Paint marker set uni-ball POSCA PC-5M 8pc assorted colours, medium tip, water-based pigment

uni-ball POSCA PC-5M 8pc Assorted Starter Pack is a set of eight water-based pigment paint markers with a medium bullet tip (approximately 1.8–2.5 mm). The pack includes black, blue, green, pink, red, violet, white and yellow. These markers produce opaque, vivid colour that adheres to paper, cardboard, wood, ceramics and many other porous and non-porous surfaces, and the reversible medium tip provides a clear, precise line for writing, drawing and decorating.

Advantages

The water-based pigment ink is opaque, lightfast and covers well on a variety of surfaces while remaining easy to clean from non-porous materials. The medium PC-5M tip delivers consistent ink flow and a defined line width suitable for both detail work and broader strokes. A wide range of available colours and the reversible tip add practical flexibility for creative projects, professional mock-ups and surface customisation. The markers are user-friendly for beginners yet meet the needs of professionals who require predictable coverage and colour rendering.

Suitable for

• Illustration, sketching and graphic work on paper and cardboard
• Surface decoration on wood, stone, concrete and ceramics

How to use

Shake each marker well before use to mix the pigment. Press the tip gently on a test surface to start the ink flow, then apply with steady pressure for uniform coverage. For fine lines, use the tip point; for broader strokes, angle the marker to use more of the bullet side. On non-porous surfaces, allow the ink to dry fully; if necessary, multiple layers can be applied for increased opacity, allowing each layer to dry between applications. Store horizontally when not in use to preserve even ink distribution within the marker.

Usage recommendations

Use on clean, dry surfaces for the best adhesion. For long-term durability on non-porous items exposed to handling or weather, consider a compatible clear sealer after the paint has fully dried. Test colour and adhesion on a small area before applying to the final surface.
