Before You Buy

• The paint is permanent on porous surfaces, but stays removable on smooth glass, ceramic and metal until you seal it.
• The maker states POSCA nibs are reversible or replaceable on every model except the PC-1MR and PCF-350, so the PC-3M and PC-5M nibs can be turned when worn.
• Not the same as the PC-3M set of 16; check the model, tip and shade count before you order.
• Single POSCA markers in popular shades are sold separately if one colour runs out first.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many markers are in this POSCA PC-5M set?
16 markers in 16 assorted shades including black and white, all with the 1.8 to 2.5mm medium bullet tip.

Should I choose the PC-5M or the PC-3M set?
The PC-5M draws a 1.8 to 2.5mm line, the all rounder for fills and lettering; the PC-3M draws 0.9 to 1.3mm for finer detail.

Do POSCA markers work on rocks and glass?
Yes. They cover rock, glass, wood, canvas and paper; seal handled or outdoor pieces with a clear varnish so the paint stays put.

POSCA or an oil based paint marker: which should I pick?
POSCA is water based paint that layers once dry, so pick it for art on paper, canvas, rock and wood. Oil based markers such as the Snowman metallics grip glass and metal well but smell of solvent, so pick those for marking hard, shiny surfaces.
