FAQs

What surfaces can I use Posca PC-5M markers on?

These markers work on paper, card, wood, textiles, glass, plastic, and metal.

Is the ink permanent?

The ink is permanent on porous materials. On other surfaces, you can make it permanent by baking, ironing, or sealing with varnish.

How do I prime a new marker?

Shake the marker well with the cap on, then press the tip down on a surface several times until the ink starts to flow.

How do I store my Posca markers?

Store the markers horizontally to prevent the tips from drying out.

Can I use these markers on fabric?

Yes, you can use them on fabric, but you should fix the ink with an iron for permanency.

Are the markers waterproof?

The ink is water-resistant after it dries.

What is the tip size?

The tip size is a medium bullet tip, 1.8-2.5mm.

Troubleshooting

Marker isn't writing or the ink flow is inconsistent.

Shake the marker well with the cap on and prime the tip by pressing it down on a surface a few times.

Metallic effect is weak or dull.

Ensure the surface is clean. Shake the marker well before use and apply multiple layers if needed.

Ink is bleeding through the paper.

Use thicker paper or apply the ink in thin layers. Avoid pressing too hard on the tip.

Wipe the tip with a damp cloth or replace it if necessary.
