FAQs
Are POSCA markers permanent?
They are permanent on porous surfaces like paper and wood. On non-porous surfaces like glass or metal, they can be removed with water or a glass cleaner, though they can be made permanent with a clear sealer.
Can I use these on fabric?
Yes, they work well on fabric. It is recommended to heat-set the design with an iron (without steam) after the paint has fully dried for better wash-fastness.
Do I need to prime the marker every time?
No, typically priming is only required upon first use or if the marker has been stored for a long period.
Are these markers safe for children?
POSCA markers are non-toxic, making them safe for general use, though supervision is recommended for younger children.
Can I layer colors?
Absolutely. Once the first layer is dry to the touch, you can apply a second color directly on top without the colors bleeding together.
Troubleshooting
Ink flow is inconsistent or scratchy
Shake the pen again and re-prime the tip by pressing it gently against a hard, flat surface until the felt is saturated.
The tip has become clogged with dried paint
Remove the tip carefully and soak it in water for a few minutes, then let it air dry completely before reinserting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior precision for detailed illustration
- Excellent opacity on dark surfaces
- Works on almost any material
- Non-toxic and water-based formula
Cons
- Small ink capacity compared to thicker markers
- Tip can fray if applied with excessive pressure
- Requires frequent shaking to keep pigment mixed
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your POSCA 1M markers, shake the pen firmly with the cap on to ensure the internal mixing ball properly agitates the paint. Remove the cap and press the tip down on a scrap piece of paper several times until the felt fills with ink.
Compatibility Tip: Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if applying to fabric or delicate plastics to ensure the ink adheres as expected.
Care Instructions:
- Always store the markers horizontally to prevent the tip from drying out or becoming over-saturated.
- Keep the cap snapped tight when not in use.
- If the tip becomes dry, you can rinse it with cold water and allow it to dry before re-priming.
