Waternan Hemisphere Problems

Hi Andy---It seems to be in vogue to bash MB. There's nothing wrong with MB inks. What you think about these reviews? http://www.marcuslink.com/pens/ink/montblanc.htm http://freenet-homepage.de/pensninks...ter%20Ink.html http://freenet-homepage.de/pensninks...ngs%20Ink.html http://freenet-homepage.de/pensninks...c%20Sepia.html http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/fo...showtopic=7910 There is something wrong with some Montblanc inks, but I still find some of them interesting, at least that Racing Green. *DROOL* They tend to flow slower than some, but they're good inks. I've used MB inks for years and have never gotten a bad bottle (e.g., mold, slime, stuff precipitating out of solution). Can't say that about many other brands including a couple that are really popular in some on-line pen communities. BTW, MB's Blue-Black is fantastic in free-flowing vintage pens. That is iron gall ink. It is not very eternal ink. It will slowly eat paper. After many years you'll have that paper filled with holes and those holes are in the shape of those letters you wrote. The review that I have read gave higher marks to the Waterman than to Mont Blancs! Again, it's in vogue to bash MBs. I don't have many of them (half a dozen or so) , but those that I do own work well. Have you ever had problem called "Montblanc bomb"? Have you ever had ink in gripping section? http://faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/rjm...s/montblan.htm http://www.canit.se/~griffon/writing...blanc_149.html If I were rich man, I would buy some Montblanc Meisterstück 149 -fountain pen, but I would not carry it on my pocket or backpack. I would keep it on a pen cup. I would use it only when writing in front of my table. -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * http colon slash slash iki dot fi slash juhtolv "Yhtälailla säälittävä olen niin kuin muutkin, yksinäinen jos et tuu ja jos sä sitten tuutkin, olen sulle kohtelias, mutta vain sen verran, että saan sut sänkyyni tämän yhden kerran.
