FAQs

What surfaces can I use the Uni-Ball Posca PC-1M on?

You can use it on a wide variety of surfaces, including paper, card, metal, glass, plastic, fabric, wood, terracotta, and porcelain.

How do I make the ink permanent?

Permanence depends on the surface. For porous surfaces like paper, it's permanent. For others, like glass or metal, you may need to bake or apply a clear varnish.

Is the ink waterproof?

The ink is water-based and water-resistant once dry, but not entirely waterproof without additional sealing.

How do I clean the marker tip?

Gently wipe the tip with a clean, damp cloth if it gets clogged. Avoid pressing the tip too hard.

Can I use this marker for outdoor projects?

Yes, but be aware that direct sunlight and weather may affect the longevity of the design. Sealing the design with a UV-resistant varnish is recommended for outdoor use.

What is the stroke width of the PC-1M?

The stroke width is approximately 0.7mm to 1mm.

Is the ink odorless?

Yes, the ink is water-based and odorless.

Troubleshooting

Marker isn't writing or ink flow is inconsistent.

Shake the marker well with the cap on. Press the tip gently on a surface to re-prime it. Ensure the tip is clean and free from debris.

Ink appears too transparent or faded.

Ensure you are using the marker on a compatible surface. Apply the ink in multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next, to achieve full opacity.

Ink is smudging or not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the marker. Allow sufficient drying time before handling. For non-porous surfaces, consider using a clear sealant or varnish to protect the design.
