Care & Use

CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Your writing instrument is crafted from materials of very high quality. For some editions, natural substances such as precious stones (e.g. diamonds, sapphires or rubies), natural stones (e.g. jade, turquoise or jasper) or natural materials (e.g. mother-of-pearl, wood or mammoth ivory) have been used, giving each piece a special character and necessitating particular caution during use. To guard against damage or breakage, it is advisable to handle the creation with care. Please protect it from moisture, heat, sunlight, shock and impact to ensure continued enjoyment for many years to come. If any ink should come into contact with a wooden or stone surface, please clean it immediately with a damp, lint-free cloth to prevent possible natural reactions with the material.

Always use a lint-free, damp cloth and avoid harmful substances and all contact with corrosive or solvent containing cleaning agents and chemicals. Depending on material, please use a suitable cleaning cloth. We strongly recommend that the cap is not attached to the rear end of the cone as this may damage your writing instrument. The design of some editions does not allow attaching the cap at all.

STORAGE OF YOUR MONTBLANC WRITING INSTRUMENT

We recommend keeping your Montblanc writing instrument in a Montblanc pouch for protection. Storing your writing instrument in a pen pouch will help protect it from dirt, scratches and wear. Please store your writing instrument at room temperature and normal atmospheric humidity. When not using your Montblanc writing instrument for an extended period of time, it is advisable to remove all ink from the fountain pen and clean it with water with no additives.

CLEANING AND REFILLING YOUR FOUNTAIN PEN

To maintain the best condition of your fountain pen, Montblanc recommends cleaning the writing instrument once every three months. This is especially important if the ink has dried out, if the ink flow has become irregular, or if you want to use a different colour ink.

Here we illustrate the best way to clean your fountain pen, as well as offering a helpful guide to refilling the ink.
