PREPARE THE POSCA MARKER

Shake the marker energetically up and down with the cap on. You will hear the ball inside clicking announcing
that the paint colour inside the POSCA marker is being mixed.

PRIME AND TEST THE MARKER

Press the tip several times on a spare piece of paper until the tip is filled with paint. Test the flow on your spare
paper – if the line is clear, your POSCA is ready. It is useful to keep a cloth at hand to clean the tip easily or
absorb any excess paint.

RE-PRIME

If the paint flows less freely during use, shake the marker again without forgetting to put the cap on first to
avoid paint projections. Re-prime the tip and off you go again!

CLEAN

If necessary, you can clean the tip under the tap as often as you want. If it gets very dry, you can even leave it
to soak in water overnight.

REPLACE

If the tip becomes damaged, it can be turned round or even replaced with a new tip bought separately.

Reversible tips: PC-3M and PC-5M

Replaceable tips: PC-1MC, PC-3M, PC-5M, PC-7M, PC-8K, PC-17K.

can be used to mix the paint, which is perfectly conserved inside the body of the marker. The brush-tipped
POSCA should be kept horizontal if possible.
