Paint markers put opaque, water-based paint in a pen, so the colour shows up on black card and works on wood, glass, stone and plastic as well as paper.
We stock POSCA, with tips from the PC-1MR and PC-1M for fine lines and lettering, through the everyday PC-3M and PC-5M, to the PC-8K chisel for filling large areas.
Shake it with the cap on until you hear the ball rattle, then press the nib down on scrap paper a few times until the paint flows. Do this on scrap rather than your work, as the first flow can blot.
On paper, card and wood, yes, once dry. On glass and other smooth surfaces they can be scraped or washed off, which makes them useful for window art.
If you're buying one, the PC-5M (1.8 to 2.5mm) covers the most ground. Go down to the PC-3M or PC-1M for detail and lettering, and up to the PC-8K chisel for backgrounds. The 8-piece starter sets come in PC-3M and PC-5M.
Yes. Let the first colour dry and the next one sits on top without mixing, so you can put light colours over dark.
