Product Information

Full details

The Posca 5M medium bullet-tip paint marker is an essential tool for illustrators, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts who require precision and opaque coverage across a variety of substrates. These water-based pigment markers offer a consistent 2.5mm line width and vibrant matte finish, making them ideal for both fine details and bold fills. While they perform flawlessly on porous materials like paper and wood, users should note that they require specific surface preparation or sealing to achieve long-term permanence on non-porous surfaces like glass or plastic.

FAQs

Can I use Posca markers on fabric?

Yes, they work well on most fabrics. For permanence, iron the fabric on the reverse side after the ink has dried.

Are these markers waterproof?

Once dry on porous surfaces, the ink is permanent and water-resistant. On non-porous surfaces, it requires a varnish to become waterproof.

Can I mix these colors?

Yes, while the ink is wet, you can blend colors directly on your project surface or on a palette.

Are these permanent on paper?

Yes, the pigment ink is permanent on all absorbent surfaces, including paper and card stock.

How do I make the ink permanent on glass?

Apply a clear acrylic varnish over the finished design once the paint has dried completely.

Can these be used by children?

Yes, the ink is non-toxic, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children to prevent mess.

Troubleshooting

The ink flow is inconsistent or scratchy.

Shake the marker vigorously for 30 seconds and depress the tip on a scrap surface to re-prime the valve.

The tip is dried out.

Remove the nib and soak it in clean, lukewarm water for a few minutes, then re-insert and prime the marker.

Ink is smearing on glass or plastic.

Ensure the surface is completely clean and oil-free, then apply a sealant spray once the ink has fully dried.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent paint flow from the valve mechanism
  • Highly opaque matte color payoff
  • Versatile tip size for various projects
  • Safe, non-toxic water-based formula
  • Excellent adherence on porous surfaces

Cons

  • Requires sealing or baking for permanence on non-porous surfaces
  • Not intended for use on skin
  • Limited color range in this 4-pack set

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the markers, shake them thoroughly with the cap on to mix the internal pigment. Press the tip down on a scrap piece of paper several times until you see the paint saturate the polyester nib.

For maintenance, always store the markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution. If the tip becomes dry or clogged, remove it and rinse it under cold water, or replace it if necessary. When finished, ensure the cap clicks shut firmly to prevent the water-based ink from dehydrating. On non-porous surfaces like metal or plastic, allow the ink to dry fully before applying a clear coat or varnish to protect the artwork.
