FAQs

What surfaces can I use this marker on?

The Uni Posca PC-17K works on virtually any surface, including paper, cardboard, metal, glass, plastic, wood, and textiles.

How do I make the ink permanent?

On absorbent surfaces like paper and card, the ink is permanent. For other surfaces, specific treatments like baking or applying varnish are necessary. See setup instructions.

How should I store the marker?

Store the marker horizontally with the cap tightly closed to prevent the ink from drying out.

Can I use this marker for outdoor projects?

Yes, but be sure to seal the surface appropriately to protect the ink from the elements and ensure longevity.

Is the ink waterproof?

The ink is water-resistant, but for maximum durability, especially outdoors, consider sealing your work with a varnish appropriate for the surface.

How do I clean the marker tip?

If the tip becomes clogged, wipe it gently with a damp cloth or paper towel. Be careful not to damage the chisel tip.

Can I use this marker on fabric?

Yes, you can use it on fabric. For permanence, iron the fabric on the reverse side.

Troubleshooting

Marker isn't writing

Shake the marker well and press the tip down on a surface a few times to re-prime it. Ensure there is still ink in the marker.

Ink is patchy or faded.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Press the tip down again to release more ink. Multiple coats might be needed.

Ink smudges after drying.

Ensure the surface is treated according to the instructions for permanence (e.g., applying varnish). Allow sufficient drying time before handling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Writes on virtually any surface.
  • Extra-broad chisel tip is ideal for large-scale projects.
  • Water-based ink is lightfast and water-resistant.
  • Offers a full, opaque matt finish.
  • Dries quickly, reducing smudging.

Cons

  • Achieving permanence on non-absorbent surfaces requires specific treatments.
  • The extra-broad tip may not be suitable for fine detail work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the Uni Posca PC-17K Extra-Broad Gold marker:

  1. Preparation: Shake the marker well with the cap on to mix the ink.
  2. Priming: Press the tip down on a surface a few times until the ink flows.
  3. Application: Apply the marker to your desired surface. The chisel tip allows for a variety of strokes.
  4. Surface Treatment for Permanence:
  • Paper/Card: No action needed - POSCA pigment will be absorbed into the fibres, making it permanent.

  • Textiles: Iron on the reverse side.
  • Porcelain: Bake in oven at 160°C for 45 minutes, optionally spray with clear varnish.
  • Metal: Spray with clear varnish.
  • Glass: Bake in oven at 160°C for 45 minutes, then spray with clear varnish.
  • Wood: Spray with clear varnish.
  • Plastic: Spray with clear varnish.

*Compatibility:* The marker is compatible with various surfaces including cardboard, ceramic, glass, metal, plastic, stone, and wood.

*Care:* Store the marker horizontally to ensure even ink distribution. Recap the marker tightly after each use to prevent drying.
