Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This fountain pen utilizes a piston converter for drawing ink from a bottle. To fill, unscrew the blind cap, submerge the nib in ink, and carefully turn the piston mechanism clockwise to draw ink into the converter. Ensure the nib is cleaned after filling. The pen is also compatible with Montblanc ink cartridges, which can be inserted by removing the piston mechanism.
Compatibility: The pen is compatible with bottled fountain pen inks and Montblanc brand ink cartridges. It is designed to work best with high-quality fountain pen paper to prevent feathering or bleed-through.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and appearance, clean the nib and feed regularly, especially when switching ink colors or if the pen has been unused for an extended period. Use cool water and a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Store the pen cap-up to prevent ink leakage and protect the nib. Periodic polishing of the resin body and gold-coated trim with a soft cloth will maintain its luster.
