Have You Seen Montblanc's Warning On Using Burgundy Red Ink

[edwardt]

The service booklet states that the Red Burgundy ink is not recommended for the Starwalker Black series. The ferro-gallic content of the ink might cause colour changes to the nib and forepart in the long-run.

 

Has anyone else noticed this and whether this ink has had an adverse effect on any pen?

 

Cheers.

Here's the excerpt from the booklet.

Sure makes sense. Unfortunately unless you know the ferro-gallic content of any ink you have no way of knowing which inks other than Montblanc's Burgundy Red will also effect the pen.

When did you get the bottle?

Burgundy red is not marketed as an Iron gall ink? I use in plastic Lamy pens with steel nibs all the time and have not had a problem yet.

I noticed that note in my Blue Hour FP's service booklet. Not sure if the same message is contained in the pamphlet that comes with the Burgundy Red ink.

The message should be for blue black ink...really unusual for MB burgundy...

I've used the Montblanc burgundy ink in a lot of different brand pens (including Montblanc) and never experienced a problem. It's a really nice shade of red.

 

I don't have a starwalker, though.

 

I did not notice that warning in with my bottle....will have to go read the fine print.
