From being controlled by Dunhill in 1977 to being acquired by Richemont in 1993, Montblanc, the world's No. 1 fountain pen brand, has always been a luxury giant. Like the luxury position of the fountain pen, Montblanc's inks are never cheaper, with a large white star decorated with mother-of-pearl on the cap, a crystal-like bottle and an independent high-heeled shape, often ridiculed as "buy a bottle and get ink".
 
In 2010, Montblanc transferred all its ink production lines to Austrian factories and did not have them manufactured by other brands. Its inks are known for their precision formulation, and each ink has its own formula that strikes a balance between corrosion resistance, flowability, and good paper performance. So Montblanc is similar to Pelikan in that it only grinds three or four inks a year, and the price remains high.
 
Montblanc's most affordable product is also the most classic core collection, but it is generally called "high heels". The bottle of high heels, designed to assist in inking, can accumulate a small amount of ink in the heel and raise the liquid level, and has been a classic in the inkwell world since decades ago. From the earliest duck webbing shape, round heels have evolved to today's square high heels, and the appearance has increased unabated. The "High Heels" collection currently comes in no more than 10 shades, but the basic colors are covered. The most commendable thing is that it is very gentle on the fountain pen, which can clean the inside of the fountain pen to prevent clogging, and the price of 60ml is 150 yuan lower than that of the Bailikan Yicai series.
 
The core range of dye inks is non-waterproof and meets the needs of easy cleaning, but stability is more important in blue and black inks, which are frequently used. Montblanc's Timeless Collection solves this problem, and it is the same pigment ink as Logeco Black, and the handwriting also has a gray expression in black. However, its waterproof characteristics are only effective on general writing paper such as Dowling paper, and the handwriting will still bubble on the printing paper, and the official website price is 220 yuan 60ml.
 
High-end writing brands have always had a penchant for limited editions, and Montblanc is no less than that. Every year, the limited edition series is the most active series of Montblanc inks produced by Montblanc with the Great Writers series and the Art Patron series fountain pens, together with the theme of the zodiac and famous people. Montblanc's limited-edition inks are not as exaggerated as fountain pens, ranging from more than 100 to more than 400 yuan, but rare out-of-print inks tend to be fried for more than 700 yuan.
