For intensive writing in studies, the resin grip area of the Montblanc fountain pens speaks, since models with a metal grip can slip more easily from the hand during longer exams. The nib strength should fit the size of the handwriting; a B nib is rather for large, an F or M nib for smaller handwritings. With the Solitaire model, weight and look of the slimmer variant often decide in favour of this construction. Advantageous is additionally that the nib can be exchanged at the specialist retailer free of charge if the chosen strength does not convince during writing.
