Product Information

Full details

The Uni-ball Posca PC-3M 8-pack is an essential tool for artists, crafters, and students who require precision and versatility in their creative projects. These markers are designed for detailed illustration and personalization across a wide variety of surfaces, offering opaque, quick-drying color that resists fading and water damage. While the markers provide excellent coverage on almost any material, users should be aware that the fine tip may require periodic shaking and priming to maintain consistent paint flow, especially after long periods of storage.

FAQs

Are these markers safe for children?

Yes, Posca markers are water-based and acid-free, making them generally safe for use by older children and students.

Can I use these on fabric?

Yes, they work on fabric. For best results, heat-set the design with an iron (without steam) after the paint has fully dried.

Is the paint permanent?

The paint is water-resistant on most surfaces once dry, though on non-porous surfaces like glass, it can be removed with consistent scrubbing or glass cleaner.

Do I need a primer for wood?

Generally, no. The paint is quite opaque, but using a primer or gesso can help achieve an even more vibrant finish on very porous wood.

Can I blend these markers?

Yes, you can blend the colors while they are still wet by using a brush or by layering the marker directly on the surface.

How do I store my Posca pens?

Store them horizontally to ensure the pigment remains evenly mixed and the nib stays moist.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not flowing to the tip

Ensure the cap is closed, shake the pen vigorously, and press the tip down repeatedly on a hard surface to prime it.

The tip has become dry or clogged

Remove the nib, rinse it under cold running water, let it air dry completely, and re-insert it before priming.

Color is streaky or uneven

Apply a second layer after the first has dried completely to build opacity and achieve a solid finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity on dark and light surfaces
  • Versatile application across porous and non-porous materials
  • Fade-resistant formula preserves artwork longevity
  • Precise tip size for fine detail work
  • Blendable formula allows for smooth color transitions

Cons

  • Requires periodic shaking to keep pigment mixed
  • Nib can dry out if the cap is left off for too long
  • Refillable paint may require practice to achieve specific watercolor effects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Posca markers, ensure the cap is on and shake the pen firmly to mix the internal paint. Press the nib down onto a scrap piece of paper repeatedly until the tip saturates with paint. For maintenance, always replace the cap tightly after every use to prevent the water-based ink from drying out in the nib. If a tip becomes clogged or dry, it can often be rinsed with cold water or replaced. Store these markers horizontally whenever possible to ensure an even distribution of paint within the barrel, which helps maintain consistent flow during your next project.
