Every once in a while I've used generic brand refills for my Mont Blancs and never noticed a difference. Maybe I've just been lucky. Perhaps some generics are better than others.

I've also used other brand ink in MB fountain pens without any issues, although they've always been name brands. I'm using Pelican ink in them at the moment but I've used others.
