1. Versatility Across All Surfaces
One of the strongest features of this marker is its pigment's ability to adapt. We tested it on various materials:
- Paper and Cardboard: The ink doesn't bleed through or leave marks on the other side.
- Glass and Metal: The color stays vibrant, and can be wiped off smooth surfaces with a damp cloth (unless fixed with varnish).
- Wood and Plastic: Great for decorating, the color remains solid and fade-resistant.
2. Precise Tip and Ease of Use
The PC-3M model features a medium-sized (0.9–1.3 mm) fiber tip, which is the "goldilocks" zone for most tasks:
- Outlines and Details: Fine enough for drawing precise lines.
- Coloring: Thick enough to quickly fill small areas with even color.
- Ergonomics: The barrel is lightweight and comfortable, preventing hand fatigue during long creative sessions.
3. Safe and Long-lasting Formula
UNI POSCA ink is water-based but possesses properties typical of acrylic paints. It is non-toxic and odorless, making it safe for indoor use or working with children. Additionally, the ink dries very quickly, preventing smudging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this marker permanent?
On porous surfaces (paper, wood), it is permanent. On smooth surfaces (glass, plastic), it can be wiped off unless the surface is fixed with special varnishes.
Does the red color cover dark surfaces well?
Yes, POSCA paints are highly pigmented and offer excellent opacity, so the red color will be vibrant even on black paper or dark plastic.
Do I need to shake the marker before use?
Yes, the internal ball helps mix the pigment. Shake well before use and gently press the tip onto paper several times until it fills with paint.
