Montblanc Ballpoint Help

[PerryJ]

I have been using FP for a few years now and they just aren't good for my everyday office pen, so I just picked up a MB legrand ballpoint. I have never used refill ballpoints before so I have a stupid question....can I swap refills before it runs out to change colors and save it and then use it again? Or once you start using a refill you have to finish it becuase outside the pen it will dry out?

You should be able to. Ballpoint refills don't normally dry out quickly, so if you want to replace your refill, you can do so safely. Rollerball and gel refills are another story.

Hi, You can swap the refill at any time, it makes no difference to the ink inside it.

Generally ballpoint refills dry out over several years, used or not, and some manufacturers now will put a small blob of wax or similar on the tip of new refills, to prevent drying out before the customer gets them, which obviously gives a longer life to the refill.
