uni-ball POSCA PC-3M Silver is a silver water-based pigment marker in a single pack, designed for producing opaque metallic effects on paper, cardboard, wood, fabric and other surfaces.

The ink is water-based and washable from many fabrics, making the pen suitable for a variety of creative, decorative and labelling applications.

Advantages

The water-based formulation offers good coverage on light and dark backgrounds while remaining washable on many textiles.

How to use

Shake the marker well with the cap on before use to mix the pigment evenly. Remove the cap and press the nib gently on a test surface to activate the ink if needed. Apply with steady pressure for consistent lines; use multiple passes for more opaque coverage or fill larger areas with repeated strokes. After use, replace the cap securely to prevent the nib from drying. Test on an inconspicuous area before applying to sensitive or non-porous surfaces.

Usage recommendations

For best results on fabric, allow the ink to dry fully and follow any fabric care instructions; while the ink is washable on many textiles, colourfastness depends on the material and washing conditions. Avoid applying on hot or heat-sensitive surfaces immediately after drying. Store horizontally or with the cap on to maintain nib condition and ink flow.
