FAQs

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

The PC-5M markers work on almost any surface, including paper, card, wood, metal, glass, plastic, fabric, stone, and ceramic.

Is the ink permanent?

The ink is permanent on absorbent surfaces like paper and card. For other surfaces, like glass and plastic, it's recommended to apply a sealant for permanence.

How do I make the ink permanent on fabric?

To make the ink permanent on textiles, iron on the reverse side of the fabric.

How do I make the ink permanent on glass?

Bake in oven at 160°C for 45 minutes, then spray with clear varnish.

How do I make the ink permanent on metal?

Spray with clear varnish.

Is the ink waterproof?

Yes, the ink is water-resistant when dry.

How should I store my Posca markers?

Store the markers horizontally with the caps on.

Can I use these markers for fine details?

The PC-5M is better suited for medium lines and filling. If you require extremely fine details, consider using a finer-tipped Posca marker, such as the PC-3M or PC-1MR.

Troubleshooting

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

Shake the marker vigorously with the cap on. Prime the tip by pressing it down on a surface several times. If the tip is clogged, try cleaning it with water.

Ink is bleeding or feathering on the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply the marker with even pressure. Try a different type of paper or surface.

Color appears different after drying.

Colors may appear slightly different on various surfaces. Test the marker on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Before use, shake the marker well with the cap on to mix the ink.
Priming the Tip: Press the tip down on a surface a few times until the ink starts to flow.
Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the marker.
Application: Apply the marker with even pressure for consistent results.
Sealing (Optional): For non-absorbent surfaces like glass, metal, and plastic, consider applying a clear sealant or varnish after the ink has dried to ensure durability. Refer to the specific surface to be sure.

Compatibility:

The PC-5M is compatible with most surfaces, including paper, card, wood, metal, glass, plastic, fabric, stone, and ceramic.

Care:

Store markers horizontally to ensure even ink distribution.
Replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the ink from drying out.
If the tip dries out, you may be able to revive it by soaking it in water or using a specialty tip cleaner.
