PHILOSOPHYFrom graffiti to fine art via illustration, street art, portraits and all forms ofcustomisation, POSCA now drives artistic expression in all users on allsurfaces.For temporary or permanent projects, POSCA offers a universal, accessiblelanguage that brings artists and amateurs together focusing on the samepassion - creativity!THE TOOLWATER-BASEDPAINT MARKERFOR ALL SURFACESPAINT: THE HEART OF POSCAVALUESVery rich in pigments, POSCA paint provides results of incomparable density.Its unique water-based formulation delivers bright, matte, opaque coloursthat withstand the passage of time. It has no odour. Layerable, mixable,water-soluble, weather-resistant no fewer than 55 colours (some withglitter, metallic or fluorescent) offer unlimited creative possibilities.THE TIP: THE LINK BETWEEN THE ARTIST AND THE ING ONposca.comThe POSCA range includes no fewer than eight sizes andfive different tip shapes. Made either of acrylic or plastic,they are all ultra-hardwearing and perfectly suited to theirrespective uses. The very high quality of the materialsused guarantees a stroke that is always perfectly smooth.The line is regular, the action is unique and the pleasureof creating with POSCA is unparalleled.THE BALL: THE SOUND SIGNATURE OF POSCATo ensure a consistent texture from beginning to end, a littleball is placed inside the marker to mix the ingredients ofthe POSCA paint. Just shake the marker energetically (withthe cap on), and you will hear its characteristic, soughtafter clicking!

USER GUIDETIPS1PREPARING YOUR POSCAVigorously shake the marker up and down withthe cap on. The ball inside, with its characteristicclicking, will thus homogenise the colour.2PRIME THE MARKERPress the tip several times on a spare piece ofpaper until the tip is completely filled with paint.Test it out to remove any excess paint, and you are readyto go!3RE-PRIMEIf the paint begins to flow less freely during use,shake the marker again, taking care to put thecap back on first to avoid paint splatter. Re-prime the tip,test it and off you go again!4DRYING TIMEIt is very quick, a few minutes at most! The paintgenerally dries faster on porous surfaces thanon smooth surfaces. You can correct any mistakes atany time: once the paint is dry, just paint another layerof POSCA over the top, which will completely cover thefirst!5STORAGEYour POSCA markers can be kept in any position aslong as the cap is put back on firmly after use. Theintegrated ball means the paint stored in the body of themarker can be re-mixed at any time. The POSCA brush tipis an exception. It should be stored in a horizontal position.posca.comMost POSCA tips are washable and replaceable (PC-1MC, PC-3M, PC-5M,PC-7M, PC-8K and PC-17K). Some are also reversible (PC-3M and PC-5M).If a tip ever dries out over time (for example if the cap was not put backon properly), you can soak it in a glass of water to be able to use it again.EFFECTSWATER SOLUBLEBefore the ink dries, use a brush that has been pre-soakedin water and work the paint directly on the material to getthe effect you want.MIXABLEAs long as the paint is still wet, colours can be mixed onthe work surface by blending with the tip or a rag to createinfinite gradations of colour.SUPERIMPOSABLEPOSCA paint’s high-density coverage is ideal for superimposing layers. Thanks to its fast drying time, layers can besuperimposed without smudging.BLOWINGFor a ‘spray’ effect, you can blow vigorously (and carefully!)on the tip of the POSCA after priming it with extra paint. Thistechnique, which we recommend you test beforehand, worksideally with the wider tips: PC-5M, PC-7M, PC-8K andPC-17K.
