Product Information

Full details

The Uni Posca PC-7M marker is designed for artists, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts looking for a versatile, water-based paint marker that performs on a wide range of surfaces. Its key benefit is its opaque, pigment-rich ink that offers high coverage and can be made permanent on porous materials. A potential caveat is that it can be removed from shiny surfaces, requiring a sealant for permanence.

FAQs

How do I make the ink permanent on glass or ceramic?

To make the ink permanent on glass or porcelain, bake the decorated item in an oven at 160°C for 45 minutes. Optionally, after baking, spray with a clear varnish for added protection.

Can I mix Posca inks together?

Yes, Posca inks are mixable. You can blend colors when they are wet, or paint over a dry layer with a different color for opacity.

Does the ink bleed through paper?

No, the Posca ink does not bleed through paper, making it safe to use in sketchbooks and on lighter-weight paper.

What is the best way to store my Posca markers?

Store Posca markers horizontally with the cap on tightly to prevent the nib from drying out and to ensure even ink flow.

How do I clean the marker tip if it gets clogged?

If the tip gets clogged, you can try rinsing it under water and gently re-pumping it on scrap paper. For stubborn clogs, the tip might be removable and cleanable, but refer to specific product care instructions.

What surfaces can I NOT use the Posca PC-7M on?

While the Posca PC-7M works on many surfaces, it is best avoided on extremely oily or greasy surfaces where adhesion is poor. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.

Is the red ink color accurate?

The product description specifies 'Red' as the writing color. For precise shade representation, it is always recommended to consult official color charts or swatches.

Troubleshooting

Marker not writing or ink flow is weak.

Ensure the marker has been properly shaken and the nib primed by pumping it on scrap paper until ink is visible.

Ink seems too thin or streaky.

Allow the first layer to dry completely before applying a second coat for full opacity. Ensure the marker is adequately shaken.

Accidental marks on a smooth surface.

Wipe the area immediately with a damp cloth. If the ink has begun to dry, a scraper or appropriate cleaner for the surface may be needed.

Marker cap is difficult to remove or replace.

Ensure there is no dried ink around the cap. If the cap is stiff, gently twist it while pulling.
