A Posca art pen is basically an odourless, water-based and water resistant pigment ink marker for most surfaces. It is very popular amongst artists, designers, calligraphers, illustrators and creative hobbyists. It is used by amateurs and professionals on all types of materials, hence its versatility and compatibility to use with other mediums. The acrylic paint is contained in a hard, hand held plastic tube with a polyester fibre applicator nib. Various shaped nibs are available, so you can always choose the right nib for the right project! Uni-ball POSCA Markers contain highly pigmented water based pigment ink that produce poster-like, vibrant and vivid colours. Once applied they are opaque and will dry like acrylic paint. Posca markers are water-resistant.
Yes. They are lightfast and water resistant and will write on virtually any surface from glass, primed canvas and wood, to paper and metal without any bleed. Once dry, the opaque colours can be completely covered with a new paint application, working colour over colour. Also, Posca markers are amazing for laying down opaque blocks of vivid colours next to each other. A graphic designers dream medium.
Whilst still wet, the acrylic marker paint can be diluted with a little water to create washes, either directly on the substrate or in a palette. Paint can also be blended when wet on the substrate to create new colour combinations.
Uni-ball Posca markers are lightweight and easy to transport, they can be used for painting indoors or outdoors. Take them on holiday or sketching days out. Using Posca art pens will allow you to start and finish a painting in one sitting as there is a very short window on drying times, only a few minutes at the most!
Water resistant Uni-ball Posca Markers are the ideal medium for customising many of your favourite objects such as skateboards, bedroom doors, bedroom walls, mobile phones, mirrors, lampshades, trainers, denim jacket, leather jacket, water-bottles, your bicycle and a whole host of other objects.

New art pens, releasing the Paint!
Before using your new Uni-ball POSCA pen, you will need to shake your pen vigorously to mix the paint inside the tube. Then dab and press your new POSCA a few times to enable the flow of paint to impregnate the fibre tip/nib. Don't flood the nib too much, or the paint will pool and flood on the surface. As soon as you see the paint being loaded into the nib, stop pressing down.
Once you can see the paint in the nib, do some tests on a spare piece of paper. Use a paper towel for any excess paint. Whilst waiting to use between colours, stand your pen (vertically with the lid on) on a flat surface with the fibre tip down. This will ensure your nib is fully loaded with pigment. If needed, you can shake your marker (with the lid on), between applications.
When you are finished using your POSCA markers they must be stored with the cap firmly on. Most POSCA pens can be stored vertically or horizontally, apart from the brush-tipped Posca which should be stored horizontally if possible.
If your tip becomes damaged, it can be turned around or even replaced with a new tip bought separately.
Reversible tips: PC-3M and PC-5M
Replaceable tips: PC-1MC, PC-3M, PC-5M, PC-7M, PC-9K, PC-17K.
