Montblanc ballpoint vs rollerball

Compare ink systems and replacement refills alongside the instrument’s appearance.

Two ink systems

The official guide distinguishes oil-based ballpoint ink from water-based rollerball ink. This affects writing feel and use. Try both on your usual paper when possible.

Your choice includes replacement ink

Alongside the instrument, compare the refill each model needs and how to identify it. A similar finish does not make the two systems equivalent or establish that they share a refill.
