Marker uni-ball POSCA PC-3M Red — single red water-based pigment marker, medium 1.0–2.5 mm tip

uni-ball POSCA PC-3M Red is a single red water-based pigment marker supplied in blister packaging. It features a universal bullet tip with a medium line width of approximately 1.0–2.5 mm and opaque, lightfast ink that writes on paper, cardboard, wood, ceramics and many other surfaces. The marker combines a compact barrel and a resilient tip that adapts to both colouring and precise line work, making it suitable for illustration, lettering, hobby and craft projects, marking and detailing.

Advantages

The POSCA PC-3M offers consistent, opaque coverage from a water-based pigment formula that resists fading and works well on porous and non-porous surfaces. Its medium bullet tip provides control for both fine lines and fill areas while the compact, thin barrel supports detailed handling. The marker is single-colour (red) and comes in blister packaging for easy storage and display.

How to use

Shake the marker with the cap on before first use to mix the pigment evenly. Press the tip down gently on a scrap surface until ink flows, then test the line on paper. Apply with steady pressure for consistent strokes; use the rounded bullet tip for controlled lines or hold at a flatter angle to fill larger areas. Allow the ink to dry between layers; drying time depends on the substrate.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on clean, dry surfaces. Test the marker on an inconspicuous area when applying to non-porous surfaces such as glass or glazed ceramics. When used on textiles, perform a colourfastness test and consider fixing methods appropriate for the material. Replace cap after use to prevent drying.
