FAQs

Can I use the Posca PC-8K on fabric?

Yes, you can use it on fabric. To make the ink permanent on fabric, iron the design on the reverse side.

Is the ink waterproof?

Yes, the ink is waterproof once it has dried. However, the permanence varies by surface type.

How do I remove Posca ink?

On non-absorbent surfaces, you can usually remove the ink with a scraper or a damp cloth before it dries. Once dry, it may require a solvent depending on the surface.

Can I use the PC-8K for fine details?

While the PC-8K is a broad chisel tip marker, you can use the edge of the chisel tip for some finer details. However, it's best suited for broader strokes.

What should I do if my marker tip gets damaged?

The tip is replaceable. You can purchase replacement tips for the PC-8K.

How do I make the ink permanent on glass?

To make the ink permanent on glass, bake it in an oven at 160°C for 45 minutes, then spray with clear varnish.

Is the ink safe for children?

Yes, the ink is water-based, odorless, and non-toxic, making it safe for children. However, supervision is always recommended.

Troubleshooting

Marker won't write

Shake the marker well with the cap on. Press the tip down on a surface several times to prime it. If the tip is clogged, clean it with a damp cloth.

Ink is too light or faded

Ensure you are using the correct surface preparation for permanence. Apply multiple coats, allowing each to dry before applying the next.

Ink bleeds through

Ensure the surface is non-porous or suitable for Posca markers. Apply lighter coats to prevent bleeding.

Marker dries out quickly

Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use. Store markers horizontally.
