I am curious about the vintage MB Black ink from W. Germany. I have exclusively used only it in my 149 for 30 years to this day with no regrets, it’s lubrication and smoothness is beyond compare. Maybe someone can tell me why it’s so amazing ?
Hi, Charles! 🙂 Thank you for your comment. Montblanc inks actually behave well on most paper types, without bleeding, feathering, or slow dry times. Moreover, Montblanc makes high-end pens, which generally means that their ink should be “safe” to use, without undue concern for staining or corrosion. Thank you and have a nice day! - Chris 😉
Hi, I read that the vintage Midnight Blue is an Iron Gall ink. This type of ink is praised for its nice writing properties, awesome color and durability once dried. The only downside is that there is a possibility of corrosion/damage similar to other permanent ink types. The new edition of midnight blue isn’t an iron gall ink and therefore it lost the charm it had to some enthusiasts because it lacks richness compared to the old edition. I still like the new one and it holds up way better than Supershow or electric blue which behave terribly on the paper I use most.
Windex is a common chemical used to remove ink for forgery purposes. If you’re signing a document or writing a check, you need ink that can survive forgery chemicals such as windex, acetone, alcohol, water, etc.
If it'll stand up to alcohol, windex, or acetone, it'll hold up against forgery attempts and simple spilled water. One of the other issues in old fountain pen inks was that they faded after a few years, especially blue. These new permanent inks don't fade.
Montblanc Permanent Blue has become my favorite blue ink.
Na Na does it damage the pen if it stays inside for longer?
What is wooder?
I just can't see the colour in this video. An close up woud be good. Thanks

Is this the old midnight blue or the old one.
Old one says indelible on the back and is permenant
The inks are still fresh so I wonder how they fare with the Wndex test 24 hours later and 7 days later.
Meant old and new?!?!?!!!!!!!
The midnight blue is permanent, since it's an iron gall ink.
They reformulated a few years back, so it is no longer iron gall.
I dont think anyone is going to accidentally spill windex on their papers....just saying. Dont really know the validity of the "windex test".
