Help Me About My First Mb 146 Fp

Recommended Posts

This is my first MB fontain pen. I bought it as second hand item from Ebay.

It is quite new but I have a nib creep problem. While writing a droplet of ink comes up the surface of the nib and immadiately whicked back into the feed living a stain behind. I tried it twice with both MB Black and with Aurora Black ink. It happens more with MB ink when compared with Aurora Black. I flushed and cleaned the pen before inking.

I called MB Service in Turkey about the problem before seeing the pen we can't say anything exactly they said.

Except these what can I do what can the reason for it? Kind regards.

Hi and :W2FPN:

 

If you are actually seeing a "drop" of ink, that would tend to be more than just nib creep IMHO. Possibly a loose piston seal, and it is actually leaking? I'd take it in to the Boutique.

Thank you for your answer. There is no leaking.

It seems to me that Aurora and sMB inks are similar in nature, ie viscosity. Just outta curiosity have you tried a. 3rd MFR?

I haven't try yet. I think the problem is caused from MB 146. Because used same inks with my Pelikan m400 and there is no problem.

Hoorray! with waterman serenity(florida) blue ink there is no nib creep. Thank you so much for your close interest.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
