Skipping On Certain Paper

[mge01park]

I have a Montblanc 147 Traveler which takes only cartridges and I've used MB only. The pen is skipping fairly miserably on Rhodia dot grid A4+ paper pad sheets but hardly at all regular cheap copy paper, etc.

I feel it hasn't skipped in the past on any paper but not sure. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

My first guess would be to not use Rhodia dot grid A4+ paper.

 

Second guess would be to take a good look at the nib under magnification.

Thanks and what would I look for?

I decided to send to MB for service as it started skipping on all paper types. The pen is over 20 years old and probably needs something.

The Rhodia paper tends not to draw the ink out of the pen as cheaper papers do suggesting the pen might need a flush which you can do using one of David Nishimura's Cleaning Bulbs for $4.95 as its a cartridge pen you say you have.

 

As its been 20 years I'm sure a service will sort things out for you.
