Posca fluorescent PC5M - 4 colors
Posca fluorescent PC5M - 4 colors
Medium conical tip (1.8–2.5 mm)
POSCA PC-5M fluorescent: the color that reacts to light!
The PC-5M is the best-selling POSCA in the world, and it's no coincidence: its medium conical tip of 1.8 to 2.5 mm is the best compromise between detail and coverage. Fine enough for writing and outlining, yet generous enough to fill without spending the whole day. This pack offers the four fluorescent shades of the range: pink, red, orange, and yellow. A coherent warm range that works well in both separate flat applications and blended gradients. Water-based paint, odorless, rich in pigments, and highly covering. Solvent-free, washable with water before drying — usable in closed workshops, classrooms, and leisure centers.
Fluorescence, concretely:
A fluorescent paint is rich in fluorochromes, molecules that react to ultraviolet light. In daylight, natural light contains UV: the color appears brighter and more intense than a standard shade. This is the principle behind yellow vests and highway signs. Under black light, which is primarily UV, the effect is amplified: the color switches to neon mode. This allows a fine line to "light up" and gain depth in the darkness.
Tip: Add a line of white marker (or white gel pen, as shown in the photo) to create a stunning neon effect!
FAQ
How to activate the neon effect? With a black light (UV lamp), which amplifies the brightness of the paint. This is what is used in evening events, scenography, and galleries.
On what background should they be used? They stand out especially on dark backgrounds: black, slate, kraft, dark wood. On white paper, the fluorescent effect is real but less spectacular.
How to prime a new marker? Shake it with the cap closed, then press the tip several times on a test surface until the paint flows. Repeat when the flow weakens.
Do fluorescent colors glow in the dark? No, they are not phosphorescent: Fluorescent ≠ phosphorescent! A common confusion. Phosphorescent materials store light and then release it in complete darkness. Fluorescent materials need a UV source to react: they do not glow on their own in a dark room, but they become spectacular as soon as a black light is turned on.
Can it be used on fabric? Yes. Fix with an iron on the reverse side after complete drying, and then wash inside out at low temperature.
