Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the piston converter is properly filled or the ink cartridge is correctly seated. Check for any blockages in the nib or feed. Flush the nib and feed with cool water if necessary.

Ink leaking from the pen

Verify that the piston converter or ink cartridge is securely attached. Ensure the pen has not been dropped or subjected to extreme pressure. Avoid overfilling the converter.

Scratchy or inconsistent writing

The nib may require minor adjustment or break-in. Write consistently on smooth paper. If the issue persists, consult a Montblanc boutique or authorized service center.

Gold-coated parts tarnishing

Gently polish the gold-coated parts with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds.
