UNI POSCA PC-5M Marker – Creative Freedom on Any Surface
Looking for a tool that works equally well on paper, glass, or wood? The UNI POSCA PC-5M is a cult-classic marker that has become the standard for artists, decorators, and industry professionals. This red acrylic felt-tip pen combines the vibrancy of paint with the convenience of a marker format.
1. Versatility and Surface Compatibility
The biggest advantage of the POSCA PC-5M is its unique pigment formula. The water-based ink is exceptionally opaque:
- All Surfaces: Adheres perfectly to metal, glass, plastic, textiles, and even rough wood.
- Opacity: The color is solid and non-transparent, allowing you to layer light colors over dark ones (once dry).
- Durability: Once dry, the ink is fade and moisture resistant, ensuring your creations remain bright over time.
2. Precise 1.8–2.5 mm Tip
The PC-5M model features a medium bullet tip, which is the most popular choice on the market:
- Outlines and Filling: This thickness allows for both clear lines and smooth coloring of small to medium areas.
- Quality Fiber: The tip is durable, does not fray, and maintains its shape even when used on rough surfaces.
- Ergonomics: The barrel is designed to prevent hand fatigue even during long creative sessions.
3. Safe and Friendly Formula
UNI-BALL prioritizes safety. The ink is non-toxic and lacks the harsh odor typical of alcohol-based markers. This means it is safe for children to use at school, while professionals can work in enclosed spaces without discomfort.
