When I write that the standard ones don't last long at all, I've had put a new refill in a pen to write some checks, put that pen back in a drawer, and a month later the refill dries out. Yes the cap is on. If I use only one dedicated pen with a new Mont Blanc pen, I get about a month of usage. My Cartier refills have been much better than my Mont Blanc, but they're an entirely different can of worms.

I'd stay far away from getting a new starwalker pen. I've had one strip, and the parts are inconveniently not available. When I buy a luxury pen from a fine pen maker with after sales service, I expect them to work on my pen later. This isn't the case.

If people are trashing the pen online, there is a good chance it has some flaws that bother some people and not others. I don't have much experience with Mont Blanc Pix. What are people saying about it?
Enjoy them!
