POSCA PC-5M Acrylic Paint Marker Set of 8 Medium, Multicolor

[pastel magnet]

How do I make the ink not waste after I use than I’m done

Like what should I do after I use than I’m finished if I leave it on it’s bad I think cuz the ink is still activated on the lid of the marker

And I heard this marker is permanent is this true

[fading gorge]

Sorry, this is out of my league

I recommend try asking this again but with a more descriptive title

Try saying what’s your problem instead of just saying “pls help me”

I said posca marker help it’s the title I didn’t just say pls help me

I think what theyre trying to tell you is when you are asking for help with something you should provide context in the initial post so that way people can better help you. If you dont provide context people will not know what you are actually asking for or how they can help you. The title should be a brief description of the question but then the actual post being where you provide the information people will need to know

Seems like they’re worried about wasting paint/their paint pens drying out after they’re done using them

The cap should suffice

If that’s what your question is truly about

Like what everyone else said, your question is not very descriptive

[pastel magnet]

Yes that’s what I’m talking abt

Like this

If u use the marker pen and the paint is in the surface when your done with your art work and when u close your pen marker there’s still paint on the tip surface I think if u leave it on like that it will eventually not work anymore I think so idk what to do I’m not good at explaining my self with provide more context

And is there a way u can get new paint if your marker runs

Out

I dont think they are refillable. So if it runs out youll have to buy a new one

Yeah their website says nothing about them being refillable nor there being any paint bottles they have available for purchase

Like I said earlier, if you replace the cap securely after the work is done it shouldn't dry out. If it does start to dry out, just Mix a lil watered down rubbing alcohol (like a 3:4 ratio of alcohol to water) and gently run that at the tip to remove the crusty paint bits.

Posca does not offer refils but they say it's ok to refill with any water based paint

[dry mist]

I feel like i should mention how ratios work and I'll explain everything in cups cause Im American and it's simpler

3:4 does not mean taking 3 cups of alcohol and pouring 4 cups of water into it

That's too much

The second number in a ratio is the whole amount of whatever youre mixing

3:4 = 3/4

So if you want a cup of the watered down alcohol, you would fill it 75% of the way with the alcohol and then 25% with the water

Refill it with water and when someone asks if they can use a marker you give it to them 👹

[dry mist]

Ok Satan, chill. That would be a waste of a posca anyway

Fair enough
