What surfaces can POSCA markers be used on?
POSCA markers can be used on many surfaces including paper, cardboard, wood, canvas, glass, ceramic, metal, plastic, fabric, textiles, stone, concrete, pebbles and terracotta. Preparation and fixation methods vary depending on the surface.
Which POSCA marker should I choose?
The best POSCA marker depends on the project. Fine tips are ideal for detail, outlines and illustration, while medium and broad tips are better for colouring, lettering, posters, signage and larger creative surfaces.
Are POSCA markers permanent?
POSCA markers can be permanent on porous surfaces such as paper, cardboard, wood, canvas and stone. On smooth non-porous surfaces such as glass, plastic and metal, the paint may be removable unless fixed with a suitable varnish or heat-setting method.
Are POSCA markers suitable for outdoor use?
POSCA markers can be used for outdoor projects on suitable surfaces. A protective water-based spray varnish is recommended to help improve durability and weather resistance.
Can POSCA markers be used on fabric?
Yes. POSCA markers can be used on fabric, textiles, canvas shoes, tote bags and similar surfaces. For better durability, allow the paint to dry fully and heat-set according to the fabric type, usually by ironing on the reverse side where suitable.
How do I prepare a POSCA marker before use?
Shake the marker well with the cap on, press the tip gently to prime the paint flow, and test it on scrap paper before starting your artwork.
How should POSCA markers be stored?
POSCA markers should be stored with the cap securely fitted. Brush-tip models are best stored horizontally to help maintain even paint flow.
Are POSCA markers safe for skin or cosmetic use?
No. POSCA markers are not approved for cosmetic or skin use. They are designed for creative projects on suitable art, craft and decorative surfaces.
