Posca Paint Pens PC-5M Bullet-Tip Set – 8 Assorted Colours

Posca paint pens set Australia | PC-5M 1.8 – 2.5 mm bullet tip | acrylic paint markers for rocks, wood, fabric & beyond

Chasing a grab-n-go rainbow that’ll jump from bullet-journals to grip-tape without swapping tools? The Posca PC-5M 8-Pack – Assorted Colours bundles Posca’s hero medium nib with eight hard-working colours, White, Black, Red, Pink, Blue, Light Blue, Yellow and Green, giving you instant primaries, secondaries and clean tints for sketching, lettering or colour-blocking.

Inside every barrel, water-based, highly pigmented ink pumps out smooth, opaque strokes that sit bright on porous surfaces (wood, stone, canvas, cotton) yet wipe off slick ones (glass, metal, plastic) with a shot of alcohol. Colours stay light-fast, won’t bleed through paper, and dry touch-safe in under two minutes to a velvety matte film that loves layering; drop a little water before the skin sets and you’ll pull dreamy washes and blends straight on the page.

The PC-5M’s 1.8 – 2.5 mm bullet tip steers tight enough for hand-lettered headers, broad enough for chunky fills, and flips end-for-end to double its lifespan, no clogged markers in the bin. Shake, prime, draw, zero solvent fumes, full pigment pop, dispatched same-day from Art Shed’s Melbourne warehouse.

Artist Insights from the Shed Team

Sarsh (Art Shed): “These Poscas are ultra-pigmented and glide on just about any surface. I layer them in my junk journals, then jump straight to customising my skate decks with them. My Fine-liners glide right over the paint really well . They’re the most versatile paint pens I’ve tried. If you're looking for an easy-to-use versatile, and pigmented pen, I'd give these a go”

Posca FAQs With Art Shed

How do you prime a Posca pen?
Shake vigorously, then pump the nib vertically on scrap until ink saturates.

Are Posca pens waterproof on rocks?
Yes—once dry, they’re water-resistant; seal with acrylic varnish for outdoor use.

What’s the difference between PC-1MR, PC-3M and PC-5M?
PC-1MR 0.7 mm ultra-fine; PC-3M 0.9–1.3 mm fine bullet; PC-5M 1.8–2.5 mm medium (this set).

Do Posca pens bleed on fabric?
No—on pre-washed cotton, they sit on the fibre; heat-set for laundry-safe art.

Are Posca pens non--toxic?
Yes, they’re water-based, xylene-free and EN 71-3 certified child-safe.

Do Posca markers wash out of clothes?
If the fabric hasn’t been heat-set, most of the pigment will rinse out with warm water and detergent if you act fast, though bright colours can leave a light ghost stain on cotton blends. Wash ASAP for the best chance of removal.

Are Posca markers permanent on clothes?
They become reasonably permanent once you let the ink dry for 24 h and then heat-set it (5 minutes with an iron on medium, no steam, cloth barrier). After that, colours survive normal cold washes, but avoid high-heat tumble-dry cycles to prolong vibrancy.

What not to do with Posca markers?

Don’t press the nib down continuously, over-pumping floods ink and wrecks lines.

Don’t store pens nib-down; ink can pool and clog.

Don’t add water or solvent to the barrel; it ruins pigment balance.

Don’t leave the cap off, tips dry hard in minutes.

How long do Posca pens last?
A PC-5M typically lays down about 300–500 metres of line. Shelf life is several years if you cap them tightly; flip or replace the nib when it shows fibre wear to squeeze out every drop.

Are Posca markers waterproof on glass?
Yes—after the paint cures (20 min) it’s water-resistant and won’t smudge with a damp cloth. However, you can still scrape it off or remove it with alcohol or window cleaner, so seal with a clear spray varnish if you need true permanence.
