Designed for artists, illustrators, designers, students, hobbyists, and professionals, POSCA markers combine highly pigmented opaque ink with exceptional versatility, making them suitable for almost every creative project.

The highly opaque ink writes beautifully on both light and dark surfaces without bleeding through most papers, allowing every design to stand out with exceptional colour intensity.

POSCA markers are compatible with an extensive range of materials including paper, cardstock, sketchbooks, canvas, wood, MDF, glass, mirrors, ceramics, metal, plastic, stone, leather, fabric, terracotta, and many other creative surfaces. Whether you're creating fine illustrations, decorating home décor, customising shoes, painting mugs, designing signs, or adding vibrant details to craft projects, POSCA offers consistent performance and professional-quality results.

The unique paint formula allows colours to be blended while wet, layered once dry, and mixed to create beautiful artistic effects. Available in multiple tip sizes—from extra fine to extra broad and flexible brush tips—Uni POSCA markers provide precise control for technical drawing, lettering, colouring, outlining, and large-scale artwork.

FAQ Section

Q1. What is a Uni POSCA marker?

Uni POSCA is a premium water-based paint marker featuring opaque pigment ink that works on a wide variety of surfaces including paper, wood, glass, plastic, fabric, metal, ceramic, and canvas.

Q2. Are Uni POSCA markers waterproof?

Once dry, POSCA ink becomes permanent on most porous surfaces. On non-porous surfaces such as glass or plastic, permanence can be increased by applying an appropriate sealant.

Yes. POSCA markers use a non-toxic, water-based pigment formula with low odour, making them suitable for educational and creative use under adult supervision.

Yes. POSCA markers work well on fabric. Heat-setting the design with an iron (following fabric care instructions) can improve durability.

Q5. Can I blend colours?

Yes. Colours can be blended while the paint is still wet to create gradients and artistic effects.

Q6. Do POSCA markers work on black paper?

Yes. The highly opaque pigment ink provides excellent coverage on dark and coloured surfaces.
