UNI POSCA PC-3M Marker Set – Versatility and Creative Freedom
Product: Water-based acrylic markers
Nib: 0.9–1.3 mm (medium)
For those looking for a tool that blurs the lines between traditional drawing and decoration, the UNI POSCA PC-3M is an indispensable choice. These paint markers are world-renowned by professionals for their unique pigment and ability to write on almost any surface. We tested the 8-color set and evaluated its capabilities.
1. Unmatched Versatility Across Surfaces
The core strength of POSCA is its pigmented ink, which covers surfaces like paint but is used as easily as a pen. This set is perfect for:
- Paper and Cardboard: The paint does not bleed through thick paper.
- Plastic, Metal, and Glass: Colors stay vibrant on smooth surfaces and can be wiped off glass with a damp cloth (unless sealed with varnish).
- Wood and Textiles: On porous surfaces, the pigment absorbs and becomes long-lasting.
2. Precision and Control with the PC-3M Nib
The 0.9–1.3 mm fiber nib is considered the most versatile "middle ground." It is thin enough for precise outlines yet thick enough to fill small areas with color. The water-based formula ensures a solid, continuous line and a rich, matte finish.
3. Safety and Quality
UNI POSCA markers are non-toxic and odorless, making them safe for indoor use or for children. The ink is fade-resistant (UV resistant) and quick-drying, reducing the risk of smudging unfinished work.

Verdict

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are POSCA markers permanent?
On porous surfaces (wood, paper), they are permanent. On smooth surfaces (glass, ceramics), they can be wiped off unless fixed with varnish or baked (in the case of ceramics).
How do I activate the marker for the first time?
Shake the marker well (you will hear a ball inside), then gently press the nib onto paper several times until it fills with paint.
