Green Posca Marker Fine Tip 3M

• PAINT: The heart of POSCA! Rich in pigments, POSCA paint provides results of incomparable density. Its unique water-based formulation delivers bright, matte, opaque colours that withstand the passage of time. It has no odour. Layerable, mixable, water-soluble, weather-resistant… no fewer than 55 colours (some with glitter, metallic or fluorescent) offer unlimited creative possibilities.
• USAGE: The fine-point POSCA PC-3M is the quintessential creative tool used by connoisseurs. With a precise, assured stroke, it can customize, create, decorate and mark anything that inspires you.
• APPLICATION: The PC-3M is ideal for many users: artists and creative professionals such as designers who use it to add colour or shading to plans; fans of creative hobbies such as scrapbooking and card-making, who use it to decorate photos, write on glass and make beautiful table settings; keen decorators who use it to upscale objects; surfers and skaters for customizing their boards; everyday creative people for transforming a cap or t-shirt and budding artists for light-filled drawings with deep colours.
• THE VALVE MECHANISM: POSCA comes to life! The unique valve mechanism that guarantees a perfect seal for the marker and conserves the paint over time. The same mechanism is used to prime the POSCA for use and to re-saturate the tip as often as necessary during creation.
• THE TIP: The link between the artist and the work. The POSCA range includes no fewer than eight sizes and five different tip shapes. Made either of acrylic or plastic, they are all ultra-hardwearing and perfectly suited to their respective uses.
  The very high quality of the materials used guarantees a stroke that is always perfectly smooth. The line is regular, the action is unique and the pleasure of creating with POSCA is unparalleled.
• THE BALL: The sound signature of POSCA!. To ensure a consistent texture from beginning to end, a little ball is placed inside the marker to mix the ingredients of the POSCA paint. Just shake the marker energetically (with the cap on), and you will hear its characteristic, sought-after clicking!
• THE BODY: An iconic design! From near or far, POSCA is instantly recognizable. Its deep black body, the five coloured letters of its logo (three primary and one secondary) and the UNI signature are inimitable. Sized differently based on the tip of the marker, the body shape enables an easy, comfortable grip.
• THE CAP: An explosion of colours! The sealed cap ensures a long life for the marker. Conveniently, its colour (or the colour of the pocket tab, depending on the model) shows the colour of the paint. The caps of a handful of POSCA markers on a table are a visual treat and the promise of a highly colourful creation!

USER GUIDE

PREPARING YOUR POSCA
Vigorously shake the marker up and down with the cap on. The ball inside, with its characteristic clicking, will thus homogenize the colour.

PRIME THE MARKER
Press the tip several times on a spare piece of paper until the tip is completely filled with paint. Test it out to remove any excess paint, and you are ready to go!

RE-PRIME
If the paint begins to flow less freely during use, shake the marker again, taking care to put the cap back on first to avoid paint splatter. Re-prime the tip, test it and o! you go again!

DRYING TIME
It is very quick, a few minutes at most! The paint generally dries faster on porous surfaces than on smooth surfaces. You can correct any mistakes at any time: once the paint is dry, just paint another layer of POSCA over the top, which will completely cover the first!

STORAGE
Your POSCA markers can be kept in any position as long as the cap is put back on firmly after use. The integrated ball means the paint stored in the body of the marker can be re-mixed at any time. The POSCA brush tip is an exception. It should be stored in a horizontal position.

Tips

Most POSCA tips are washable and replaceable (PC-1MC, PC-3M, PC-5M, PC-7M, PC-8K and PC-17K).
Some are also reversible (PC-3M and PC-5M).
If a tip ever dries out over time (for example if the cap was not put back on properly), you can soak it in a glass of water to be able to use it again.

Effects

WATER SOLUBLE
Before the ink dries, use a brush that has been pre-soaked in water and work the paint directly on the material to get the effect you want.

MIXABLE
As long as the paint is still wet, colours can be mixed on the work surface by blending with the tip or a rag to create infinite gradations of colour.

SUPERIMPOSABLE
Posca paint’s high-density coverage is ideal for superimposing layers. Thanks to its fast drying time, layers can be superimposed without smudging.

BLOWING
For a ‘spray’ effect, you can blow vigorously (and carefully!) on the tip of the POSCA after priming it with extra paint. This technique, which we recommend you test beforehand, works ideally with the wider tips: PC-5M, PC-7M, PC-8K and PC-17K.
