My question relates to filling a Pelikan M805 Souveran. After turning the knob to pull ink in, should I then gently let out a few (3 - 8) drops of ink and then replace those drops with some air? I recall doing this when I filled a Montblanc decades ago, but haven't seen any reference recently to this procedure. Is it recommended for any other piston-filled pens?
