacity on the backgrounds you plan to use
• Single-piece pack versus multi-pack requirements

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the light pink pigment on a scrap of your working surface to confirm opacity and drying time. Use varying tip angles for calligraphy and fills, and consider a clear topcoat for items that will receive heavy handling or outdoor exposure.
