What brand of fountain pen ink would you recommend when using VERY expensive MontBlanc fountain pens?
933119
I use the MontBlanc ink in this pen most of the time. I have many MontBlanc pens and some others - some very expensive and I really do find that when using a fountain pen, I actually do prefer MontBlanc over other inks. It really also depends on the nib and the paper. The MontBlanc ink is fairly wet but not as wet as the Pilot Iroshizuku ink though which is very good but only on very high quality paper. Those two inks are best for me with this pen. I hate to say it but the color matters as well. When I am using black, I prefer writing with the MontBlanc ink but the Pilot blue is really a special looking ink and if you are going for blue, I would not use a Ef nib cause it will be VERY wet. Those are my recommendations and I hope it helps.

Diamine, Noodler's, Iroshizuku, whatever. An expensive pen should be able to handle these popular inks.

Absolutely! in fact i use Noodler´s black bulletproof ink in my Namiki Falcon, because a well known illustrator from Sweden recommended it in his Facebook.

Yes, very well. I bought 2 (or 3, I don't remember) specifically for use with fountain pens and they work great. Nice bright white paper, no bleedthrough or feathering. I use mostly Diamine inks.

Do not, under any circumstances, buy a MontBlanc on Amazon. I bought one and not only did it crack in 1 week, but I took it to the MontBlanc dealer and they let me know it was a fake and that MontBlanc didn't even make that size pen. So just go to a MontBlanc dealer and spend the extra money to get the real deal.

I have tried several different types of replacement inks for Lexmark printers. None of them have worked. I only use the Lexmark brand ink. I know it is costly, but I was wasting a lot of money on replacemnt ink that just didn't work.

They are really good for fountain pens. For me, I use Noodler's, J. Herbin, Pilot Iroshizuku and Private Reserve inks, no bleed-through at all.

That depends on the font and density. Times New Roman uses the least ink. These cartridges last a long time. I'm completely satisfied.

It fills with either standard cartridges (long or short, both fit fine) or can use a converter (included) with your choice of bottled ink. As for which ink to use and what's best, that is widely debated and comes down to personal taste. My personal favorite is Waterman "Serenity Blue" (formerly "Florida Blue"). To me, it has the richness I'm looking for without being too dark for my taste. Most fountain pen ink is water-based and is considered "washable" - something to consider if you're writing checks with it. If you want PERMANENT ink that's wash-proof, you can get that as well. But you'll need to be especially careful not to let the ink dry inside the nib or section. No amount of soaking in water will fix it.

I use Sheaffer. Any of the inks other writers have suggested are excellent for your pen.

The Dignitary takes a short international cartridge. Any brand will work. In addition to one ink cartridge, the Dignitary comes with a piston filler so you can use your own favorite ink. Any nice bottled ink will work great for you.

I used a fine point permanent marker on it and it bled through, I've never used a fountain pen before on it, so I'm not sure, sorry!

Medium. BTW, if you are interested in some really nice writing, you can get Monteverde blue ink refill to replace the black that comes with this. That would depend on your personal choice of ink colors.

I found it easier to get ink from my local art supply store. Not all office supply stores carry a full line of fountain pen ink. You can refill the cartridge converter with a good fountain pen ink but I find the cartridge refills more convenient when I'm on the go. I think the art supply person said these take an international style. I hope this helps.

yes, the ink can be used for fountain pens. I recommend you have a dropper to transfer the ink.

I bought the Lamy brand converter and haven't try other brands'. They look same, I think you can use standard international converter.
