Montblanc has created a special ink known as the personal code ink.  It was created so executives, financiers, business owners, attorneys, and those who need to make sure their signature is authentic.  Each bottle is completely unique and has its own “DNA” that can only be detected through special testing services at Montblanc boutiques, making it considerably harder for a signature be forged.

Montblanc Personal Code Ink is comprised of components containing an invisible, inimitable botanical code which is similar to the human DNA code. Thus, only one person will own this ink. It cannot be copied, viewed under a microscope or re-engineered and thus prevents falsification of signatures. The authenticity of Montblanc Personal Code Ink will be verified by Montblanc, upon the presentation of a document, letter or memento bearing the owner’s handwriting. A forensic test will then reliably prove if Montblanc Personal Code Ink has, indeed, been utilized. Every request to verify authenticity will receive VIP treatment by means of an exclusive VIP Service through all Montblanc Boutiques worldwide and a VIP Service Hotline available 24 hours a day. This matchless service will also prevail for Montblanc Personal Code Ink refill orders.

If your signature is important, you should probably consider investing in Montblanc personal code ink.  It is a near perfect way to add a secret level of security to your documents.  If you don’t let anyone know you have it, they won’t know to use it when (and if) they forge your signature.
