Marker set uni-ball POSCA PC-3M — 16 multicolour markers, water-based pigment ink, fine 0.9–1.3 mm tip

uni-ball POSCA PC-3M — 16 multicolour markers with water-based pigment ink and a fine bullet tip (approx. 0.9–1.3 mm) offer precise, opaque colour for a wide range of creative and practical tasks. These markers deliver steady lines and solid coverage on paper, cardboard, wood, ceramics and many coated surfaces. The water-based pigment formulation provides vibrant, lightfast colour that becomes water-resistant when dry, making the set suitable for illustration, lettering, colouring and detailed craft work.

Advantages

The PC-3M markers combine a compact fine tip with pigment-based, water-soluble ink that yields consistent, even strokes and strong opacity. Their fine bullet tip enables accurate detail and controlled line width, while the water-based formula reduces odor compared with solvent markers. Once dry, the pigment ink resists water and maintains colour stability, and the markers perform well on porous and non-porous surfaces commonly used in art and decoration.

Suitable for

• Illustration and sketching with detailed line work
• Lettering, calligraphy accents and hand-drawn signs
• Colouring, filling small areas and adding highlights
• Crafts, mixed-media projects and DIY decoration
• Marking on paper, cardboard, wood, ceramics and coated surfaces

How to use

Shake each marker well before use to mix the pigment evenly, then press the tip gently on scrap paper until the ink flows and the tip is saturated. Draw with a steady hand for consistent lines; the fine 0.9–1.3 mm tip is designed for controlled strokes and detail work. For denser coverage, apply multiple passes after the previous layer has dried. On non-porous surfaces, allow the ink to dry fully to achieve water resistance. Recap markers after use to prevent drying.

Usage recommendations

Store markers horizontally to maintain even ink distribution. Test colours on a hidden area before applying to the final surface, especially on glossy or coated materials. For archival or outdoor applications, consider sealing finished work with an appropriate varnish or fixative compatible with pigment inks.
