Posca Paint Markers — the Most Versatile Tools

Uni Posca pens are perhaps the most versatile art tools available. They are water-based paint markers that work on paper, wood, glass, stone, metal, plastic, ceramic, leather and more. If you can hold a pen, you can use Posca.

What makes Posca special?

• Water-based acrylic paint — Odourless and non-toxic. Suitable for children and adults.
• Opaque colours — The colours cover well, even on dark surfaces.
• Versatility — Works on almost anything: paper, wood, glass, stone, ceramic, metal, fabric, and more.
• Durable — Once dry, the colours are water-resistant on most surfaces.

Size guide

Posca pens come in different tip sizes to suit different projects:

• PC-1MR (0,7 mm) — The thinnest tip. Perfect for details, outlines and lettering. Also in gold and silver.
• PC-3M (0,9-1,3 mm) — A fine tip that works well for general use, lettering and medium-sized projects.
• PC-5M (1,8-2,5 mm) — A medium tip, great for general painting and filling in areas.
• PC-8K (8 mm) — A wide, flat tip. Suitable for large surfaces, wall signs and graphics.

Our sets

If you want to get started, a set is the best choice:

• 4-colour set (PC-3M, Mono) — Neutral tones: black, white, grey and silver.
• 8-colour set (PC-3M) — A classic starter set in a fine tip size.
• 8-colour set (PC-5M) — The same colour range in a medium tip size — better if you paint larger surfaces.

Project ideas

1. Rock painting — Collect smooth stones and paint pictures, words or patterns. A great family project.
2. Christmas decorations — Paint glass baubles, wooden ornaments or porcelain hearts.
3. Clothing — Paint on trainers, laptop bags or jackets (use heat-setting to fix the paint).
4. Glass art — Paint on jars, wine glasses or mirrors (washable after baking in the oven).
5. Wall décor — Paint directly onto walls, wooden boards or canvas.

Tips

• Shake the pen well with the cap on until you hear the ball rattle. Then press the tip down a few times to get the paint flowing.
• For a smoother finish, apply two thin coats rather than one thick one.
• On smooth surfaces, you can wipe it off and start again if you're not happy.
• Store the pens horizontally to distribute the paint evenly.
