Troubleshooting

Pen not writing

Ensure the refill is correctly inserted and has ink. If the refill is depleted, replace it with a new Montblanc ballpoint refill.

Ink flow is inconsistent

Try gently rotating the ballpoint tip on the paper. If the problem persists, the refill may need replacement.

Cap is difficult to remove or attach

Ensure the cap is aligned correctly with the barrel. Check for any debris inside the cap or on the barrel threading and clean gently.
