Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To begin using your fountain pen, you can either fill the piston converter with bottled ink or insert a compatible Montblanc ink cartridge. If using bottled ink, unscrew the blind cap, submerge the nib in ink, and slowly turn the piston knob to draw ink into the converter. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped. If using a cartridge, firmly push it onto the nib's feed until it clicks into place. Screw the barrel back on.
Compatibility: This fountain pen is designed to work with Montblanc ink cartridges and bottled ink via the fitted piston converter. Using non-Montblanc inks or cartridges may affect performance and void the warranty.
Care: Clean the nib and feed regularly (e.g., monthly or when changing ink colors) by flushing with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the pen cap-up when not in use to prevent ink leakage. Protect the precious resin and gold-coated parts from scratches by storing it in its case or a soft pouch.
