Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the pen, ensure you use high-quality, fountain-pen-safe bottled ink or standard Montblanc cartridges. When filling via an ink converter, ensure the nib is fully submerged in the ink bottle and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth after the process. Avoid dropping the pen, as the precious resin can chip or crack upon impact. To clean, rinse the nib assembly periodically with lukewarm water to prevent dried ink buildup, especially if the pen will remain unused for more than a few days. Always store the pen in a protective case to preserve the finish of the resin and the integrity of the metal clip.
