Montblanc – Elixir Calligraphy

To complement the Meisterstck Calligraphy Collection, two permanent inks have been created, inspired by old India ink, one of the oldest and most durable pigments. Permanent ink contains more solids than other inks, which build up inside the fountain pen over time. The water in the ink, which causes it to flow, evaporates, leaving behind soot and sediment that line the capillary grooves of the ink regulator and the fine capillaries of the piston filling mechanism. For this reason, it is important to clean the fountain pen with lukewarm water after every use of permanent ink to keep it in perfect condition.
