Troubleshooting
Pen not writing or skipping
Check if the ink cartridge needs replacement. Ensure the ballpoint tip is clean and free of debris. Try writing on a different paper type.
Ink smudging excessively
Allow a few seconds for the ink to dry before touching. Ensure you are using a compatible Montblanc refill, as third-party refills may have different ink properties.
Barrel is difficult to unscrew
Ensure you are twisting in the correct direction (usually counter-clockwise to open). If it feels stuck, do not force it. Contact customer support for assistance.
