Uni POSCA PC-1MR Paint Marker 0.7mm Soft Pastel Colors - Set of 8

POSCA PC-1MR is the ultra-fine member of the POSCA paint marker range, with a 0.7mm fibre tip protected in a metal sleeve for sharp, controlled lines. This set gives you 8 soft pastel shades of POSCA's water-based pigment ink, opaque enough to show clearly on both light and dark surfaces. The ink is permanent on porous surfaces like paper and wood, and wipes off non-porous surfaces like glass and metal while wet. The photo shows white, soft yellow, apricot, pink, rose, lilac, light blue and turquoise; exact shade names can vary, so check the pack. These are fine detail markers, not broad fill pens, so for large areas you would pair them with a wider POSCA nib. Made in Japan.

Key Features

• 0.7mm extra-fine metal-clad tip: sharp, even lines for outlines, lettering and tiny details, and it works neatly with stencils.
• Eight soft pastel shades: gentle, muted tones that layer over each other once dry for highlights and accents.
• Water-based opaque pigment: covers on light and dark paper, card, wood, glass and stone, so one set suits many craft surfaces.
• Specs in brief: Uni POSCA PC-1MR, 0.7mm extra-fine tip, set of 8 pastel colours, water-based non-toxic pigment ink, made in Japan.

Where You Can Use This

• Fine detail, outlines and signatures on illustrations and paintings.
• Hand lettering, journaling and planner work in soft pastel tones.
• Card making, scrapbooking and gift tags.
• Adding highlights and details on rocks, wood, glass and ceramics.
• Neat labelling and decoration on dark or coloured card where pastels stand out.

How to Use POSCA Markers

1. With the cap on, shake the marker so the mixing ball rattles and the pigment blends.
2. Uncap and press the tip on scrap paper several times to prime it until the colour flows.
3. Draw or letter on your surface; the line stays a consistent 0.7mm.
4. Let it dry to an opaque, water-resistant finish before layering another colour on top.
5. On glass or metal, wipe wet mistakes away with a damp cloth before they set.
