FAQs

What surfaces can I use the PC-3M on?

The PC-3M can be used on a wide variety of surfaces including paper, card, fabric, glass, metal, plastic, stone, and wood.

How do I make the ink permanent on different materials?

On paper and card, the ink is permanent without any additional steps. For other materials, specific treatments such as baking or applying a clear varnish are needed. See the 'variant_description' for more details.

Can I remove the ink if I make a mistake?

The ink can be removed from shiny surfaces with a scraper, but it is permanent on absorbent media like paper and card.

Is the ink waterproof?

The ink is water-based and water-resistant once dry, but it's not entirely waterproof, particularly on non-absorbent surfaces without a sealant.

How do I store my Posca markers?

Store the markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution and replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent drying.

Can I use the PC-3M for outdoor projects?

Yes, but for outdoor projects, consider sealing the finished design with a clear varnish for added durability and weather resistance.

What is the stroke width of the PC-3M?

The stroke width of the PC-3M is 0.9 - 1.3 mm.

Are the markers refillable?

No, the PC-3M markers are not refillable.

Troubleshooting

Marker isn't writing or ink flow is inconsistent.

Shake the marker well and re-prime the tip. If the problem persists, clean the tip with a damp cloth or rinse it gently.

Ink appears too transparent on certain surfaces.

Apply multiple coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Surface preparation might be needed.

Ink is smudging after drying.

Ensure the surface is completely dry before touching. For certain surfaces, consider using a clear varnish or sealant after the ink has dried.
